The all-new phone 3A series brings a lot of improvements and intelligence over the phone 2a, which was launched last year. This time, we have two models in this series, including the Nothing Phone 3A and Phone 3A ProWhile both devices offer almost the same set of features, the company has introduced its first pro variant in the ‘a’ series.

Starting with the Design Language, The Nothing Phone 3A Pro Sticks to the Brand’s Design Philosophy. You get a transparent back panel, which is now made of glass. The device is available in two color options, gray and black. I received the former for review, and it sure gives me that nothing vibes.

The Handset Comes with a Transparent Glass Back and a Large Circular Camera Module.

But what makes it stand out from the other noter noting smartphones is the large circular camera module. The brand says that it used such a protruding Circular Module to Incorport The Periscope Lens. You also get the glyph interface surrounding the camera module, which looks good. However, Such a Large camera module makes it a bit Difacity to hold the device easily. Moreover, Such a large camera module also makes it wobble a bit when you place it on a flat surface.

Moving on, The Frame Looks Sturdy. On the left, you have the Volume control button, while the right has a power on/off button along with a dedicated button to access the new essential space feature. At the bottom there is a sim tray, a USB type-c port, and a speaker grille.

It also features up to 3,000 nits of peak brightness, which is useful outdoors. The screen does look vibrant and sharp. I Enjoyed Watching a Couple of HDR Videos on this smartphone.

That said, noteing has added a new essential space feature, which is a one-stop solution to gather all sorts of data (screenshots, camera captures and more) that gots tagged for recall using ai. There is a dedicated essential key right next to the power button to access this feature. We will talk more about this feature in our upcoming review.
