In March, Nothing invited its passionate community to help shape a unique iteration of its Phone 3a, resulting in the release of the Nothing Phone 3a Community Edition. Designed in collaboration with dedicated fans, this special edition brings a nostalgic flair reminiscent of the 1990s and early 2000s, showcasing a distinctive teal transparent back panel accented by playful pink and yellow highlights. However, this exclusive phone is only available in very limited quantities, meaning you'll have to act fast to claim one.
A Nostalgic Design Paying Homage to the Past
The Nothing Phone 3a Community Edition embraces a retro aesthetic inspired by the vibrant colors and styles of the late 20th century. Developed with direct input from the brand's most devoted fans, the phone features a transparent teal back that reveals its internal components, complemented by bright pink and yellow details that give it a unique personality.
Exclusivity at Its Finest
This Community Edition will be strictly limited to only 1,000 units worldwide. Interested buyers must register to gain access to the limited sales window scheduled for December 12. Furthermore, a select number of units will be sold in person at Nothing's Soho store in London on December 13, distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.

Nothing’s experiment with a fan-designed phone has sparked curiosity about whether other brands should follow suit.
