The unique focus on style without compromising substance has made Nothing some well-deserved hype in the smartphone space. The Nothing Phone 3 looks great, and we’re eager to see what it will bring to the table in the future. Before we get to the top, we’ve spotted the specs of the company’s budget offerings, which are likely to be the Nothing Phone 3a, Phone 3a Plus, and CMF Phone 2.
Recent Nothing OS 3.0 builds based on Android 15 revealed certain specifications and other details about upcoming Nothing devices. The codenames asteroids, asteroids_plus, and galaga may be related to upcoming Nothing phones. This codename is said to be for the Nothing Phone 3a (asteroids), Nothing Phone 3a Plus (asteroids_plus), and the CMF Phone 2 (galaga).
The CMF Phone 2 will run a MediaTek SoC, while the Nothing Phone 3a and Phone 3a Plus will utilize the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 SoC.
Further clues suggest the Phone 3a could have a telephoto camera, while the Phone 3a Plus could have a periscope zoom camera. Accordingly, the Phone 3a series could be the first in the Nothing lineup to come with optical zoom sensors instead of wide and ultrawide rear cameras.
Interestingly, the Nothing Phone 3a and Phone 3a Plus may be the company’s first phones to support eSIM. Users can likely use two nano-SIMs or one eSIM with an eSIM for dual-SIM configurations. CMF Phone 2, however, will likely stick to physical SIMs only.
