Editorial report

Nothing Phone (3a) Pro technical sheet

The Nothing Phone (3a) Pro suits people looking for a very bright display, broad connectivity, and a camera with optical zoom. Its 6.77-inch AMOLED display reaches 3,000 nits, a higher peak brightness than most phones launched around the same time. Design and display overall also stand better than most. The camera offers three perspectives, including a 50 MP telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom, among the best of its time. The main camera's f/1.9 aperture is less bright than that of most phones launched around the same time. Its 5,000 mAh battery also has less capacity than most phones from that period, so those are the principal trade-offs.

The 50 W fast charging is typical of its time. Hardware overall is typical, although its 12 GB of RAM exceeds the amount in most phones, and its AnTuTu result of 820,097 is also better than most. This global version pairs 12 GB of RAM with 256 GB of storage, which cannot be expanded. It runs Android 15, with three years of OS updates, and includes NFC, eSIM, and Bluetooth 5.4. It supports two Nano-SIM cards alongside eSIM, plus stereo speakers and Dolby Atmos. The overall NeoScore is 7.1. This is a compelling option for people who prioritize display brightness, optical zoom, and connectivity, and can accept a lower-capacity battery and a less bright aperture on the main camera.
