But that’s not all.

Nothing’s Design Director Adam Bates also sat down with the brand’s YouTube team to discuss the design philosophy and the reasoning behind the periscope camera layout. You can watch the full discussion below.

The video titled “The SECRETS behind Phone (3a)” dives into the design process behind the Phone (3a) Series focusing on its bold new camera module. While Nothing is known for its distinctive designs, this camera setup stands out not just for its unique layout but also for how thick it is, with the module noticeably jutting out from the back.

The video highlights various design iterations including some that resemble leaked renders of the standard Phone (3a). After several refinements, Nothing has now officially revealed the rear design of the series.

“Where technical intricacy meets purity. The essence of Nothing,” the company said about the design.

The Nothing Phone (3a) Series features a large periscope telephoto camera positioned next to the main camera, giving it a distinct look. Above these, the ultra-wide camera and flash are neatly placed, all enclosed within a refined aluminium ring.

Compared to its predecessor, the Glyph LED layout has undergone slight changes offering a fresh take on Nothing’s signature lighting design. Another noticeable addition is an extra polished button below the power button, which could serve a unique function.

True to Nothing’s design language, the Phone (3a) Series maintains its transparent back with a metallic deco underneath that enhances its premium feel. The teasers also confirm that the device will be available in black and grey colour options adding a sleek and stylish touch.

The Nothing Phone (3a) Series will officially launch on March 4 and we will only get to know the complete specs and features at launch.
