Nothing’s 140W GaN Charger Spotted on Flipkart Ahead of Official Launch
Nothing has never hinted about this, but it is now tipped to launch a new 140W GaN Charger under its CMF by Nothing brand. Although there is no official announcement yet, the arrival of the new product is around the corner as it recently went live on Flipkart with its details listed.
Abhishek Singh on X (formerly Twitter) shared the Flipkart listing, which shows the charger comes in a Matt Black finish with CMF by Nothing logo and “140W GaN”. The device features an all-purpose design and has two USB Type-C ports along with one USB Type-A port, all functioning within a compact two-pin setup.
A promotional poster that comes with the listing describes the charger’s features. The product boasts of having nine safety mechanisms, along with intelligent power distribution, and does not provide the cumulative output of using two ports together but includes the feature of PD 3.1 protection, along with ability for dual laptop charging. It too, much like the former example, manages to charge a MacBook Pro to 55% after 30 minutes.
None of such smartphones, including the CMF Phone 1 and Nothing Phone (2a), can be charged to 66% in the same amount of time.
There seems to be an e-commerce listing that comes with a price and an EMI option of Rs 294 a month over 24 months totaling approximately Rs 7,000 or so maybe with interest. However, an eager user replied to the original post that the charger is available for the Indian market at Rs 6,000.
The planned launch date is officially unknown, but the Nothing event set for tomorrow-September 24th-is purported to be where the company will be unveiling its first open-ear earbuds i.e Nothing Ear Open. It can also be presumed that the same event is intended for the first public release of the 140W GaN charger.
Nothing is all set to launch its highly-anticipated Phone (3a) on March 4. The company has been teasing the phone, and the latest reveal confirms an exciting new feature—a dedicated camera button on the side. This button will allow users to quickly open the camera app and also function as a shutter button for taking photos and videos.
Improved Camera Performance
The Nothing Phone (3a) is expected to focus heavily on camera performance. It will come with a triple-camera setup, including a 50MP telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom—a first for the brand. Alongside the telephoto lens, the phone will feature a 50MP main camera and an 8MP ultrawide sensor, promising improved photography capabilities.
Expected Specifications
Rumors suggest that the Phone (3a) will have a 6.8-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate for a smooth viewing experience. It is expected to be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chipset and pack a 5,000 mAh battery with 45W fast charging support.
Leaked and Official Reveals
Recently, a leaked image showed the Nothing Phone (3a) with a protective case applied. While the full design remains a mystery, the new triple-camera setup was clearly visible. Later, Nothing officially confirmed the triple-camera design, along with slight changes to the Glyph LED lights on the back. However, the complete rear design of the phone has yet to be revealed.
With the launch just around the corner, more details are expected to surface soon.
