Nothing was alleged last week working on three new smartphonesand one of them was spotted on Geekbench and reportedly the Nothing Phone (3). That is not the case. The device in question, with the model number A059, is most likely the Nothing Phone (3a), as it has been spotted in an IMEI database next to an A059P – the “P” stands for “plus” in Nothing’s nomenclature, so you be the Nothing Phone (3a) Plus.
The third device has the model number A001, also revealed by the same IMEI database, and there’s a slim chance it could be the Nothing Phone (3), even though it’s more likely to be the CMF Phone 2.
Nothing Phone (2a) Plus
Now let’s go back to the phone (3a). According to the aforementioned benchmark, the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chipset is used for this. This would be an interesting supplier switch for the London-based company, as the Nothing Phone (2a) uses MediaTek’s Dimensity 7200 Pro instead.
On the other hand, the Telephone (2a) Plus went with the Dimensity 7350 Pro, so it looks like we can expect a small upgrade in terms of SoC for the (3a) Plus as well. Speaking of chips, the CMF Phone 2 is also rumored to come with the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3.
That’s all we know about them so far, but we can of course speculate that they will all release with Android 15 on board. The Phone (2a) was made official in March, so the launch of the successor could happen within the next 2-3 months.
If you’re wondering what the Nothing Phone (3) is, we are too. This year, Nothing decided not to release a high-end device, but did say that it would eventually launch it on the market in 2025. The Phone (3) may arrive in the second half of next year. We’ll let you know when we know more.
