The Nothing Phone (3a) series is set to launch soon, revealing intriguing design insights. The designers discuss their development process, indicating key factors like display and camera choices greatly impact the final product. Notably, the Nothing Phone (3a) Pro will feature a challenging 3x periscope camera. The design emphasizes practicality and aesthetics, showcasing many iterations to achieve the final layout. Additionally, a unique glossy camera button will be introduced, aligning with the product's diverse color offerings. A 'vanilla' Phone (3a) will also debut soon alongside the Pro version, with hints of a flagship model in the works.
The design process starts with sketching things on paper, then proceeds to computer designs and even includes playing around with the components.
The new periscope module presented a challenge as it is larger than a typical camera module. It had to fit well within the phone's design.
The team considered adding a red dot to the camera button for design consistency but opted for a glossy finish to allow color coordination.
Nothing is introducing a camera button that stands out with a glossy finish, ensuring it matches the phone's various colorways.
