Nothing Phone (3a) Series: Camera Details and Features Confirmed Ahead of Launch
The highly anticipated Nothing Phone (3a) series is set to make its debut on March 4th, with key details now revealed ahead of the launch. The London-based brand has confirmed several important aspects, including camera improvements, design updates, and a switch to a Snapdragon processor. The series is expected to feature upgraded camera sensors compared to its predecessors, which previously had dual 50MP sensors.
While the exact model names haven’t been officially confirmed, it’s speculated that the series will include the Nothing Phone 3a and the Nothing Phone 3a Pro. Both devices will retain the signature transparent design and Glyph Interface seen in their predecessors but will introduce significant enhancements to the camera system.
Improved Camera Features on the Nothing Phone (3a) Series
The Nothing Phone (3a) series will introduce a 50MP periscope camera, offering up to 3x optical zoom, 6x in-sensor zoom, and an impressive 60x hybrid zoom. This will enable users to capture detailed images of distant subjects with greater clarity. Additionally, the periscope camera is said to provide sharp and detailed macro shots along with a 70mm portrait focal length.
Both devices in the series will feature a 50MP main sensor that promises 64% more light intake than the previous generation, offering enhanced depth and clarity in photos. The phones will also feature Nothing’s TrueLens Engine 3.0, designed to deliver realistic colors and lifelike photos and videos. The entire camera setup is expected to support Ultra HDR photo output, ensuring vibrant, high-quality images.
The front and primary rear sensors will be capable of shooting 4K videos, complete with stabilization and night mode support. The camera sensor arrangement will have a distinct L-shape, differing from the previous models, as shown in the teaser image.
Additional Features and Specifications of the Nothing Phone (3a) Series
The Nothing Phone (3a) series is teased to include an iPhone-like dedicated camera button, adding to the user-friendly features. While the third sensor is still a mystery, an earlier leak suggests it could be an 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens. The standard model is expected to come with 2x optical zoom, while the Pro variant will feature the 3x optical zoom mentioned earlier.
Both models are said to be powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chipset and come equipped with a 5,000mAh battery. In terms of display, the Phone (3a) series will boast a 6.72-inch AMOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate for smooth visuals.
Pricing is also expected to be slightly higher than last year’s models, with the standard model potentially starting at Rs 25,000, while the Pro variant could be priced at around Rs 30,000. This represents a minor price increase compared to the Phone (2a) and Phone (2a) Plus, which started at Rs 23,999 and Rs 27,999, respectively.
