The mystery surrounding Nothing's big product launch on March 4 has finally been solved, with
Carl Pei's company revealing which product will make its debut.
In its first quarterly update of 2025, Nothing dropped a video outlining some upcoming tweaks for its OS and officially confirmed that the Nothing Phone (3a) series will launch on March 4. However, there's still no word on the rumored flagship Phone (3).

The use of the word "series" hints that multiple devices will drop on March 4, and
earlier leaks support this theory. It's looking like the Phone (3a) and a Phone (3a) Pro 5G could both make their debut. The standard Phone (3a) is expected to run on the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3, with options for 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage or 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. The Phone (3a) Pro 5G, on the other hand, will likely come in a single version, packing 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.
The Nothing Phone (3a) is
expected to sport a larger display than its predecessor, with a 6.8-inch 1080p OLED screen boasting a 120Hz refresh rate. Even more exciting is the rumored 50 MP 2x telephoto camera, with
a leaked hands-on image confirming a third camera on the back.
However, it looks like there might be a trade-off, and the ultra-wide camera could drop to 8 MP from the 50 MP found on the previous model. As for the main camera, it's likely to be a 50 MP shooter, though we don't have the full details just yet.
Along with confirming the Phone (3a) series launch in March, Nothing also teased that a Community Edition of one of its phones will return later this year. It's likely to be the Phone (3a), following
the release of the Phone (2a) Plus Community Edition last year. For those who don't know, the Community Edition is a phone co-created with fans.
On top of that, the company promises some software updates, including more widgets, font options, and changes to the Gallery app, among other things.
Now that we know Nothing will be launching its
mid-range Phone (3a) series on March 4, things are starting to fall into place. And March is shaping up to be a super busy month for the mid-range category, with Apple gearing up for its
iPhone SE 4, Google prepping the
Pixel 9a, and Samsung set to unveil its
Galaxy A56. Busy, busy, busy, right? But with Nothing's early March 4 launch, it might just beat everyone to the punch – at least when it comes to the release date.
