Nothing has unveiled the Phone (3a) Series at Mobile World Congress (MWC), enhancing its mid-range lineup with premium features. The new models boast a triple-camera system with optical zoom, a powerful Snapdragon® processor, a brighter display, and Nothing OS upgrade all in two refined designs.
Sleek & Durable Design
Both Phone (3a) and Phone (3a) Pro feature a polished glass back, improved symmetry, and Nothing’s signature transparent aesthetic. With an IP64 rating and the lowest carbon footprint in Nothing’s lineup (51.3kg CO2e), they combine durability with sustainability.
Advanced Camera System
The Phone (3a) Series introduces its most powerful cameras yet:
- Main Camera: 50MP Samsung sensor with deep-learning processing for sharper images.
- Ultra-Wide: 120° field of view with enhanced low-light capabilities.
- Front Camera: 32MP (3a) and 50MP (3a Pro) with 4K video and AI stabilization.
- Telephoto (3a): 50MP sensor with 2x optical zoom, up to 30x AI-enhanced zoom.
- Periscope (3a Pro): 50MP Sony LYTIA 600 sensor with 3x optical zoom, 6x lossless zoom, and 60x AI-enhanced zoom.
High-Speed Performance
Powered by Snapdragon® 7s Gen 3, the Phone (3a) Series is 33% faster than its predecessor, offering smoother gaming, AI enhancements, and efficient multitasking. With RAM Booster, users can access up to 20GB of RAM, and a 4,500mm² vapor chamber keeps temperatures 23% lower.
Battery & Charging
The 5000mAh battery lasts up to two days, with 50W fast charging delivering 50% power in under 20 minutes. The Snapdragon chip also cuts power consumption by 8%, extending daily use.
Immersive Display
The 6.77” Full HD+ display features a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate, 1000Hz touch sampling in Gaming Mode, and peak brightness of 3000 nits—131% brighter than the Phone (2a).
Nothing OS & Essential Space
Running on Nothing OS 3.1 (based on Android 15), the series offers a distraction-free monochrome theme, customizable lock screens, and six years of updates. Essential Space, an AI-powered content hub, introduces the Essential Key for instant access to notes, voice memos, and smart collections.
