While the design is largely the same as its predecessor, it suggests a significant camera upgrade.

Nothing Phone 3a Rear Design Leaked

Tipster Sanju Choudhary (@saaaanjjjuuu) posted an alleged hands-on render of the unannounced Nothing Phone 3a on X. The image shows the handset in a black shade and it appears to be covered in a hard case. The rear side of the phone is visible in the image with a horizontally aligned triple rear camera unit. This marks a noticeable shift from Nothing Phone 2a's dual rear camera module. The LED flash is placed above the module. The Glyph design remains hidden under the protective case.
