Nothing Phone 3a Community Edition Debuts in India: Limited Units, Big Specs

Key Highlights

  • Nothing Phone 3a Community Edition will have 1,000 units worldwide; India to get exclusive Bengaluru drop
  • 6.77-inch AMOLED display with 3,000 nits peak brightness
  • Powered by Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 and Nothing OS 3.5 (Android 15)
  • Launch price ₹28,999; event on December 13

Tech startup Nothing has launched the much-awaited Phone 3a Community Edition on December 9, 2025. This launch stands out because it’s built through a global co-creation movement where creators shaped every aspect — from hardware design to marketing visuals.

Unlike regular smartphone launches, this one is exceptionally rare. Only 1,000 units exist worldwide. Moreover, India will host a special drop event in Bengaluru on December 13, making the release even more exclusive.

Creators Behind the Innovation

Nothing’s announcement followed a creative contest that attracted more than 700 submissions globally. The company then selected four winners for different categories.

  • Emre Kayganacl created the hardware design.
  • Ambrogio Tacconi and Louis Aymond designed the accessories.
  • Jad Zock crafted the lock screen clock and wallpapers.
  • Sushruta Sarkar developed the marketing campaign.

In addition, Nothing awarded a £1,000 cash prize to each winner to support their future projects. Consequently, this phone truly reflects a community’s creative power rather than one company’s idea.

Loaded Specs with a Bold Design

The Phone 3a Community Edition packs impressive specifications for its class. It features a 6.77-inch flexible AMOLED display that offers 120Hz refresh rate and 3,000 nits peak brightness. Therefore, users can expect crisp visuals even under bright sunlight.

It runs on the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 processor, which pairs with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. Combined with Nothing OS 3.5, based on Android 15, the phone promises fluid performance and quick response times.

Camera System for Everyday Creators

For photography lovers, Nothing includes a triple-camera setup that captures detail and depth. The system includes a 50MP main lens, an 8MP ultrawide lens, and a 50MP telephoto lens. Meanwhile, the 32MP front camera ensures sharp and vivid selfies.
Thus, both casual users and creators can rely on this setup for clear, natural photos across conditions.

Battery That Keeps You Going

The phone carries a 5,000mAh battery, which supports 33W wired charging for quick power-ups. However, Nothing excludes the charger from the box to stay consistent with its minimal design philosophy. Still, those who value lightweight, sustainable packaging will appreciate this decision.

Availability and Price

Nothing will sell the Phone 3a Community Edition for ₹28,999 in India. However, buyers can only get it at the Bengaluru event on December 13. Because of the low production volume, the device will likely sell out quickly and attract brand fans and collectors alike.
