Nothing Phone (3a) brings retro style with Community Edition twist
The Nothing Phone (3a) Community Edition is officially here, and it’s a proper throwback. Sporting a design straight out of the 90s, this limited-run device stands apart not for what’s inside but how it looks and who helped shape it.
Nothing Phone (3a) Community Edition flaunts frosted teal finish
This year’s Community Edition sticks with the brand’s transparent design language but adds a twist: a minty frosted teal shell that echoes classic tech from decades ago. It’s a bold callback, with clear influences from devices like Nintendo’s Funtastic consoles. Nothing didn’t stop at the phone itself either its retail box features matching accent colors, a first for the brand.

A design made by the community, not just for it
Back in March, Nothing kicked off its Community Edition contest, inviting users to shape the look and feel of the next model. Now, the result is here. From the black volume buttons to the punchy magenta power key and colorful symbols on the back, every detail screams personality. And for those who’ve grown tired of grayscale tech, it’s a welcome shake-up.
