Nothing Phone 3a: A new teaser from Nothing has sparked speculation about the highly anticipated Nothing Phone 3. In a recent YouTube video, the company showcased the upcoming Nothing Phone 3a series, but what grabbed the most attention was a blurred-out third device shown alongside the Phone 2a and the 3a series models. The device was actually referred to as the "Nothing Phone 3" in the video. This strongly suggests that the flagship Nothing Phone 3 could be on the horizon, possibly launching in the coming months.

The much-anticipated Nothing Phone 3a series is set to make its debut on March 4, both in India and global markets. The lineup is expected to feature the Nothing Phone 3a and the more advanced Phone 3a Pro. As excitement builds, the company has now given a sneak peek at the design of one of the upcoming models. The revealed smartphone showcases a triple-camera setup on the rear, including a periscope lens, suggesting it could be the Nothing Phone 3a Pro. The design of the standard model is likely to be unveiled in the coming days.

First Look At Nothing Phone 3a Series

In a recent post on X, Nothing shared an image of a handset from the Phone 3a series, revealing a centred, circular rear camera module, surrounded by three Glyph LEDs. The camera island houses three lenses, including a periscope shooter, along with an LED flash. The placement of the power button and volume rocker on the right side of the device was also noticeable in the shared image.

Key Features & Expected Specifications

The presence of a periscope camera strongly suggests that the revealed model is the higher-end Nothing Phone 3a Pro. Previously, the company confirmed that this device will be equipped with a 50-megapixel primary sensor featuring optical image stabilization (OIS), an 8-megapixel ultrawide lens, and a 50-megapixel Sony periscope camera with OIS. Additionally, it will come with a 50-megapixel front-facing camera for high-resolution selfies and video calls.

Leaked renders of the base Nothing Phone 3a indicate that it might sport a pill-shaped, horizontally aligned rear camera module, reminiscent of a visor. This model is also expected to house a triple-lens rear setup. Both the standard and Pro variants are rumoured to be powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chipset and run on Nothing OS 3, ensuring smooth performance and an optimized user experience.

With the official launch just days away, Nothing is steadily revealing details about its latest smartphone series, keeping tech enthusiasts on the edge of their seats. More information is likely to be shared leading up to the launch event on March 4.
