The brand made the announcement on Tuesday, March 4, at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona.
The Phone (3a) features a transparent back panel that shines the spotlight on the brand’s signature Glyph Interface. A pill-shaped triple-camera setup completes the hardware elements on the back.
Meanwhile, the Pro model adopts an unusual design with a large circular camera island, housing a periscope zoom lens that offers 3x optical zoom. The Phone (3a) Pro is priced starting at ₹27,999 and includes an 8GB RAM and 256GB storage variant exclusive to India.

The Phone (3a) is equipped with a 50MP telephoto lens that supports 2x optical zoom and 4x lossless in-sensor zoom, while the Phone (3a) Pro boasts a 50MP periscope lens with enhanced 3x optical zoom and 6x lossless in-sensor zoom.
Both smartphones feature a 50MP primary wide-angle camera with optical image stabilisation (OIS) and an 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens. For selfies, the Phone (3a) has a 32MP front camera, while the Pro model features a 50MP front-facing camera capable of 4K 30fps video recording.
These are also the first smartphones from Nothing to support eSIM technology.
The Phone (3a) series introduces a feature called Essential Space, accessible via a dedicated physical key. This AI-driven hub allows users to capture thoughts through notes, screenshots, and images, which are then automatically processed and catalogued for easy access, with relevant information added to tasks or reminders. Currently in early access, this feature will be available exclusively to Phone (3a) series users.
Both models are powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chipset, paired with a minimum of 8GB LPDDR4x RAM and 128GB of UFS 2.2 storage. They run on Nothing OS 3.1, based on Android 15, and are expected to receive three major OS upgrades. A robust 5,000mAh battery with 50W fast charging powers both devices, although the charger is sold separately.
