Transparent Design and Display
Nothing continues its iconic transparent rear design with glowing Glyph Interface 2.0 lights. The Nothing Phone 3a comes with a 6.7-inch Full HD+ OLED display offering a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate, HDR10+ support, and peak brightness of 1600 nits.
The bezels are ultra-thin, and the screen-to-body ratio gives a modern, immersive experience. The device is also protected with Gorilla Glass 5 and an IP54 dust and splash resistance rating.
Phone 3a is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chipset, which provides excellent balance between performance and efficiency. It comes paired with 8GB or 12GB LPDDR5 RAM and 128GB/256GB UFS 3.1 storage.
Gaming, multitasking, and streaming all run smoothly without lag or heating issues. The chipset also ensures top-notch 5G connectivity and better battery optimization compared to previous models.
Camera Setup – Simple Yet Brilliant
The Nothing Phone 3a features a dual rear camera setup:
50MP Sony IMX890 main sensor (OIS support)
