Nothing Phone (3a) review
Hot on the heels of our Nothing Phone (3a) Pro review, it's time we turn our attention to its sibling, the Nothing Phone (3a). As already mentioned, the...
Competitive launch pricing.
The Essential key's prominent placement has moved the Power button to a new spot that takes some time to get used to.
We definitely liked our time with the Nothing Phone (3a). Surprisingly, we didn't miss the 3x periscope telephoto of the Pro model all that much. Without it, the vanilla model arguably offers a better value proposition. There are other very compelling...

Nothing Phone 3a and 3a Pro review: Rising above the boring competition
The Nothing Phone 3a and 3a Pro offer a great display, fun designs and, in the case of the 3a Pro, a tremendous camera for the price.

Nothing Phone 3a Review: the new champion of value
The Nothing Phone 3a offers a triple camera setup, large 120Hz display and 5,000mAh battery for under $400. However, is it any good and should you buy it?
Unique design that stands out ; Fast charging ; Great Battery Life ; Nothing OS is a joy to use ; 120Hz display
Older chipset struggles to keep up ; Limited water resistance ; Camera isn’t consistent ; Essential key placement is odd
“The Nothing Phone 3a is Nothing’s best phone yet and it offers excellent battery life, a unique experience and an abundance of style. There are a few misses, but while it isn't perfect, the Nothing Phone 3a is really good.”

Nothing Phone 3a Pro review: The best Nothing phone
We review the Nothing Phone 3a Pro to find out if the unusual design hides a winning smartphone.
Unique design ; Feature-packed software ; Fun details add to ownership enjoyment ; Versatile camera takes great photos ; Essential Space AI is intriguing
Average battery life ; Poor wide-angle camera
“The Nothing Phone 3a Pro's unique style separates it from the competition, and hides a cracking camera, strong performance, and great software.”

Nothing Phone (3a) vs Nothing Phone (3a) Pro: what's the difference?
The Nothing Phone (3a) and (3a) Pro are out and... very similar? Yeah, the design is different, but beyond that, what's up with the two models?

I switched to $379 Android phone from my Pixel 9 Pro while traveling - and didn't regret it
With its focus on design and subtle AI enhancements, the Nothing Phone 3a delivers a distinct midrange smartphone experience.
Despite rare and understandable compromises in camera quality, the Nothing Phone 3a makes all the right tradeoffs for a budget device. It stands out with its signature design, delivers impressive battery performance, and features a phenomenal display.

Nothing Phone (3a) Series Review: Two winners, one clear choice
The Nothing Phone (3a) series delivers two of the best smartphones you can buy on a budget, but there's a clear winner between them.

Nothing Phone (3a) Review: The Best Sub-$400 Smartphone?
Does it always have to be between Samsung and Xiaomi? The Nothing Phone (3a) proves to be a dark horse with its impressive review performance.
Sleek, standout design ; Bright, high-quality display ; Powerful performance ; Clean, efficient software ; Fast and reliable updates ; Long battery life ; Great value for the price
Essential Key position could be improved ; Non-expandable memory ; Only IP64 certification
The $300 to $400 price range is highly competitive sector where many manufacturers try to stand out from the crowd with a special feature (or two). With Nothing, their strength clearly lies in the design. However, it is not just the appearance that...

Nothing Phone 3a review: Software and design make it stand out

The Nothing Phone (3a) and (3a) Pro are here to organize your life with the power of AI
The Nothing Phone 3a and Phone 3a Pro represent the best of affordable Android phones, delivering stellar mid-range entries with top-tier design. Nothing is upsetting the mid-range segment once again with top-tier design and must-have features.
Best-looking budget phones available ; Great 120Hz OLED panel with eye-friendly dimming tech ; Good battery life ; Excellent triple-camera system (Phone 3a Pro is best) ; Unique, customizable software with no bloat ; Essential Space is an excellent use...
Worse gaming performance than Phone 2a ; Essential Key is easy to press accidentally ; Phone 3a Pro camera island is massive ; Limited availability in the U.S.
The Nothing Phone 3a and 3a Pro strike a very interesting balance between powerful and affordable. The phones retain Nothing's very distinct design philosophy while integrating AI into the mix and slapping on excellent cameras. That said, the phones...
