Nothing teases Phone (3a) ahead of launch

Like its predecessor, Phone (3a) is expected to feature a unique see-through design language.

Nothing Inc. earlier this week announced to launch a new product on March 4 during the Mobile World Congress (MWC) event (March 3-6) in Barcelona.

But, there was no word on what the new device will be. It was first rumoured that the company may unveil the premium Phone 3.

Now, the Carl Pei-led firm has confirmed to introduce the Phone (3a) a mid-range Android-powered mobile in the first week of March.

The latest teaser (shown below) reveals the LED-laced camera module of the upcoming device. Like its predecessor, it is expected to feature a unique see-through design language.

It is reported that the company plans to bring Phone (3a) with Qualcomm's more reliable Snapdragon silicon instead of the MediaTek chipset, which was used in the predecessor.

The upcoming device will also come with a bigger 6.88-inch full HD display with 120Hz refresh rate and a triple-camera module, compared to dual sensors in the Phone (2a) series. It will feature a 5,000mAh battery and will be offered in two variants-- 8GB RAM + 128GB storage and 12GB RAM + 256GB storage.

Nothing Inc. has revealed that the company has surpassed $1 billion in lifetime revenue since its founding in October 2020, that's just only four years ago.

“Over half of that revenue has come just in the last year in 2024. And what’s most pleasing, is that’s exactly what we intended to do. We entered 2024 with the aim to build on the successes of Phone (2) and Ear (2), with Phone (2a), Phone (2a) Plus and CMF Phone 1. We brought those products to market and started to build scale around the business. That obviously gives us amazing top line revenue growth. It’s super exciting to have achieved that and we’re excited to see what we can achieve in 2025,” noted Tim Holbrow, Chief Financial Officer, Nothing Inc.

Like the previous Nothing's phone launches, the company, in a bid to raise curiosity among fans, will regularly reveal new features of the device until the launch.
