February 19, 2025 – Nothing is gearing up for the highly anticipated launch of its Nothing Phone (3a) series, set to debut on March 4th. The lineup is expected to include two models – the Nothing Phone (3a) and Nothing Phone (3a) Pro. While Nothing has already teased key camera details, a new Geekbench listing has surfaced, potentially revealing crucial specifications of the Nothing Phone (3a) Pro.
Nothing Phone (3a) Pro Geekbench Listing: Key Details
A Nothing smartphone, bearing the model number A059P, has been spotted on Geekbench, as per a report by 91mobiles.
✔ Model Number Clue – The ‘P’ in A059P suggests that this could be the Nothing Phone (3a) Pro, as its standard variant Nothing Phone (3a) carries the model number A059, according to TDRA certification.
✔ Processor Details – The Geekbench listing confirms an octa-core processor with a maximum clock speed of 2.50GHz. Additionally, the GPU is listed as Adreno 810, which strongly indicates the presence of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chipset.
✔ Performance Benchmarks – The Nothing Phone (3a) Pro secured:
- 1,181 points in the single-core test
- 3,302 points in the multi-core test
✔ RAM and Software – The listing also confirms:
- 12GB of RAM
- Android 15 out-of-the-box
With Nothing already confirming that the Phone (3a) series will be powered by Snapdragon processors, this latest development further reinforces earlier leaks suggesting the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chipset will be at the core of the new devices.
Nothing Phone (3a) Series: What We Know So Far
Ahead of the launch, Nothing has officially teased several camera and performance features of the Phone (3a) series. Here’s what we know:
Powerful Camera System with Periscope Zoom
- 50MP Periscope Camera: Features 3x optical zoom, 6x in-sensor zoom, and 60x hybrid zoom.
- Enhanced Macro Photography: Nothing claims sharp and detailed close-up shots.
- 70mm Portrait Focal Length: Designed for professional-grade portrait shots.
- 50MP Primary Sensor: Captures 64% more light than the Nothing Phone (2a), resulting in better depth and clarity.
- Ultra HDR Support: Enables high dynamic range imaging for superior detail in photos.
- TrueLens Engine 3.0: Aims to deliver realistic colors and lifelike photography.
- 4K Video Recording: Both front and rear cameras support stabilised 4K recording with Night Mode.
Other Expected Features
- iPhone-Inspired Action Button: Teased by Nothing, possibly for quick access to camera controls or other shortcuts.
- Ultra-Smooth Performance: With Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 and 12GB RAM, users can expect a fluid and lag-free experience.
- Optimised Battery Efficiency: Nothing’s clean Android 15 UI should enhance power management.
Nothing Phone (3a) Series: Global and India Launch Confirmed
Nothing has officially confirmed that the Phone (3a) series will launch both globally and in India. Given that its predecessor, the Nothing Phone (2a) and 2a Plus, launched in India in 2024 starting under ₹25,000, the Nothing Phone (3a) lineup is expected to be competitively priced in the mid-range segment.
Final Thoughts: A Strong Contender in the Mid-Range Flagship Segment
With its Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 processor, 12GB RAM, advanced periscope camera, and Android 15, the Nothing Phone (3a) Pro is shaping up to be a powerful mid-range device with flagship-like capabilities. The strong benchmark scores, combined with Nothing’s design philosophy and clean UI, indicate that the company is ready to take on established players in the affordable flagship space.
With just a few weeks until the official launch on March 4th, more leaks and official announcements are expected. Stay tuned for the latest updates on Nothing’s next big release.
