New Delhi: Nothing has finally launched its most-awaited Phone (3a) Community Edition, a limited edition device which is especially designed with the involvement of its global community. The model is part of the company’s Community Edition Project, which enables the creators to take part in shaping actual consumer products. The 2025 programme in hardware, software, accessories, and marketing, underlining the company’s focus on co-creation rather than conventional consumer feedback.
The initiative attracted more than 700 submissions this year, which shows the increasing interest among independent creators to work directly with the technology brands. From these entries, four contributors were also selected to develop key aspects of the Phone (3a) Community Edition. The Nothing Phone (3a) Community Edition hardware and packaging were designed by Emre Kayganacl, who also drew inspiration from the technology designs popular in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The accessory category, added for the first time this year, features the Dice, a collectable object designed by Ambrogio Tacconi and Louis Aymonod. It incorporates Nothing’s Ndot 55 font and uses global symbols of play to connect with the company’s design philosophy.
On the software side, designer Jad Zock created a customised lock screen clock with variable font weights for improved readability and reduced clutter. The device also includes four wallpapers designed to match the phone’s colour themes and interface. The marketing campaign, titled Made Together and developed by Sushruta Sarkar, focuses on the shared process of the product creation and the community’s contribution. The Nothing Phone (3a) Community Edition is priced at Rs 28,999 and comes in only a 12GB of RAM and 256GB of onboard storage version. The company will only produce 1,000 units globally.
