Nothing Phone 3a: What to expect
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.
