Nothing Phone (3a) and (3a) Pro UK release date and how to pre-order today
You can count on the innovators at Nothing to come up with a spectacular new release. Here's everything we know about the Nothing Phone (3a).
The last phone Nothing fans were treated to was the Nothing Phone (2a) Plus Community Edition: the product of the Nothing community working directly with the Nothing team, in October. Now, just over four months later, the Nothing Phone (3a) has been announced.
This brand-new smartphone from the minds of Nothing will feature significant camera updates, in comparison to its predecessor the Nothing Phone (2a). For example, we've seen the Nothing Phone (3a) come with a 50MP periscope lens offering 3x optical zoom, 6x in-sensor zoom, and 60x ultra zoom.
The Nothing Phone (3a) marks the first time a Nothing smartphone has included both a triple camera system and a periscope model.
Speaking about the update, Nothing’s co-founder Akis Evangelidis shared: "For the (a) Series we have a different set of users. When people buy a smartphone some are looking for the greatest specs, they want the latest innovations and processors. Yet there are some other users that are equally excited about tech, but are happy with just a great user experience — that’s who the (a) Series is for. We’re really focused on the core user needs in terms of camera, screen, processor, and of course design".
The company has also announced the Nothing Phone (3a) Pro, which will be available for pre-order from today.
Let's check it out.

What does the new Nothing Phone (3a) design look like?
There's an interesting video on the Nothing YouTube channel which talks you through the behind-the-scenes designing process with the Nothing designers. From the initial ideas to sketches to mark-ups, you can get a glimpse into the mind of Nothing.
In the video, we learn that the Nothing team wanted to make the Nothing Phone (3a) more 'grown up' as the brand continues to grow.
The Nothing Phone (3a) comes with the three distinct segments with the glyphs as usual. It boasts a 6.77-inch 120Hz AMOLED display which is protected by Panda Glass, and it offers a peak brightness of 3,000 nits. The back of the smartphone is glass, too, which means you can see Nothing's signature interface.
In comparison to its predecessor, the Nothing Phone (3a) has sharper corners which, although it might seem like a small tweak, is visually very different as the series of smartphones usually look quite similar. Plus, instead of the sensor sitting in a line, it's on the side, is thicker, and sits on top of the PCB.
You might have also noticed that Nothing has teased a mysterious new button...
What does the Nothing Phone (3a) new button do?
Nothing has confirmed the Nothing Phone (3a) features a new button with several functionalities, not too similar to the Apple iPhone's Action Button feature.
Unlike the switch on the back of the Nothing Phone (2a), the new Nothing Phone (3a) button will be the phone's fourth button, and on the right-hand-side.

What are the Nothing Phone (3a) specifications?
The biggest change in the Nothing Phone (3a) is that it comes with a Snapdragon chipset instead of the Nothing Phone (2a)'s MediaTek Dimensity. This new chipset is the perfect match for the Nothing Phone (3a) for its elite performance.
This brand-new smartphone is available in two variants: 8GB RAM with 128GB storage and 12GB RAM with 256GB storage. The smartphone also comes with 5,000mAh battery for long-lasting performance.
One of the things we know our readers want to know about the most when it comes to a new smartphone is the camera, so we've broken down everything we know about the Nothing Phone (3a) camera.

What is the Nothing Phone (3a) camera like?
The Nothing Phone (3a) has had a significant camera upgrade in comparison to its predecessor, the Nothing Phone (2a).
With a 50MP periscope lens offering 3x optical zoom, 6x in-sensor zoom, and 60x ultra zoom, you can rest assured that the Nothing Phone (3a) will deliver crisp and detailed photos in any environment. The 50MP main sensor captures 64% more light at a pixel level, which means it has a 300% greater full well capacity in comparison to the Nothing Phone (2a), and that it enables more depth and clarity.
Nothing's TrueLens Engine 3.0 utilises its hardware to produce professional-grade photography through a combination of AI tone mapping and scene detection.
All four sensors support Ultra HDR photo output, and the main and front support 4K video recording with stable footage and night enhancement.
