Nothing Phone (3a) Series To Launch On March 4 In India, Company Confirms

London-headquartered Nothing on Thursday confirmed a launch event scheduled for March 4, during which the company is likely to introduce new smartphone models. The handset maker confirmed to Acko Byte that the Nothing Phone (3a) Series will be launched on 4 March at 3:30 PM IST. 

Prospective buyers interested in being notified about the upcoming launch can sign up on e-commerce site Flipkart.

“For the (a) Series we have a different set of users. When people buy a smartphone, some are looking for the greatest specs, they want the latest innovations and processors. Yet there are some other users that are equally excited about tech but are happy with just a great user experience - that’s who the (a) Series is for. We’re really focused on the core user needs in terms of camera, screen, processor, and of course design," Nothing’s Co-founder Akis Evangelidis, said in a statement.

Also, as per tipster Yogesh Brar, e-commerce site Flipkart has confirmed the launch of Nothing Phone (3a). 

"Flipkart just confirmed the launch of the Nothing Phone 3a series on March 4th. Triple cameras are visible with an updated Glyph," Brar posted on X, formerly Twitter.

Meanwhile, according to recent report in Android Headlines, Nothing plans to release two new devices: the Nothing Phone 3a and Nothing Phone 3a Pro. 

The company has opted to use the "Pro" designation rather than the previously rumoured "Plus" nomenclature.

Nothing Phone (3a) Storage, Configuration Options

The Nothing Phone (3a) will be available in two configurations, offering either 8GB RAM with 128GB storage capacity or a premium 12GB RAM option featuring 256GB storage. The Nothing Phone 3a Pro will be offered exclusively in a single configuration, combining 12GB of RAM with 256GB of storage. Both devices will be available in black, with the standard 3a offering a white option and the Pro model featuring an exclusive grey finish.

According to leaks and rumours, the device is expected to incorporate a Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 processor paired with a 6.8-inch FHD+ AMOLED display featuring 120Hz refresh capability. The device will run Nothing OS 2.1, built on Android 15, and include a 5,000mAh battery supporting 45W wired charging. The brand's distinctive Glyph lighting system will also be present.

The device is reported to feature an advanced imaging system comprising a 50-megapixel primary sensor, complemented by an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens and a 50-megapixel telephoto camera with 2x optical zoom capability -- a first for Nothing. For self-portraits, the phone will include a 32-megapixel front-facing camera.

Recently surfaced images show the Nothing Phone (3a) featuring a horizontal triple-camera arrangement with an upper-positioned flash.
