Tech company Nothing has big plans for 2025, as a leaked email already revealed. But though we knew a new phone announcement was imminent, today’s model is a surprise. Instead of the expected Phone (3), it’s the Phone (3a) series. Here’s why this makes sense.

Nothing is launching a new device, the Phone 3a Series, on March 4. That's a year after the London-based company launched the Phone 2a, which is a budget version of the brand's Phone 2 model released in 2023.

The Nothing Phone (3a), the company's next mid-ranger, is set to launch on March 4. And true to Carl Pei's company style, fresh teasers are dropping, giving us glimpses of what to expect.
