Now available for pre-order: the Nothing Phone (3a) and (3a) Pro
Nothing has upgraded the camera equipment for the new generation of devices. The new AI-supported "Essential" feature is designed to support you with helpful functions in everyday life and on the go.
Nothing presented its new mid-range smartphones at the MWC (Mobile World Congress): the basic Nothing Phone (3a) and the Nothing Phone (3a) Pro. Compared to their (2a) predecessors, the functions of these devices include improved camera features and new AI functions.
The Nothing Phone (3a) is available in black and white. You can choose between 128 and 256 GB of memory and 8 and 12 GB of RAM respectively. The Nothing Phone (3a) Pro has 256 gigabytes of main memory and twelve gigabytes of RAM. You have the choice between black or grey. You can order it from 11 March. It will be delivered from 25 March
Nothing Phone (3a)
The new standard model now offers you three camera lenses. Unlike its predecessor, it has a telephoto camera with 2x zoom on board. Like the main camera, it offers a resolution of 50 megapixels. The ultra-wide-angle camera from Sony captures a field of view of 120 degrees and has eight megapixels. The front camera has a resolution of 32 megapixels.

With a screen diagonal of 6.77 inches, the Nothing Phone (3a) is slightly larger than its predecessor with 6.7 inches. The AMOLED display achieves a peak brightness of up to 3000 nits and an adaptive refresh rate of up to 120 hertz.
The battery capacity remains unchanged at 5000 mAh. However, it now charges faster at 50 watts instead of 45 watts. The operating system "Nothing OS 3.1" is based on Android 15, while Nothing returns to Qualcomm for the processor: The "Snapdragon 7s Gen3" with integrated NPU for efficient AI calculations is used in the employees.
Nothing has also upgraded the protection class of the device: Instead of IP54, the Nothing Phone (3a) is now certified to protection class IP64, making it dustproof and splashproof.
My colleague Jan has already tested the Nothing Phone (3a).
Nothing Phone (3a) Pro
The Pro version stands out from the basic model with better camera features. The telephoto camera offers triple optical zoom and has a larger sensor (1/1.95 inch instead of 1/2.74 inch). The selfie camera has a higher resolution of 50 megapixels. It also enables 4K video recording with AI-supported image stabilisation. According to the manufacturer, "breathtaking close-ups" are possible with the macro mode.

If you order before 25 March, you will receive a set of "Nothing Ear (a)" wireless earbuds for free with your smartphone. You can find out how to do this in this promotional article:
"Essential Space"
An "Essential" button is embedded in the frame of the devices, which you can use to quickly record screenshots or voice memos. Use the button to take a photo of your car's parking space when you're out and about - the phone then displays the photo on the home screen so you can find your car more quickly. Using AI, tasks that you list out loud are organised in to-do lists. The AI creates a collage from your ideas
The "Essential Space", which AI is supposed to organise, is also integrated into the smartphone. Here you can call up the content that you generate with the "Essential" button and add more.
Optically eye-catching design
Like their predecessors, the devices stand out from other smartphones thanks to their eye-catching back design: geometric shapes give the phones a futuristic look, which is emphasised by the LEDs around the circular camera area. They show you notifications, for example. The frame is made of aluminium and the devices now have a glass back instead of plastic.
