Can’t find my comment, so here it goes again just in case lol

You gotta love Nothing’s level of details. I still once in a while stare at my NP (!) back, I just never got tired of it and they keep getting better with each generation

If they had added some more glyph in the back panel, it could have increased the “centre of attraction” thing, but perhaps the cost could have increased..

Rob ⚡️ me encantan los detalles metálico de la parte de atrás del np 3a pro

I dont think any part of the phone alone is super impressive but the phone as a overall package is very attractive.
Nobody will look at it and think “woah that SoC is amazing” but thats really not what its about.
The 3x Mechanical Zoom is the best feature hands down, it might not make the camera itself better BUT the moment you zoom in to take a picture from a item far away you will notice a major improvement.

Rob ⚡️ While maybe not a feature per se, but I absolutely love the new camera design. I guess it was a bold move by the design team and I even have to admit I hated it at first when some initial images got leaked, however after seeing the complete product and actual pictures of it, I was instantly hooked.

Kudos to the Nothing design team, well done as usual! 👏

Rob ⚡️ that periscope i love it. I have seen Jerry open that periscope and for the price it’s just a masterpiece.

Rob ⚡️ obviously the glyph lights gotta be my favorite

The periscope camera really makes a difference, and having a zoom of this quality in a budget phone is huge.

I really like Essential Key and Nothing OS. I don’t care about hardware, honestly. The only thing that matters to me is Nothing OS. If you guys add more bold fonts, that would be cool too.

Nothing software , Periscope camera and smooth optimization in daily task makes it best budget allrounder.

Periscope is VFM in this segment and I am proud owner of nothing phone 3a

Dang that periscope is amazing, especially for that price. Would it be possible to use an even longer module for insane zoom ? Like on the 3 pro ( if it’s even gonna be a thing.) 🚀🔥😉

Rob ⚡️ I’d say the midframe might be one of the main reasons which can urge me to buy 3a pro…. sadly I just got my 2a plus just 2 months back…. i was really expecting the 3a to be released around may so I dont feel so bad 🙁

Rob ⚡️ My favorite features of the Phone (3a) Pro have to be its software experience and periscope camera. The clean, smooth UI makes everyday use a joy, while the periscope lens takes zoom photography to the next level with incredible detail and clarity.

I like the design of nothing phone 3a pro very much , No other phone can match its design . And its transparent back and camera design, I love this, periscope camera and essential key and essential space is futuristic feature .

I love this phone 📱 ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Always a fan of these teardown posts! 🔥

Sticking with the trend of this thread and it has to be the Periscope Camera that takes my favourite spec for the new (3a) Pro.

But the part I found most interesting was seeing the rear of the Camera Housing.

Rob ⚡️ The lenses of each camera are positioned as close together as possible

So great to see the intricacies of the engineering and design teams, keeping up the great and beautiful work! 👏🏼

My favorite spec has gotta to be that periscope lens. Never knew that you’d need a big enough space to utilize it and that would explain the design of the phone itself. Still, it’s a damn good looking phone 🔥.

Rob ⚡️ The design is very much attractive..

Rob ⚡️ Love the périscope lens ! Very interesting technology with the mirror system, and it offers a great creative option for photography!
