FULL STORY ======================================================================Nothing has confirmed that the Phone 3a series will land on March 4 A specs leak suggests the series will include the 3a and 3a Pro We've also seen a hands-on photo of what's reportedly the 3a

After several teasers, Nothing has confirmed that the Nothing Phone 3a series will land on March 4.

Posting on X , the company shared a short video teaser, seemingly showing a phone's camera block. We have a good idea of why that's being shown too,
since a previous Nothing teaser hinted that the brand would soon be launching its first-ever phone with a telephoto camera.

This post also mentions that a 'series' of phones is coming, so you can
expect at least two but since this is the 3a series, don't expect the mainline Nothing Phone 3 to make an appearance. Phone (3a) Series. Power in perspective.4 March 10 AM GMT. pic.twitter.com/auesJycJQy January 30, 2025

We do, however, have a good idea of what devices to expect in March;
according to Android Headlines , well get the Nothing Phone 3a and the
Nothing Phone 3a Pro.

Sadly, the Nothing Phone 3a doesnt sound especially high-end, with leaker @gadget_bits adding that it will apparently have a mid-range Snapdragon 7s
Gen 3 chipset, a 6.8-inch Full HD+ AMOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, a 5,000mAh battery with 45W charging, a 50MP main camera, an 8MP ultra-wide, a 50MP telephoto with 2x optical zoom, and a 32MP front-facing camera.

Android Headlines additionally states that this phone will come in two configurations one with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, and the other with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.

We havent heard as much about the Nothing Phone 3a Pro, but Android Headlines states that it will only be available in a 12GB / 256GB configuration, and that it will be sold in a choice of black or gray shades, while the standard Nothing Phone 3a will be sold in a choice of black or white.

Weve also seen a hands-on photo of whats reportedly the Nothing Phone 3a, courtesy of @saaaanjjjuuu (via GSMArena ). Its hidden away in a case so that leaks like this wont reveal too much, but you can see that there are three rear cameras, matching the report above.

Possible telephoto camera aside, the specs weve heard so far seem reasonable but nothing special. Still, were intrigued by how the Nothing Phone 3a Pro might improve on the specs above.

Plus, if anything, this leaves us even more excited for the Nothing Phone 3. After all, if even the Nothing Phone 3a is getting a telephoto camera and generally solid specs, and the 3a Pro is presumably better than that device, the Nothing Phone 3 will likely be better still. So, while its a shame that
we might be waiting a little longer for mainline Phone 3, it will hopefully
be worth the wait. You might also like Nothing Phone 2 review: exactly what
