As part of a triple-camera setup, nothing has confirmed that the upcoming Phone 3a will have a 50MP periscope camera.
A YouTube video and comparison photos comparing the Phone 3A’s camera performance to that of Apple’s iPhone 16 Pro Max were made public by the company.
Nothing 3a To Come With 50 MP Periscope Camera
A wide, ultrawide, and periscope telephoto lens are placed close to the flash module in a unique triangular arrangement that makes up the camera setup.
In comparison to the Phone 2A, the primary 50MP camera has a “300% greater full well capacity” and a 64% improvement in light-gathering capability at the pixel level.
For improved image optimization, the camera system integrates computational photography features like AI tone-mapping and scene detection.
In contrast to the iPhone 16 Pro Max’s 5x optical zoom and 25x digital zoom, the periscope telephoto lens offers 3x optical zoom and up to 60x “ultra zoom” with a 70mm focal length.
The front and main cameras can record 4K video with enhanced night photography features, and all four cameras—including the front-facing camera and the three rear cameras—support Ultra HDR.
Nothing asserts that the Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, which will power the Phone 3A, is 25% quicker than the MediaTek chip found in the Phone 2A.
Though nothing has formally confirmed it, there are rumors that the Phone 3A may come in two versions: the Phone 3A and the Phone 3A Pro.
On March 4, the Phone 3A series will be formally unveiled.
Previous Reports About Nothing 3a
We had reported earlier about leaks that suggested the Nothing Phone (3a) will be powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 processor, similar to other phones like the Realme 14 Pro+. It may sport the same 6.7-inch 120Hz AMOLED display as its predecessor. The camera setup is expected to include a 50MP primary sensor, a 50MP 2x telephoto lens, and an 8MP ultra-wide camera, with a 32MP selfie shooter. The Phone 3a might also support e-SIM, a first for Nothing. Leaks suggest the price will be around ₹25,000, with a potential Pro variant priced closer to ₹30,000.
