The Buzz Around the Nothing Phone (3a) Pro
In true Nothing style, the Phone (3a) Pro generated a significant buzz across social media and technology platforms long before its official release, intensifying its allure.
Performance Meets Expectations
Yet, all the pre-launch excitement holds little weight if the device doesn’t deliver on performance. Fortunately, the Nothing Phone (3a) Pro proves to be just what you need in a smartphone.
Unboxing Experience
Upon unboxing, you’ll encounter a straightforward USB-C cable—devoid of any transparent accents. Notably, users will need to purchase their own casing and charger; while this phone supports 50W charging capability, it’s interesting that the manufacturer offers only a 45W charger for sale on their site.

A Closer Look at Design and Specs
The standard Nothing Phone (3a), depicted on the left in our images, closely resembles its Pro version. The primary distinction lies in their camera systems: while the Pro model boasts an impressive 70mm f/2.6 telephoto lens along with an advanced 50MP front-facing camera, its non-Pro counterpart isn’t far behind with its own capable 50mm f/2.0 zoom lens and a respectable 32MP selfie shooter.
Visually speaking, many may prefer the distinctive blue hue of the standard model compared to the more subdued black and gray options of its professional sibling.

Is It Worth Choosing The Pro?
The superior zoom capacity is certainly a compelling reason to opt for the Pro edition. With pricing variations being minimal—specifically for configurations like 12GB RAM with 256GB storage—which is £70/$80/€80 or approximately INR 9,000 more than base model’s equivalent setup in India—the investment appears justified for those keen on photography through smartphones.
