The Nothing Phone 3a Community Edition is priced in India at Rs. 28,999. Only 1,000 units will be produced globally, making it a collector's item. In India, it launches exclusively via a drop event on December 13 at 33&Brew in Bengaluru's Prestige Technostar (Doddanakundi Industrial Area 2, Phase 1, Brookefield), from 2pm to 6pm IST.

After months of collaboration, the Nothing Phone 3a Community Edition has launched in India. The phone marks the culmination of its 2025 Community Edition Project. This special variant of the mid-range smartphone was developed in collaboration with four emerging creators selected from over 700 global submissions, blending fan-driven innovation with the company's signature transparent design ethos.

The Community Edition Project, now in its second year, moves beyond traditional feedback mechanisms to position fans as co-creators. This iteration invited submissions across hardware, accessories, software interfaces, and marketing. From hundreds of entries, Nothing's teams in London selected four winners: Turkish designer Emre Kayganacl for hardware and packaging; French duo Ambrogio Tacconi and Louis Aymonod (of Reveland) for the accessory; French designer Jad Zock for lock screen and wallpaper elements; and Indian creator Sushruta Sarkar for the marketing campaign.
