About a month left before the Nothing Phone (3a) series will be launched. Little by little, Nothing has started to tease the specifications of the device. Most recently, the construction materials have been teased.
Nothing Phone (3a) is seen to use construction materials that use the code name PC + 20GF and also V..01. Not much has been revealed about what these construction materials are, other than that it refers to a combination of polycarbonate + 20% glass fiber and a combination with a type of vinyl material. This material is said to be more durable like the construction materials of the Motorola G series.
We know that the design of Nothing Phone (3a) may still resemble the Phone (2a) and (2a) Plus. It will use a transparent back panel, perhaps this will be made of PC + 20GF. Then the camera bump has been replaced with a small camera bar like the Google Pixel which will accommodate a 50+50+8 Megapixel camera. Additional physical buttons will also be included.
The vinyl material may be an element for the inner surface of the back panel, like the fake components or 3D aesthetic components often used on the Nothing Phone. It may also be a material for the frame of the device, to make it more durable and have a good grip.
Let's all look forward to the arrival of the Nothing Phone (3a) series which is expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen chip and launched at MWC Barcelona 2025.
