The innovative tech brand Nothing, founded by Carl Pei, is preparing to unveil its latest smartphone line in March 2025. The company has officially announced that the Nothing Phone 3a series will debut on March 4, 2025. This new lineup is expected to consist of two distinct models: the Nothing Phone 3a and the Nothing Phone 3a Pro. Notably, it seems that the brand will bypass the offering of a “Plus” variant this time, making many speculate whether the Phone 3a Pro will serve as a successor to the previous Nothing Phone 2a Plus, or if the Plus lineup will continue down a different path. Let’s delve into what we can anticipate from the Nothing Phone 3a.

Anticipated Features and Specifications of the Nothing Phone 3a

The Nothing Phone 3a is set to include an innovative button, akin to the functionality of Apple’s action button. Additionally, the smartphone is believed to feature a sizeable 6.8-inch Full HD+ AMOLED display, promising a smooth visual experience enhanced by a 120Hz refresh rate.

This generation is marked by a significant transition to Qualcomm chipsets, departing from MediaTek’s Dimensity line that powered the previous models. CEO Carl Pei has confirmed that the new processor integrated within the Phone 3a series is expected to deliver a boost of up to 25 percent in CPU performance, alongside a 72 percent improvement in Neural Processing Unit (NPU) capabilities, in comparison to the Phone 2a Plus. While the specific chipset remains unconfirmed, current leaks suggest that the device may utilize the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3. User experience will be enhanced with NothingOS 3.1, which is based on Android 15, beautifully complemented by the brand’s signature Glyph Interface.
