Nothing Phone 3a Review | Upgrade to Pro?

Video Description

Reviewing the Nothing Phone 3a with a comparison vs the Pro, to see how they stack up for camera abilities, gaming performance, battery life and beyond. This unboxing and two week review includes my Nothing Phone 3a verdict - spoiler alert, one of the best budget mid-range phones of 2025, easy. The main difference vs the 3a Pro is that camera setup, but the regular smartphone should appease most people. That zoom lens isn't as capable (especially at night), but you still get good looking pics in most conditions, as long as your subject isn't moving. The Nothing Phone 3a also looks nicer, as it doesn't have a planet-sized lump sticking out the back. Gamers will enjoy their Wuthering Waves or Genshin Impact session on this phone too, thanks to the Snapdragon smarts. You'll want to keep the graphics settings scaled down to avoid regular judders, but this phone stays nice and cool throughout. Likewise, the Nothing Phone 3a boasts rather splendid battery life. You'll not need to top up until you're tucked up with teddy. As long as you're not bothered about eSIM support, I'd say grab yourself a Nothing Phone 3a rather than the Pro. However, go check out my full Nothing Phone 3a Pro review as well, just to be sure!
