New leaks have revealed the upcoming Nothing Phone 3A and 3A Pro, showing off their design and key specifications. These leaks, which include official-looking images and videos, give a detailed look at what to expect from Nothing’s latest smartphones.
At first glance, the two models appear almost identical, with only minor differences in their camera setups and slight changes to the rear camera module. Nothing continues its signature semi-transparent design and Glyph lighting system, offering the phones in black and white variants.
Official renders and key design details
The leaks started with Android Headlines, which published official renders of the two phones. Phone 3A and 3A Pro follow Nothing’s well-known aesthetic, featuring a transparent back and LED Glyph lights. However, the main distinction between the two models lies in their camera layout.
On the 3A, the three rear cameras are arranged horizontally, keeping a clean and simple look. Meanwhile, the 3A Pro takes a different approach with a more artistic half-spiral camera arrangement within the circular camera module. This small but noticeable design shift is one of the few things that set the two models apart.
Shortly after, a well-known leaker, Arsène Lupin, shared what appeared to be official promotional videos for both devices. These videos showcase the phones in motion and highlight their core specifications. The Nothing Phone 3A and 3A Pro are expected to feature the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 processor and a 6.77-inch 120Hz AMOLED display, ensuring a smooth and powerful user experience.

AI-powered features and camera differences
As seen in the leaked videos, both phones feature a new button. This button seems to activate an AI assistant and a feature called “Essential Space.” According to the video, Essential Space “organises content and generates action points,” essentially functioning as a smart AI-powered to-do list.
While both models share the same 50-megapixel main camera and 8-megapixel ultrawide camera, they differ in their additional lenses. The Nothing Phone 3A Pro includes a 3x periscope lens, while the standard 3A has a shorter 2x telephoto lens. Despite this difference, both lenses offer 50-megapixel resolution. The Pro model maintains a 50-megapixel selfie camera on the front, whereas the standard 3A drops to 32 megapixels.

Nothing has already teased the camera capabilities of these new models, releasing a comparison video pitting the 3A series against the iPhone 16 Pro Max. However, eagle-eyed viewers spotted an issue with the footage. The iPhone footage was shot using its ultrawide lens instead of the optically stabilised main camera in a segment that showcases superior video stabilisation. Nothing acknowledged the mistake in a pinned comment on YouTube, explaining that a mix-up occurred during editing.
“Hey everyone, we shot across all lenses throughout the day (sometimes cycling one-handed on a bumpy road), and in editing, a clip shot using the iPhone 16 Pro Max’s ultrawide lens was mistakenly used in the video stabilisation comparison instead of one shot using its standard lens. There was no intent to mislead; we’ll be more careful to ensure even greater scrutiny in future comparisons. Appreciate you all keeping us accountable!”
Launch details and availability
The Nothing Phone 3A and 3A Pro are set to be officially unveiled on March 4 during the Mobile World Congress (MWC) trade show in Barcelona. One big question remains: will these phones launch in the US? Last year’s Nothing Phone 2A was not officially available in the US, except through a limited developer program. It remains to be seen whether Nothing will expand availability this time around.
