Here's The Nothing Phone (3a) And Phone (3a) Pro In The Flesh, A Day Before Launch

The Nothing Phone (3a) and Phone (3a) Pro are on display at MWC in Barcelona, offering a detailed look at the mid-range devices. This comes a day before the company actually plans to announce the phones to the public.

Nothing has never really conformed to standards in the phone industry. The Nothing Phone (1) was something widely different, and that’s what excited people about it. The successor to that device was the same but still different in its own internal way. Now, the company is straying from the path even more with the mid-range Nothing Phone (3a) and Phone (3a) Pro, both of which offer wild designs.

It’s widely known that Nothing is planning on launching the two phones on March 4, during MWC. Today, it looks like the two devices are on display on the show floor. The leaks up to this point are proven accurate as the enclosed models offer a more lively look.

The two devices don’t necessarily look like variations of the same phone. The Nothing Phone (3a) brings a Pixel-like camera bar with a red accent square within the rear see-through panel. The Nothing Phone (3a) Pro offers up a unique camera array that seems to offer no rhyme or reason to the placement of the cameras. The harsh lighting at the Nothing booth at MWC drowns out the colors, but the Pro model is supposed to be a dull gray, which looks great. The company will also seemingly offer a black variant of the Pro edition.

The Phone (3a) has its own flair, with some really interesting side button choices. The volume rocker and power button are black, as is the dedicated camera button on the right side of the phone.

Nothing hasn’t been chosen to showcase the LED panel on the back of the devices just yet, but they’re there. Both phones will come with Glyph lighting that can be customized in-depth.
