Hello fellow community members! My name is Khushal Jain. Having used the Nothing Phone (1) for over two years, I was thrilled to test the Nothing Phone (3a)...

Nothing phone 3a is good phone. I like everything in this before this I was using 2a, 2a give me a feel like iphone in hand and shape vise. This is looking like normal smartphone isn’t the issue apart from this everything is great. Moon photos are too good at this price point I don’t know is it AI generated picture or what but at this price point very nice i am impressed.

Great review, thanks!

Actually the expert mode preset can be created and then the settings can be changed while using the preset and the phone preserves those settings. But it only saves on the device and can’t be exported. I tried sharing my panning shot preset but the other device had the expert settings auto when applying that preset. So yeah, preseting expert mode settings could be a great feature to add in the coming updates.

Yes! It acts like the c-settings on a camera dial. Very useful.

I’m curious

Just hesitating between Nothing Phone 3A pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max.
Any advice ? Which one is the better ? Help me please

Seen many reviews, everyone talking about so many things, but no one is talking about its display issues. Is it solved? I am a 2a plus owner and have severe black crush issues in videos in low brightness and in dark room. This is really frustrating. Cant see any low ambient scene properly. Looks so ugly. Planning to buy an another device, if the display problems are solved then like to buy 3a series. Apart from these display issues I am very satisfied with 2a plus’s overall performances.

biyaschatterjee hey, I covered about this issue in my review, if you wanna check it out:

in short, it was with specific units of Phone 2a and Phone 2a Plus, there’s no issue in my Phone 3a Pro, so it is better if you can check for the issue within the return/replacement period.

Uday Thank u….U got a sub. So I guess, I still have to wait few more days to know the truth.

Nothing 3a after week feels similar to 2a except when in phone/ whatsapp call. Voice occasional miss or heard cracked on other side,, seems software issue because tested mic ok. No such issue in my nothing 2a. Did anybody experienced that?

Only one thing i dislike is The build quality of the phone 3a pro ..feels good but very cheap quality….. just the casual drop may do serious damage to body……..

aniketrege1991

RahulK_yt4YplsZpM that’s probably with any phone or a device. If it gets dropped scratches and damage would be obvious but, NOTHING’s hardware is a top-notch similar to what we saw in Early Nokia phones. That’s what my feel with Nothing products and not just phone even other products are ruf and tuff (Rough and Tough)

Just felt a too much of sensitivity with the ear stick. One of my friend had the earstick it was working perfectly fine until it fell not even from a big height just from the desk to the ground and it stopped working. Had similar reviews with nothing ear stick. Never the less rest all is top notch.
