Nothing Phone 3 and 2a launch date tipped with new budget

Nothing is supposed to be working on a budget model for its Phone 2 called the Phone 2a, but newer reports also shelter light on the company’s next-in-line premium offering, the Nothing Phone 3.

A tipster, sharing information on X (previously known as Twitter), revealed that the Phone 2a is scheduled to make its debut in the first quarter of this year. This suggests that fans can anticipate an official announcement sometime between January and March 2024, so the wait won’t be too lengthy.

However, that’s not all as Nothing is also planning to launch yet another phone later this year in July. This would be none other than the Nothing Phone 3, which is expected to be more premium than its predecessors.

The company’s affordable sub-brand CMF is gearing up for an upcoming announcement.

According to the tipster, the budget brand is in the process of developing new wireless earbuds, potentially named CMF Nothing Buds 2 Pro, although the name hasn’t been officially confirmed yet.

These truly wireless earbuds are expected to follow in the footsteps of CMF’s Buds Pro, and there’s speculation that they might become a significant part of the CMF By Nothing brand.

According to previous leaks surrounding the Nothing Phone 2a, it is going to come with a 6.7-inch AMOLED screen with 1080p resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. There will be a 50MP Samsung S5KGN9 main sensor on the back sized at 1/1.5 inches with a 1.0 micron pixel size.

The ultrawide camera should be a 50MP Samsung S5KJN1 sensor measuring 1/2.76 inches with 0.64 micron pixel size. The selfie camera is speculated to be a 32MP Sony IMX615 sensor.
