Ready? Let’s dive in!
Launch Date and where will you get it?
First of all, let’s talk about the launch. Nothing Phone 3a series is officially launching in India today, on 4 March 2025. The event will start at 3:30 PM IST and these phones will be available on Flipkart. Yes, Flipkart has already confirmed that it will be an exclusive partner, so you can buy it from there after the launch. The exact sale date will be announced during the event today, so stay tuned!
Price: How expensive will it be?
Now let’s talk about the price, which is a question in everyone’s heart. According to rumours and leaks, the base variant (8GB RAM + 128GB storage) of Nothing Phone 3a can start from Rs 24,999. However, if you buy the top-end variant (12GB RAM + 256GB storage), it can go up to Rs 28,999. There is a slight price increase if we compare it with the Nothing Phone 2a (Rs 23,999) and 2a Plus (Rs 27,999).
Talking about the Nothing Phone 3a Pro, it is a bit premium. The base model (8GB RAM + 128GB storage) could start from Rs 31,999 while the top variant (12GB RAM + 256GB storage) could go up to Rs 35,999. As per European leaks, the price of the 3a Pro is EUR 479 (around Rs 43,400) but it has been adjusted slightly in India according to the local market. There might be some discounts in the launch offers too, so keep your eyes open!
Design: Same Nothing Wali Vibe
Nothing’s signature transparent design is seen in both phones this time too. Phone 3a has a pill-shaped triple camera setup which is on a circular island, while the camera module of 3a Pro looks a bit different and premium. Both phones have a 6.77-inch flat LTPS AMOLED display on the front, with a centrally placed punch-hole camera. There is also Panda Glass for screen protection, which is good for durability.
One new thing that is getting highlighted is the “Essential Key”. This is a new button on the right side, which can work like the Action Button of the iPhone. Clicking on it will open “Essential Space” – an AI-powered hub where you can store screenshots, voice notes, or social media saves. This feature looks pretty cool!
Specifications: Power and Performance
Both phones have Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chipset, which is a big upgrade over the MediaTek Dimensity 7200 Pro in Nothing Phone 2a. This chipset is perfect for smooth multitasking and gaming. In memory options, the Phone 3a will come with 8GB or 12GB RAM along with 128GB or 256GB storage. Similarly, the 3a Pro will come in a single config – 12GB RAM + 256GB storage.
The battery is also solid – with a 5,000mAh capacity that supports 50W fast charging. As per rumours, it will go from 0 to 50% in 19 minutes and full charge in 56 minutes. Talking about the software, it will run on Nothing OS 3.1, which is based on Android 15. It makes for a clean and bloat-free experience!
Camera: Game of Photos
There is a lot of improvement in the camera department as well. Both phones have triple rear camera setup:
50MP primary sensor (with OIS)
8MP ultra-wide lens
50MP telephoto lens (with OIS)
The difference is in zoom – Phone 3a has 2x optical zoom and 30x digital zoom, while 3a Pro has 3x optical zoom and 60x digital zoom. For selfie lovers, Phone 3a has a 32MP front camera, and 3a Pro has a 50MP front camera. This setup looks quite promising for photography and videography.
Display: It will be fun to look at
The 6.77-inch AMOLED display is a big highlight of both phones. It comes with FHD+ resolution (387 PPI) and 120Hz refresh rate, which is perfect for smooth scrolling and gaming. Peak brightness goes up to 3,000 nits, so the screen will look clear even in sunlight. Colours will be vibrant and contrast will be top-notch too.
Colours and Availability
The Phone 3a will come in black and white colours, while the 3a Pro will be available in black and grey. Apart from Flipkart, it will also be available on Nothing’s official website and select retail stores after the launch.
