As we get closer to the launch of the Nothing Phone (3a) and (3a) Pro, more details are surfacing about what to expect. From what we’ve seen so far, both smartphones are going to be very interesting, especially the Phone (3a) Pro. Here’s everything you can expect from the Phone (3a) and (3a) Pro, from specs to the price. Let’s get started.
Thanks to multiple leaks and promo videos, we have seen the complete design details of both Phone (3a) models. From the renders, it’s clear that the company is sticking to its iconic transparent aesthetic, with a fresh and unique design.
The Phone (3a) follows a similar design to that of the Phone (2a), but adding a third camera into the horizontal camera module. The design is transparent and the triple glyph LEDs continue to populate around the camera island.
Nothing Phone (3a) and (3a) Pro Specifications
The Nothing Phone (3a) and (3a) Pro will both be powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3, with RAM and storage configurations varying between models. The key difference lies in the cameras—both sport a 50 MP main sensor and an 8 MP ultra-wide sensor, but the Pro model has a 50 MP periscope lens with 3X optical zoom, while the standard version gets a 2X optical zoom.
