There will be two new smartphones at Nothing’s March 4 event, according to a report by Android Headlines. While no source is provided, the information falls somewhat in line with what we’d already heard, apart from a big change in the way Nothing names its phones. Apparently, the Nothing Phone 3a will be joined by a Nothing Phone 3a Pro.
Previously, Nothing named the larger of its two A-series phones the Nothing Phone 2a Plus, but this may have been dropped for the new range. The report also seems to indicate it will only launch these two devices, making us wonder what has happened to the regular Nothing Phone 3. The A-series phones are the more budget-friendly devices in its range, making their appearance before the flagship Phone 3 an unusual strategy.
Following the publication of the story by Android Headlines, Nothing released its quarterly update through a YouTube video, in which it confirmed the “Phone 3a series” would launch on March 4. The team also confirmed it will have a “major upgrade on the camera” along with changes to the materials used in an upgraded design. Stay to the end of the video, and Nothing co-founder and head of marketing Akis Evangelidis cleared up speculation about the Phone 3 by saying it will be coming this year, and called it a “milestone” for the company. All this means the flagship Phone 3 will not be at the March 4 event.
Returning to the speculation in the report, it claims there will be two colors for each phone available. The Phone 3a will come in black and white, while the 3a Pro will come in black and grey, which corresponds to colors Nothing has used in the past. The Phone 3a Pro will have 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage space, as will the Phone 3a, but the standard model will also be available with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage space. It’s possible Nothing won’t sell the basic model globally, and restrict it to certain markets.
Elsewhere, an image of what’s said to be the back of the Nothing Phone 3a has leaked. The device is hidden inside a protective plastic case, the type many manufacturers use to disguise the true design of an unreleased device, but it exposes the cameras at the top of the phone. The design matches expectations the phone will have a third telephoto camera on the back, joining the main and wide-angle camera. The layout also aligns with the teaser Nothing posted to social media, showing a vertically stacked triple-camera setup.
We’ll find out how accurate these details about the new Nothing A-series phones are on March 4, but we’re going to have to wait to see the Phone 3.

The OnePlus Watch 3 might get this crucial feature before the Apple Watch
Despite launching the OnePlus 13 and OnePlus 13R last week, OnePlus and parent company Oppo are already gearing up for another release in February. At this event, OnePlus could launch the OnePlus Open 2 and the OnePlus Watch 3. While unofficial leaks about these devices are ramapnt, a recent official teaser indicates the OnePlus Watch 3 might also get blood pressure monitoring.
The teaser comes from Zhou Yibao, a product manager at OnePlus’ parent company, Oppo. In a post on Chinese social media site Weibo, Yibao shared a look at the upcoming Oppo Watch X2, which is highly likely to be rebranded as the OnePlus Watch 3. While the post explicitly mentions that the Watch X2 will detect unusual fluctuations in blood pressure, an image attached to the post shows blood pressure trends over a fortnight, with a duration that indicates the risk of hypertension.

I found two of the most ridiculous Android phones I’ve ever seen at CES 2025
One of my favorite things about big trade shows like CES is all the weird stuff you can come across. It’s cool to see big announcements from well-known brands, but it’s sometimes more fun to find something utterly bizarre that you weren’t expecting. That’s precisely what happened when I visited Oukitel’s booth at CES 2025.
Oukitel isn’t a household name in the U.S., though the 18-year-old company has a history of creating some of the weirdest and wackiest Android phones on the market. I saw two of them at this year’s CES, both of which are hilariously over-the-top.
