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 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.

Today, Nothing published its first Quarterly Update video for 2025. In that video, Co-founder Akis Evangelidis revealed that the firm’s next product launch will be for the Phone 3a. Unfortunately, that’s all they shared, so we didn’t get any information on the specs or peeks at the handset’s design.
