Nothing Phone 3a Specifications (Expected)

X user Gadget Bits (@gadget_bits) has shared alleged specifications of Nothing Phone 3a. As per the post, the phone will launch with a 6.8-inch full-HD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. The upcoming Nothing phone with code number A059 is said to run on a Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chipset, instead of a MediaTek chipset like the Phone 2a.

The Nothing Phone 3a is tipped to arrive with Nothing OS 3.1 based on Android 15 and the company's trademark Glyph interface. It could feature a triple rear camera setup comprising a 50-megapixel main sensor, a 50-megapixel telephoto sensor with 2x optical zoom, and an 8-megapixel ultra wide-angle sensor. On the front, the handset may boast a 32-megapixel selfie shooter.
