Nothing Phone (3a) and (3a) Pro Previewed at MWC 2025

Nothing offered a sneak peek of its upcoming Phone (3a) and Phone (3a) Pro at Qualcomm's MWC 2025 booth, confirming key design elements and specifications. The official launch is scheduled for tomorrow at 10 AM GMT.

Key Features and Highlights

  • Powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chipset, focusing on efficient performance and power management.
  • Promising significant camera improvements, potentially featuring a more advanced setup in the (3a) Pro model.
  • Expected to maintain Nothing's signature minimalist design, possibly incorporating new materials or finishes.
  • Positioned as a more affordable alternative to Nothing's flagship phones.

While full specifications are yet to be revealed, the Phone (3a) series aims to strike a balance between performance and price. The inclusion of the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chip aligns with this goal, offering a mid-range powerhouse. This echoes the strategy seen with other mid-range devices like the Samsung Galaxy A56.

The emphasis on camera upgrades suggests a focus on enhancing the photography experience. This could involve improvements to sensor technology, image processing software, or both. The success of the Vivo X200 Ultra's camera, driven by its partnership with Fujifilm, demonstrates the potential of such enhancements.

The design of the Phone (3a) and (3a) Pro remains largely under wraps, but it's anticipated to retain Nothing's distinctive aesthetic. This minimalist approach contrasts with the more complex designs seen in some foldable phones, such as the Samsung Project Moohan XR headset.
