    Nothing reveals upcoming Phone (3a) design on social media

    By Timothy Teoh February 27, 2025

    Though the launch is slated for 4th March, Nothing is making no effort to keep the Phone (3a) series under lock and key. Just a few days ago, the London-based company unwrapped what is believed to be either the ‘Pro’ or ‘Plus’ variant of the Phone (3a) Series. Now, they’ve lifted the lid on the base Phone (3a) model.

    Nothing hasn’t officially revealed its model names just yet, so we’re basing them on convention. Nevertheless, since Nothing previously showcased a periscope camera on the earlier model, we’re assuming that would be the series-topping ‘Pro’ or ‘Plus’ variant.

    In their latest unveiling, the purported base model strikes a similar look to last year’s Phone (2a) with the centralized horizonal camera setup. However, it seems, and we’ll say it again, seems, like there are three cameras now instead of two. This aligns with previous leaks, which claimed that the Phone (3a) will have an ultra-wide lens and 2x telephoto lens alongside the main camera.

    There also appears to be a slight rearrangement of the inner rear panels. But other than that, the Phone (3a) retains the same design language as the Phone (2a), as well as the three-strip Glyph Interface encircling the camera module.

    The full spec sheet for the Phone (3a) Series is expected to be revealed during the 4th March launch, along with pricing and availability.
