UK-based consumer technology startup Nothing's upcoming smartphone could be the Phone 3a, a successor to the mid-range Phone 2a which launched last year. According to a report by 9To5Google, the teaser released by the company could be hinting at the launch of the Nothing Phone 3a, which will reportedly feature a triple-camera set-up at the back.

Every Nothing Phone to date has a dual-camera set-up at the back, a primary sensor and an ultra-wide-angle sensor. However, the teaser video released by the company suggests that the rear camera module on the upcoming smartphone will have space for a third sensor as well. This could be a new telephoto camera with optical zooming capabilities.

 

According to the report, Nothing Phone 3a is expected to feature a 50MP primary camera, an 8MP ultra-wide and a new 50MP telephoto at the back. At the front, the smartphone could get a 32MP camera.
