HMD Global is reportedly gearing up to unveil its next modular smartphone, the HMD Fusion 2. This will succeed the original HMD Fusion launched earlier this year. Fresh leaks have now surfaced online, revealing early details about the phone’s upgraded features, design innovations, and expected specifications. Here’s what we know based on the latest leaks.

Upcoming HMD Fusion 2 – Expected Features

Tipster HMD Meme on X (formerly Twitter) recently revealed some key details about the upcoming HMD Fusion 2 in a couple of posts.

In terms of hardware, X posts suggest that the HMD Fusion 2 will feature a 6.58-inch OLED display with Full-HD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate.

The device is expected to be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 6s Gen 4 processor, marking a substantial performance boost over the previous model. When it comes to cameras, the Fusion 2 could pack a 108MP primary sensor with OIS (Optical Image Stabilisation) and an 8MP ultra-wide lens, promising better clarity and versatility in photography.

Additional features reportedly include dual stereo speakers, Bluetooth 5.3, an IP65 dust and water resistance rating, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.

According to a separate HMD Meme post, the upcoming HMD Fusion 2 will debut Smart Outfits Gen 2 and an upgraded Pogo Pin 2.0 connector. To recall, Smart Outfits are modular accessories that attach to the back of the device via smart pins, allowing users to expand functionality or customise the phone’s look and feel.

  • Camera Grip

0

Highlights

  • The Nothing Phone (3a) Lite is expected to launch in Europe on November 4, 2025, priced at €249.99 (Rs 26,000).
  • A global and Indian release is likely imminent, though Nothing has yet to confirm it officially.
  • Leaks suggest the phone will feature a MediaTek Dimensity 7300, FHD+ 120Hz AMOLED display, 50MP + 8MP rear cameras, 16MP front camera, 5,000mAh battery with 33W charging, and Nothing OS 4.0 (Android 16).

While rumours about the Nothing Phone (3a) Lite have been circulating for quite some time now, it appears we may finally have some serious updates. We recently reported on a Geekbench appearance and now, a fresh leak has revealed the expected launch date and price. Considering the leaked launch date is much closer than anyone thought, it is surprising that Nothing has not made things official yet. Anyhow, here’s a quick roundup of what we know from the latest leak

Nothing Phone (3a) Lite – Launch and Price (Leaked)

According to a new report from DealLabs, the Nothing Phone (3a) Lite is expected to go on sale in Europe starting November 4, 2025. This timeline suggests that a global and most likely Indian launch is imminent, hinting that the company could unveil the phone sooner than anticipated.

What’s interesting is that Nothing has remained unusually quiet with less than two weeks to go before the tipped launch date. The introduction of a “Lite” version also comes as a surprise, as this variant is expected to become the most affordable smartphone in the company’s lineup.

As per DealLabs, the Nothing Phone (3a) Lite will be priced at €249.99 for the sole 8GB + 128GB model, which roughly translates to around Rs 26,000 in India. Interesting thing to note here is that Nothing Phone (3a) and Nothing Phone (2a) Plus already exist around this price bracket and are often available for less. This means the upcoming Lite model would need to be priced under Rs 20,000 to stand out.

If Nothing positions it within the Rs 15,000–Rs 20,000 segment, the Phone (3a) Lite could become a strong competitor to mid-range offerings. In this segment, the phone will be placed adjacent to models such as Realme P3 Ultra, Motorola Edge 50 Neo, and Lava Agni 3.

Nothing Phone (3a) Lite – What To Expect?

The upcoming model is expected to sit between the Nothing Phone (3a) and CMF Phone 2 Pro in the company’s lineup. A previous Geekbench listing revealed that the device will be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chipset.

Based on current leaks, the Nothing Phone (3a) Lite is expected to feature a full HD+ 120Hz AMOLED display, Nothing OS 4.0 based on Android 16, 50MP primary camera and 8MP ultra-wide lens and 16MP front camera.

It could also feature 5,000mAh battery with 33W fast charging while being offered in an 8GB RAM and 128GB internal storage variant.

With the launch reportedly just days away, Nothing is expected to make an official announcement soon. We can expect more updates on Nothing Phone (3a) Lite as its debut approaches.

FAQs

Q1. When is the Nothing Phone (3a) Lite expected to launch?

Answer. According to a leak from DealLabs, the Nothing Phone (3a) Lite is expected to go on sale in Europe starting November 4, 2025, with a global and Indian launch likely to follow soon after.

Q2. What is the expected price of the Nothing Phone (3a) Lite?

Answer. The leaked price is €249.99 for the 8GB + 128GB variant, which converts to approximately Rs 26,000 in India. However, for competitive positioning, it may need to be priced under Rs 20,000.

Q3. What are the key specifications of the Nothing Phone (3a) Lite?

Answer Leaks suggest the phone will feature MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chipset, FHD+ 120Hz AMOLED display, 50MP + 8MP rear cameras, 16MP front camera, 5,000mAh battery with 33W fast charging and Nothing OS 4.0 based on Android 16.

Highlights

OpenAI has officially rolled out its Shared Projects feature to all ChatGPT users including those on the Free, Plus, and Pro plans. This powerful addition enhances collaboration by allowing multiple users to work together within the same ChatGPT project. This will streamline teamwork, file sharing, and contextual continuity.

