Nothing is gearing up to launch its next mid-range smartphones, the Nothing Phone 3a and 3a Pro, on March 4th. As expected from Nothing, it has now started dropping subtle hints about what you can expect from upcoming phones. And its latest teaser suggests a feature that could set the 3a series apart from the competition — a dedicated camera button.
Camera button is the new trend
In a post on X, Nothing shared an x-ray-style image of a phone with an extra button positioned just below the power button. The button appears shorter and wider than the others, accompanied by the cryptic caption: “Your second memory, one click away.” While Nothing doesn’t explicitly confirm its function, the tagline “one click away” subtly hints it could be a dedicated camera button.
We have seen the resurgence of camera buttons on quite a few smartphones already. Apple revived the concept with its iPhone 16 series in 2024, although user feedback was mixed due to its complex implementation. Oppo’s Find X8 Pro later brought a simpler, more intuitive version to Android devices.
Given Nothing’s focus on design and user experience, its approach could lean closer to Oppo’s, making for a more seamless and practical addition.

Beyond the camera button, leaks suggest that the Nothing Phone 3a will be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chipset and feature a 5,000 mAh battery. The devices are also expected to come with a new triple-camera setup, including a telephoto lens — a first for Nothing — and an updated glyph interface on the back.
Other rumored specs for the Phone 3a include a 6.8-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a 120 Hz refresh rate and support for 45W wired charging. For now, differences between the Pro and non-Pro models remain unclear, though Nothing may reveal more details in the lead-up to the launch.
