Nothing has rolled out a new set of updates for its Essential Space feature, aiming to improve how users manage their tasks and recordings. One of the most useful additions is Google Calendar integration. This means to-do lists created inside Essential Space can now be automatically synced with your calendar. Users who rely on their phones to stay on top of their schedule may find this change helpful, as it removes the need to manage things in separate apps. The update doesn't require any system-level download, it rolls out directly through the Google Play Store and works once your device is connected to Wi-Fi.advertisementAnother change focuses on the Recorder tool, which sits within the Essential Space suite. After a recording, the app creates an AI summary of the conversation. Now, users can edit this summary to correct or add any important points that the AI may have missed. There's also a new option to export these summaries in various formats — image, PDF, or Markdown — depending on how you want to save or share them.For context, Essential Space is part of Nothing's broader software experience in OS 3.5, which currently ships with the Phone 3. It's designed to offer smart features that stay out of the way but come in handy when needed. With this update, it moves closer to being a useful productivity companion, rather than just a background AI assistant.
For now, the latest Essential Space features are only available on the Nothing Phone 3. However, it is expected that the same tools will make their way to other compatible phones in the coming weeks, including the mid-range models — Phone 3a and 3a Pro.This update comes at a time when the Nothing Phone 3 is gaining momentum. Positioned as Nothing's first proper flagship, it launched recently in India with a starting price of Rs 79,999. The phone features a 6.67-inch OLED display with high peak brightness, a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chip, and a 5,500mAh battery with fast charging. On the back, it packs a trio of 50-megapixel cameras — including a periscope lens — and introduces the new Glyph Matrix lighting system made up of nearly 500 micro-LEDs.Nothing has also added a few thoughtful touches to the hardware design. A glowing red square lights up during video recording, while a circular back button controls the Glyph Matrix's settings. The design remains transparent but now combines aesthetics with added functionality. Under the hood, the phone uses a new image processing system called TrueLens Engine 4, aimed at boosting photo and video performance.- Ends
