Nothing is gearing up to launch the Phone (3a) series including two models on March 4. While the brand has managed to keep most things under wraps, fresh leaks have spilt the details about the cameras on both models. The lineup will feature two devices—the Nothing Phone (3a) and the Nothing Phone (3a) Pro. While they’ll share most of the same hardware, the key difference will be their camera setups. Here’s what we know so far.

Nothing Phone (3a) and (3a) Pro – Key Specs (Expected)

Both phones are expected to come with:

• Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 processor
• 72-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate
• IP64 rating for dust and splash resistance
• 5,000 mAh battery

As for the cameras, both models will have a 50 MP main sensor and an 8 MP ultrawide lens, staying in line with Nothing’s previous devices.

Nothing Phone (3a) and (3a) Pro – Key Camera Differences

The biggest change this time is a dedicated telephoto lens, which will be a first for a Nothing phone. However, there is a difference in how the telephoto lens is used in the two models.

According to the reports, the Phone (3a) is said to feature a 2x telephoto camera. Meanwhile, the Phone (3a) Pro is expected to come with a more advanced 3x optical zoom using Sony’s Lytia LYT-600 sensor (a 1/1.95-inch type sensor that also appeared in the Realme 13 Pro+).

This could give the Pro model an edge in zoom shots and portrait photography.

In a cryptic post on X (formerly Twitter), the company shared images of dots arranged in two different patterns, one in a horizontal line and another in an L-shaped setup.

It’s unclear which design belongs to which model, but it suggests the two phones won’t look identical.

Nothing Phone (3a) and (3a) Pro – Expected Pricing in India

Rumours suggest the Nothing Phone (3a) could start at INR 25,000 (approx $288), while the Phone (3a) Pro might be priced at INR 30,000 (approx $345).

Since the launch is just weeks away, we won’t have to wait long to see how accurate these leaks are.
