 The Nothing Phone (3a) series is a mid-range line of Android smartphones developed by Nothing, announced and launched in March 2025. It comprises two models - Phone (3a) and Phone (3a) Pro - which share key internal hardware but differ in camera setups and design features. Both devices embody Nothing’s signature transparent aesthetic and integrate the brand’s [[software:essential_space|Essential Space]] AI features by a dedicated ‘Essential Key’ button. Phone (3a) series were the first Nothing phones to feature telephoto cameras.((https://nothing.community/d/27793))

 With the [[software:nothing_os#nothing_os_40|Nothing OS 4.0]] update, which entered Open Beta on 24 November 2025, Nothing introduced "Lock Glimpse" to the (a) series and CMF phones. This was a feature designed to bring "fresh, high-quality wallpapers to your lock screen, curated to your taste across nine categories".((https://nothing.community/d/45141)) The introduction of Lock Glimpse faced immediate backlash from the community, hailing it as "bloatware" on an otherwise clean and minimal OS.((https://nothing.community/d/45213)) Nothing released a number of statements and updates around this feature, ultimately deciding to fully remove it on (a) series devices as of 9 January 2026.((https://nothing.community/d/45348))
