Nothing 3A and 3a Pro at MWC 2025 is fun, cheerful at reasonable prices


London -based technology company nothing We were pleased before With lighting Android phones Which provides some trivials that affect the need in a world full of simple gray smartphones that take themselves seriously. Nothing Phone 3A and 3A Pro are cut from the same fabric as their ancestors, comprehensive solid specifications, price signs at reasonable prices and LED design that stands out of the crowd.

The Nothing Phone 3A is the primary model in the new series, starting at $ 379 with 12 GB RAM and 256 GB. In the UK, you can pick up a background itself with 8 GB RAM and store 128 GB for only 329 pounds, or get a 12 GB/256 GB for 379 pounds. Phone 3a Pro has a full -feature camera system of 3A, but it shares the same processor, width and batteries. It costs $ 459 (449 pounds) for 12 GB/256 GB.

None None No. 3A Pro has been tested while on the ground in Barcelona for this year The mobile global conference. I am completely eager to balance the phone in the price and performance and I look forward to seeing how to accommodate other phones at reasonable prices such as New Samsung Galaxy Series and Google Pixel 8A – As well as budget phones with snakes like iPhone 16e.

The design is the first thing to emerge in these phones. The glass back reveals screws and data ribbons, giving it an industrial look that I find attractive. LED lights – which is not called symbolic fees – are scattered around the camera units on both phones and lights up to alert you to the notifications received. It is a pleasant addition to phones nothing you will not find anywhere.

Both phones contain 6.7 inches, which seemed bright and vibrant during the practical training period, as it easily facing gray gray weather in Barcelona. Those under the righteous California sun in the middle of the day may have a different experience. By classifying IP68 water resistance, calls will not be in the rain (again, not you, California) is a problem.

The 3A series is running the Qualcomm Snapdragon Gen 3 processor, which provided decent degrees in our standard tests, especially given the price of phones. While not at the top of the day The leading phones3A Pro results more compatible with Pixel 8A and Galaxy A35 5GAnd both are great phones.

In daily use, the phone has a lot of strength for basic tasks, while Alto’s Odyssey and Vampire games stretch smoothly.

Nothing 3A and AI

Both Android 15 phones run their essence, but nothing has allocated the interface greatly with a stark monochrome. It looks elegant, but sometimes I struggle to distinguish between the application icons when they are reduced to simple white and black buttons. However, you may be in a unilateral look, and if not so, you can customize the design according to your desire. Nothing promises a total of six years of software support and safety, which is good, especially given the price.

Gemini Advanced and Gemini Live and Concle are all available for use on phones, and although nothing was not thrown into many of its artificial intelligence (which I feel grateful), I launched one tool I fully love. It is called the basic space, designed as a central center to store your ideas, notes, screen clips and ideas throughout the day.

You will fill the basic space with all your thoughts and thoughts. maybe.

See some of the shoes you love? Open the camera and use the designated basic space button on the side of the phone to save a shot – noting your voice – to your area. Do you need to buy Brie and Vodka, party caps and snake foods on their way to home? The long pressure on your shopping menu will allow you to add it to your space to check later.

It is a nice idea in theory, although it looks limited in its function now. The basic space is mainly the center of screenshots and audio notes, but I see its potential. It is a refreshing to find a unique and really useful feature. Nothing confirms that the basic space is still in beta, with more features on the way – so watch this space.

Nothing 3A Pro Camera

Both phones are pimples of 50 -megapixel main cameras, and although nothing says the professional model has promoted automatic focus and dynamic range, I have not yet been able to compare it, so my thoughts here depend on my use of the 3a Pro phone.

Despite the very difficult scene, the 3a Pro phone does a good job in achieving a balance between prominent points and mysterious areas.

There are many filters, but I particularly love black and white.

While the 3A base packages a 50 -megapixel phone camera capable of 2x visual augmentation, the 3A PRISCOL PERICOPE 3x camera provides 3X, with 6X “in the sensor”, which is effective. Sensor crops Outside to achieve longer enlargement.

The 3A primary phone has a 32 -megapixel front camera, and 3a Pro has a larger 50 -megapixel sensor to help capture more clear shots.

The professional front camera test was the perfect excuse for a large beer. The same image is good, especially given the relatively low light environment.

Nothing 3A, 3A Pro or a competitor?

I am amazed at the extent of a little different between the two models. With the same processor, width, 5000 mAh battery per hour (with fast charging 50W), the main differences are the additional Periscope enlargement and high -resolution front camera. Is photography important to you? If so, maybe the spring of professionals. Otherwise, save yourself a few dollars and go to the basic model.

Both phones seem to provide a strong, and truly comprehensive experience at a reasonable price. At $ 379, it’s great for the phone that can deal with almost anything – especially when Apple is $ 599 at “reasonable prices” for iPhone 16e. However, unless you need a new phone immediately, it may be useful to wait to find out how Galaxy A26 and A36 of Samsung was recently announced, or if the Google 9A of Google is just around the bracket.
