Nothing Phone (3a) and Nothing Phone (3a) Plus to have some intriguing hardware changes | Infinium-tech

Both the Nothing Phone (2A) and Nothing Phone (2A) Plus are powered by MediaTek chipsets, but their successors are already rumored to switch to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7S Gen 3.

Now a new report confirms the move based on clues found inside the latest Nothing OS 3.0 build running on top of Android 15. The Nothing Phone (3A)’s codename is “Asteroids”, while the Nothing Phone (3A) Plus’ codename is, appropriately, “Asteroids_Plus”.

The CMF Phone 2 is also coming in 2025 and is codenamed “Galaga”. It will apparently continue to use MediaTek chips.

Interestingly, the Nothing Phone (3A) may come with a telephoto camera, while the Nothing Phone (3A) Plus may take things up a notch with a periscope zoom camera. If it succeeds, it will be the first nothing phone with a periscope telephoto camera. These will be the first Nothing phones with any kind of dedicated zoom camera, as all previous Nothing handsets came with a dual setup consisting of a main camera and an ultrawide.

Moving forward, the Phone (3a) and Phone (3a) Plus will also reportedly have eSIM support, which is a first for the brand. Chances are you’ll get to use either a physical SIM and an eSIM or two physical SIMs. The lower-end CMF Phone 2 will not have eSIM support.