Projects in ChatGPT let users organise related conversations, files, and instructions in one centralised space. This eliminates the need to repeatedly explain background details to ChatGPT, ensuring smoother and faster workflows. The Shared Projects feature now builds upon this by enabling team collaboration in real time, making it ideal for professional and creative projects.

How ChatGPT’s Shared Projects Feature Works?

When creating a Shared Project, the project owner can invite collaborators either via email or a direct link. OpenAI offers two access levels for team members –

  • Chat access – Allows users to view and participate in the project’s conversations, files, and instructions.
  • Edit access – In addition to chat privileges, these users can update instructions, add or remove files, and invite additional team members.

Each Shared Project includes its own private memory, allowing ChatGPT to remember information shared by team members. This means participants won’t have to repeat context or details in future interactions. It’s particularly useful for long-term or multi-phase projects, ensuring consistency and efficiency across sessions.

Private memory also ensures data privacy and security as sensitive or client-specific details remain contained within the project. This makes Shared Projects an invaluable tool for business teams, agencies, researchers, and content creators who want to save time and maintain accuracy in collaborative work.

Company Knowledge Unveiled

OpenAI’s Chief Operating Officer Brad Lightcap also revealed more about another major upgrade called Company Knowledge. It is designed to make ChatGPT even more useful in professional environments.

He described it as a way to eliminate “the work around work,” referring to the time spent switching between apps, searching for data, or combining tools to complete tasks.

Company Knowledge integrates ChatGPT with popular workplace tools such as Slack, SharePoint, Google Drive, and GitHub. This allows users to search across platforms, answer questions, conduct analyses, and even perform actions directly within ChatGPT. The feature is powered by a specialised GPT-5 model optimised for workplace productivity, complete with citations for its responses.

Lightcap highlighted how transformative the feature has been in his own workflow, writing that it has “changed how I use ChatGPT at work.” He added, “It can reason across tools to get answers, do analysis, and take action,” calling Company Knowledge “the most impactful thing we’ve built so far” for professional users.

OpenAI Expands Its AI Ecosystem

In related news, OpenAI has acquired Software Applications Inc., a startup known for developing AI-powered user interfaces for macOS. The acquisition is part of OpenAI’s broader plan to enhance how artificial intelligence performs on-device tasks, further deepening its integration into everyday workflows.

FAQs

Q1. What is the Shared Projects feature in ChatGPT?

Answer. Shared Projects let multiple users collaborate in real time within a single ChatGPT workspace, organising chats, files, and instructions with private memory for contextual continuity.

Q2. Who can access Shared Projects in ChatGPT?

Answer. The feature is now available to all ChatGPT users including Free, Plus, and Pro plans, allowing anyone to invite collaborators via email or link with chat or edit access.

Q3. What is Company Knowledge and how does it work?

Answer. Company Knowledge integrates ChatGPT with tools like Slack, SharePoint, Google Drive, and GitHub, enabling users to search, analyse, and take action across platforms using a GPT-5 model.

Instagram is making content creation more creative and personalised. The latest feature in this endeavour is the new Meta AI-powered story restyling tools. The new Restyle feature allows users to enhance their Stories by removing unwanted elements, adding artistic effects, or completely transforming their photos and videos.

Alongside this update, the platform has also rolled out a new doodle and sticker feature for DMs for users to send messages in fun and interactive ways. Here’s more on both features.

Sharing Stories on Instagram has always been about expressing moments and moods.

With Meta AI integration, users can now take their creativity to the next level by restyling photos and videos with ease. Whether you want to erase background clutter, change aesthetics, or add effects, the new tool makes it effortless to personalise every Story.

Announcing the new feature in a detailed blog post, Instagram said, “Whether you want to simply remove an unwanted detail from your story, include a playful element, change the vibe using a whimsical effect, or start a trend with your friends with Add Yours stickers, now you can.

With the Remove option, users can clean up photos by deleting unwanted objects from the background. Meanwhile, the Add and Change features let you describe what you’d like to see and Meta AI then brings that vision to life.

Instagram has also introduced a variety of preset effects that instantly change your photo or video style. You can virtually try on sunglasses, a biker jacket, or black outfits, or turn your photo into a watercolour painting or film noir scene.

How to Write Great Prompts?

Meta AI responds best to specific and detailed prompts. The clearer your description, the more accurate the AI’s result will be. According to Instagram, here are some things to consider while writing prompts –

  • Subject (like “add a crown on top of the girl’s head”)
  • Lighting and mood (like “add dramatic lighting”, “have light from just a single paparazzi flash”)
  • Composition needs (like “in the bottom left corner”, “in the background”)
  • Style (like “make photorealistic”, “film noir style”)
  • Location (“in outer space”, “in Paris”)

Start or Join Trends Using the “Add Yours” Sticker

To encourage community interaction, Instagram has integrated the Add Yours sticker into Restyle. By adding this sticker before posting your Story, friends can easily use your same AI edits.

Likewise, if you see a Story that includes an Add Yours sticker, you can tap it, select a photo from your camera roll, and apply the same restyle to your own content, making it easy to start or join viral trends.

Instagram explains, “Using Add Yours stickers will make it easy for friends to use the same edits you made. You can get inspiration from your friends or start your very own viral trend! If you want others to be able to make the same edits, apply an Add Yours sticker, which you can access by swiping up on your restyled image before sharing to your story.”

  • Tap the “+” on your profile photo and choose an image from your camera roll.

Once your new image is generated, tap “Done” and share it to your Story.

To restyle videos –
