Reportedly, the IMEI database revealed the Nothing Phone 3a and Phone 3a Plus will be powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 SoC instead of a MediaTek SoC like its predecessor. It was showcased that the smartphone achieved 1119 points in single-core and 3128 points in multi-core tests.

Apart from performance, the Phone 3a Phone 3a Plus is also likely to get telephoto or periscope zoom lenses, making it the first “a” series smartphone to have a dedicated zoom lens. However, the predecessor was launched with a dual camera setup consisting of a main and an ultrawide camera. Therefore, if it plans to include a zoom lens, then we may see a triple camera setup, offering a new design. Alongside these major upgrades, the Nothing Phona 3a and Phone 3a Plus are expected to get eSIM support and a physical nano-SIM, providing users with greater flexibility.
