Nothing Phone 3a Set to Debut in 2025, backed by Qualcomm chipset

British tech innovator Nothing is gearing up for a packed 2025, unveiling not just its flagship Nothing Phone 3 but also introducing three additional smartphones, as per reports. These new devices are expected to succeed the Nothing Phone 2a, Phone 2a Plus, and CMF Phone 1, bringing exciting upgrades and features for tech enthusiasts.

Nothing Smartphones in 2025

The company has officially confirmed that its next-generation flagship, the Nothing Phone 3, will make its debut in 2025. Alongside this premium device, the report hints at the launch of three more models—Nothing Phone 3a, Phone 3a Plus, and CMF Phone 2—internally codenamed "asteroids," "asteroids_plus," and "galaga," respectively.

Upgraded Chipsets and Enhanced Performance

Breaking away from MediaTek processors used in earlier models, the Nothing Phone 3a and Phone 3a Plus are expected to feature Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chipset. This shift promises improved performance, efficiency, and better gaming capabilities. Meanwhile, the CMF Phone 2 is anticipated to stick with a MediaTek chipset, catering to budget-conscious users.

Advanced Camera Capabilities

The Nothing Phone 3a lineup could mark a milestone for the brand, introducing telephoto cameras. The base model, Nothing Phone 3a, is rumored to feature a telephoto lens, while the higher-end Phone 3a Plus might come equipped with a periscopic zoom camera. These enhancements aim to deliver superior photography and videography experiences, making them ideal for content creators and photography enthusiasts.

Dual SIM and eSIM Support

Connectivity is also set to improve, with reports suggesting that both the Nothing Phone 3a and Phone 3a Plus may support eSIM technology. Users could either operate two physical SIM cards simultaneously or opt for one physical SIM and one eSIM. On the other hand, the CMF Phone 2 is expected to retain support for dual physical SIM cards only, catering to users who prefer traditional SIM options.

Nothing continues to innovate beyond hardware with software enhancements. Recently, the company revived the nostalgic Snake mobile game, reminiscent of classic Nokia phones, as part of its Community Widgets platform. This initiative allows users to access creative widgets and tools developed in collaboration with the Nothing community.

The Snake Game Widget is currently exclusive to Nothing smartphones and can be downloaded directly from the Nothing Community website, adding a fun, retro touch to modern devices.
