Nothing Phone 3a Pro review in 10 points
By Divya Bhati
The phone boasts a unique techno-minimalistic design with glyph lights, a glass back, and a rounded camera island, though dust accumulation around the camera module can be a minor annoyance.
#1 Cool Design
The 6.77-inch AMOLED display with 3000 nits brightness, 120Hz refresh rate, and vibrant colours offers an excellent viewing experience for its price range.
#2 Bright and vibrant display
Powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chipset, the Phone 3a Pro delivers smooth performance for daily tasks and gaming, though a more powerful chipset would have been ideal for the "Pro" tag.
#3 Smooth Performance
Nothing OS stands out with its clean, monochromatic interface, offering a refreshing and user-friendly experience.
#4 Clean and Unique UI
The AI-powered Essential Space, accessible via a dedicated button, offers functionalities like screenshots and voice notes, but feels unpolished and underdeveloped.
#5 Essential Space Feature
The 5000mAh battery ensures all-day usage, and with a compatible charger, it supports 50W fast charging, though no charger is included in the box.
#6 Long-Lasting Battery
The Nothing Phone 3a Pro excels in camera quality, especially with its 50MP periscope telephoto lens offering 3x zoom, making it a standout in the sub-Rs 30,000 segment.
#7 Superior Camera Performance
While the camera performs well in good lighting, it struggles with moving subjects in low light, and portrait mode edge detection can be inconsistent.
#8 Low-Light Camera Limitations
The 50MP front camera delivers average results, with smoothening effects that reduce detail, particularly for skin tones.
#9 Front Camera Performance
#10 Verdict
To conclude, despite minor drawbacks, the Nothing Phone 3a Pro is a stylish, capable, and versatile phone that offers excellent value for its price, especially for photography enthusiasts.
