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.

In 2025, the company is set to expand its lineup with four new devices — the Nothing Phone (3a), Phone (3a) Pro, and the flagship Phone (3). Each of these phones caters to a different segment, but the core philosophy of minimalism and transparency will likely remain unchanged. Here’s what we know so far.
