The Nothing Phone 3a series, including Phone 3a and Phone 3a Pro, is set to go on its first sale today. The sale will go live at 12PM, exclusively for Flipkart. While the starting price stands at Rs 24,999 for the base variant, the e-commerce website is offering several discounts to lower this price at Rs 19,999. It is worth noting that this price is only available for the first day. Inside the two phones, Nothing has upgraded to the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chipset, moving away from the MediaTek Dimensity processor used in the Phone 2a. Despite this internal change, the overall design language remains consistent, staying true to Nothing’s industrial and tech-driven aesthetic, complemented by strategically placed LED lights. Before we delve deeper into the specs, let's take a look at the pricing.

Nothing Phone 3a series: Key specs and features

The Nothing Phone 3a series introduces several key upgrades while staying true to the brand’s signature aesthetic. Both the Phone 3a and Phone 3a Pro feature a 6.77-inch OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, making them the largest Nothing phones to date. Powering these devices is the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chipset, running on Nothing OS 3.1, based on Android 15.

In terms of design, the series retains Nothing’s signature faux-transparent back panel, but the camera layout has been revamped. The triple-camera system is now positioned horizontally, with an LED flash placed above. Photography is a major focus, with the Nothing Phone 3a featuring a 50-megapixel primary sensor, a 50-megapixel telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom (Nothing’s first-ever telephoto camera), and an 8-megapixel ultra-wide camera. The Phone 3a Pro builds on this by swapping the telephoto lens for a 50-megapixel periscope camera with 3x optical zoom, enhancing long-range photography.
