It appears someone at Nothing made an early move. Teasers hinted at a device launch on March 4. The device remained a mystery. However, a Flipkart slip-up seems to have revealed the secret. Prepare for the Nothing Phone 3a.
The Slippery URL: Accidental Flipkart Reveal
Nothing created a teaser page on their website to build anticipation. The "Learn More" button was intended to lead to intrigue. Instead, for a moment, observant users found a Flipkart landing page URL clearly stating "Nothing Phone 3a". This was an unexpected reveal.
Nothing quickly changed the URL to "Arcanine". Yet, the internet remembers everything. Screenshots circulated. Whispers spread. The name "Nothing Phone (3a)" is now firmly in the rumor mill.
This situation resembles accidentally hitting reply-all on an email. The Nothing marketing team might be experiencing a similar moment.
Arcanine: The Codename Connection Explained
"Arcanine" is the name linked to recent Nothing teasers. Initially, the connection to the Pokémon character was unclear. The leaked URL clarifies things. "Arcanine" is likely the codename for the Nothing Phone project, the rumored 3a. This was the codename until the URL leak.
Rumored Features of the Nothing Phone (3a)
Official details are still limited. Based on rumors and informed speculation, the Nothing Phone (3a) could offer:
- Battery Boost: A rumored 5,000mAh battery for extended use.
- eSIM Support: Modern connectivity with eSIM capability.
- Camera Upgrade: Possible addition of a telephoto camera.
- Snapdragon Inside: Likely powered by a Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chipset for balanced performance.
Successor to the (2a) and Expected Price
The Nothing Phone 3a is expected to be the successor to the Nothing Phone 2a, launched around March last year. The Nothing Phone 2a had a reasonable launch price. Expectations are for Nothing to price the 3a similarly. This would offer value to those seeking a Nothing phone without a premium price.
Disclaimer: This information is based on leaks and speculation. Official details will be confirmed by Nothing at their March 4 launch event. Stay tuned.
