Nothing released its first-ever Community Edition (CE) device last year for the Phone 2a Plus<\/a>. After last year\u2019s success, the company is back with a second CE device, this time for the Phone 3a. Just like last time, you\u2019ll want to move fast if you want one for yourself.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/p>\n Nothing has officially launched the Phone 3a<\/a> Community Edition, which was made in collaboration with the company\u2019s fans. While the fan-made phone doesn\u2019t feature any hardware upgrades compared to the regular version of the Phone 3a, there are a few details that set it apart.<\/p>\n Easily the most notable difference is the color, which features a teal, transparent back panel with pink and yellow highlights. According to Nothing\u2019s blog, this look was inspired by \u201cthe 90s and early 2000s to bring a retro futuristic vibe.\u201d The fans also created a unique lockscreen clock that transforms upon waking the device. It also comes with new wallpapers to help bring the software in line with the rear visual language.<\/p>\n As a fun little extra, those who get the Phone 3a CE will also get an accessory. This year, the community made dice featuring Nothing\u2019s Ndot 55 font. There are six dice in total, and they come in a yellow compartment with a teal sleeve, bringing the design together with the phone.<\/p>\n Nothing says that it will only make 1,000 units of the Phone 3a CE. If you\u2019re interested in purchasing one, Nothing is allowing fans to register on nothing.tech<\/a> from December 9 to December 11 to secure a purchase invitation. The handset is set to go on sale on December 12 and will be available on the company\u2019s website in select markets. Some of the inventory will also be available at Nothing\u2019s physical store in Soho, London.<\/p>\n![\"google](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png\"\/ "\\"google"){kind=icon}
