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.

Nothing is all set to unveil its latest smartphone series, the Nothing Phone 3a, on March 4, with the launch event scheduled to kick off at 3:30 PM IST. The tech brand is expected to release two models under the series: the standard Nothing Phone 3a and the more premium 3a Pro variant.
