Nothing Phone (3) which earlier appeared on Geekbench was in fact Nothing Phone (3a), Confirms GSMA database listing
Recent reports revealed that Nothing has a new flagship smartphone in development, the Nothing Phone 3, with an alleged Geekbench listing showing the model number A059. A few days ago, tipster Yogesh Brar mentioned three new smartphones coming from Nothing in the first half of 2025, though he didn’t specify which models. Rumours suggested one would be the Nothing Phone 3 and another the Nothing Phone 3 Pro or Plus with model number A059P.
However, new information clarifies that the earlier Geekbench listing wasn’t for the Nothing Phone (3), but rather the Nothing Phone (3a). According to a report by Smartprix, model number A059 belongs to the Nothing Phone (3a), whilst A059P corresponds to the Nothing Phone (3a) Plus. The third device will come from Nothing’s sub-brand CMF, called the CMF Phone 2, bearing model number A0001.
All three devices have appeared on the GSMA database, with the Nothing Phone (3a) and (3a) Plus codenamed “asteroids” and “asteroids_plus” respectively. The CMF Phone 2 carries the codename “galaga”.
Regarding specifications, the Nothing Phone (3a) is expected to feature the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 SoC, as previously spotted on Geekbench under a different name. The report details its camera capabilities:
- Main camera: 26mm focal length, 4K 60FPS video recording, and 1080P slow-motion at up to 480FPS
- Features: Super Macro, Super EIS, and Super Night modes (names may change)
- Front camera: 29mm focal length, 1080P at 30FPS—reduced from the Phone 2a’s 60FPS capability
- No high-resolution RAW photography, but includes in-sensor zoom technology for improved clarity
The device will run the latest Android 15-based Nothing OS 3.1. Additionally, the report mentions that the next-generation CMF Phone 2 will also feature the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 SoC. Further details remain undisclosed, with more information expected soon.
