British tech brand Nothing has pulled back the curtain on the design of its upcoming Phone 3a series, stirring speculation about a potential Pro variant. Meanwhile, Microsoft is reshaping search with AI-powered Copilot integration in Bing, and Google’s Pixel 9a could take a design leap away from its predecessors. Here’s everything making waves in the tech space today.
Nothing Phone 3a Series Design Unveiled
Nothing is sticking to its roots with a transparent aesthetic, but there’s a notable addition—an extra button on the side. While the device’s official name remains under wraps, leaks suggest it could be the Nothing Phone 3a Pro. The camera module gets a refreshed layout, possibly accommodating a telephoto sensor, hinting at a focus on photography enhancements.
One key confirmation? The Phone 3a series will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset. Whether this means a mid-range or flagship-tier processor is still unknown, but it aligns with Nothing’s trend of balancing performance and price.
Microsoft Bing Embraces Copilot AI for Smarter Search
Bing’s latest update is not just another tweak—it’s a fundamental shift. Microsoft is rolling out Copilot-powered search, an AI-infused feature designed to offer more personalized and context-aware results.
- It summarizes findings in a structured format.
- Provides direct links to relevant sources.
- Offers insight into how responses are generated.
By integrating AI, Microsoft is pushing Bing into direct competition with Google’s Search Generative Experience (SGE), which is also leaning on AI for more intuitive search functionalities.
Google Pixel 9a Could Break Away From Pixel 9 Series Design
A leaked video suggests that Google’s upcoming budget-friendly Pixel 9a will not follow the design template of the rest of the Pixel 9 series. Unlike its predecessors, which sported a glossy back and prominent camera bar, the Pixel 9a appears to have:
- A matte-finished, flat-back design.
- A nearly flush rear camera module.
- A minimalist aesthetic focused on ergonomics.
With Google pushing Tensor-powered AI features across its devices, the Pixel 9a is expected to benefit from enhanced software-based camera improvements, even if hardware specifications remain modest.
