With model number A059, the certification suggests the device is nearing its production-ready stage.
Nothing Phone 3a Pro Also in the Works?
Leaks indicate a potential Nothing Phone 3a Pro, which would mark a shift from Nothing’s usual “Plus” branding.
While details remain scarce, the Pro variant could introduce improved hardware, premium features, and possibly a more powerful chipset.
Nothing Phone 3a: Expected Specs & Features
With certification details now public, here’s what’s expected from the Nothing Phone 3a:
| Feature | Nothing Phone 3a (Expected) |
|---|---|
| Display | 6.8-inch FHD+ AMOLED, 120Hz |
| Processor | Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 |
| Battery | 5,000mAh, 45W wired charging |
| Cameras | First triple-camera setup in a Nothing phone, likely with a telephoto lens |
| Software | Android 14 with Nothing OS 3.0 |
A Dedicated Camera Button?
One of the more exciting leaks hints at a physical camera button, a first for a Nothing phone.
This would provide quick access to the camera app and act as a shutter button, making it a compelling choice for photography enthusiasts.
Nothing Phone 3a vs. Nothing Phone 2a: What’s the Difference?
The Nothing Phone 2a launched in March 2024 as a budget-friendly option, featuring a Dimensity 7200 Pro chipset, dual cameras, and a 6.7-inch AMOLED display. Here’s how it stacks up against the upcoming Phone 3a:
| Feature | Nothing Phone 3a (Expected) | Nothing Phone 2a |
|---|---|---|
| Display | 6.8-inch FHD+ AMOLED, 120Hz | 6.7-inch AMOLED, 120Hz, HDR10+ |
| Processor | Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 | Dimensity 7200 Pro |
| Cameras | Triple-lens setup (includes telephoto) | Dual 50MP (wide + ultrawide) |
| Battery | 5,000mAh, 45W wired charging | 5,000mAh, 45W wired charging |
| Build | Unknown, likely glass back | Plastic frame, Gorilla Glass 5 front |
| Software | Android 14 with Nothing OS 3.0 | Android 14 with Nothing OS 3.0 |
If the Nothing Phone 3a retains the Glyph Interface and premium design of its predecessors while adding a telephoto camera and a dedicated shutter button, it could be a major step up from the Phone 2a.
What to Expect on March 4
The Nothing Phone 3a is officially set to launch on March 4, and it’s expected to go head-to-head with mid-range competitors like the Samsung Galaxy A-series and Google Pixel A-series phones.
Pricing and regional availability remain unknown for now, but more leaks are expected before launch.
