Nothing Phone (2), Phone (2a), and CMF Phone 1 Now Support 90 FPS in PUBG Mobile 3.4 Update
Nothing is already known for its unique transparent design smartphone. It also has a sub-brand smartphone that comes in the mid-range category. But now, these Nothing smartphones will get into the gaming as well. Recently, some devices have got the 90 FPS option in PUBG Mobile 3.4 such as Nothing Phone (2), Nothing Phone (2a), and CMF Phone 1.
Tencent Games recently released the PUBG Mobile 3.4 update since some Nothing devices have an Extreme+ (90 FPS) option. But there is a small problem to fix you have to go into Pop-up view once and get back to the full screen while in-game. Then only you can enjoy smooth 90 FPS on your devices.
I tried this fix with Nothing Phone (2) and CMF Phone 1 which is working fine, but in the future, Tencent or Nothing may release a fix that prevents smooth 90 FPS gameplay on these devices. For Phone (2a), I don’t know why it’s not working, still capped at 60 FPS or below. But in the pop-view window, it gives smooth 90 FPS, but when getting back to the full screen, it gets capped again.
At least, we should be thankful to Tencent Games they have finally provided us smooth 90 FPS option for some smartphones. For me, I enjoyed playing on Nothing Phone (2) as no major frame drops were seen in the Extreme+ option. It gave me stable FPS in TDM matches and classic matches.
Talking about the CMF Phone 1 it wasn’t great with classic matches as frame drops were happening on the hot drops. So this means you can enjoy TDM matches without any problem on the CMF Phone 1.
For now, I hope that we receive this 90 FPS option in the upcoming BGMI 3.4 update but it remains on the KRAFTON side as they are the publisher of this game in India. The rumored date for releasing BGMI 3.4 update is September 20 this week.
London-based tech brand Nothing has announced that its upcoming Nothing Phone (3a) series will be manufactured in India. The company aims to support India’s growing manufacturing industry, invest in the local economy, and drive innovation.
Earlier, Nothing also made its Phone (1), Phone (2), and Phone (2a) in India at a Tamil Nadu factory. The new Phone (3a) Series will be produced in Chennai, where the factory employs over 500 people, with 95% of them being women. This facility plays a big role in producing Nothing’s latest smartphones.
Nothing’s Growth in India
Nothing is growing fast in the Indian smartphone market. According to Counterpoint Research, the company saw an impressive 577% growth in 2024. This success is mainly due to the Phone (2a) series and its budget-friendly sub-brand CMF by Nothing. The company also recently announced that it has crossed $1 billion in lifetime revenue since launching in October 2020.
Better After-Sales Support & Retail Expansion
To improve customer service, Nothing is expanding its after-sales support in India. It now has five exclusive service centers and a larger network of partner service locations. The company has also expanded its retail presence from 2,000 to 7,000 stores across India.
Nothing Phone (3a) Launch Details
The Nothing Phone (3a) Series is designed in London but will be made in India. The company has already teased the transparent design of the new phone. The official launch is set for March 4th, 2024.
Nothing is all set to launch its highly-anticipated Phone (3a) on March 4. The company has been teasing the phone, and the latest reveal confirms an exciting new feature—a dedicated camera button on the side. This button will allow users to quickly open the camera app and also function as a shutter button for taking photos and videos.
Improved Camera Performance
The Nothing Phone (3a) is expected to focus heavily on camera performance. It will come with a triple-camera setup, including a 50MP telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom—a first for the brand. Alongside the telephoto lens, the phone will feature a 50MP main camera and an 8MP ultrawide sensor, promising improved photography capabilities.
Expected Specifications
Rumors suggest that the Phone (3a) will have a 6.8-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate for a smooth viewing experience. It is expected to be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chipset and pack a 5,000 mAh battery with 45W fast charging support.
Leaked and Official Reveals
Recently, a leaked image showed the Nothing Phone (3a) with a protective case applied. While the full design remains a mystery, the new triple-camera setup was clearly visible. Later, Nothing officially confirmed the triple-camera design, along with slight changes to the Glyph LED lights on the back. However, the complete rear design of the phone has yet to be revealed.
With the launch just around the corner, more details are expected to surface soon.
