Nothing Phone (3a) series and CMF Phone (2) leak
According to a report spotted by Android Authority, information about the Nothing Phone (3a), Phone (3a) Plus, and CMF Phone (2) was uncovered in builds of the Android 15-based Nothing OS 3.0.
Internally, the Nothing Phone (3a) is codenamed “asteroids,” while the Nothing Phone (3a) Plus goes by “asteroids_plus.” The CMF Phone (2), part of Nothing’s more affordable CMF sub-brand, is referred to as “galaga.”
The leak suggests that the Nothing Phone (3a) will include a telephoto camera, while the Phone (3a) Plus is expected to feature a periscope zoom lens. If true, this would make the Nothing Phone (3a) series the first from the brand to include telephoto capabilities, marking a significant upgrade in camera technology.
Another notable development is the introduction of eSIM support for the Nothing Phone (3a) and Phone (3a) Plus, a first for the company. These devices may offer dual-SIM configurations, with the choice of two physical nano-SIM slots or a combination of one eSIM and one nano-SIM.
Under the hood, the Nothing Phone (3a) and Phone (3a) Plus will be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 processor. Meanwhile, the CMF Phone (2) will feature a MediaTek chipset. The Nothing Phone (3a) series and CMF Phone (2) are anticipated to launch sometime in 2025, with more details likely to surface closer to the official announcements.
