Nothing Phone (3A) Review: Down in design, but many shortcomings left

The Nothing Phone (3A) has been launched in India in early March. Nathing has used Qualcomm processor in this mid budget smartphone. Before Nathing, both phones Phone 1 and Phone 2 were also launched with Qualcomm processors. However, in the Phone (2A) launched last year, the company used the processor of MediaTek. This is the company’s first phone, with a triple camera setup in the back. The initial price of this phone is Rs 24,999. We have used this latest smartphone of Nathing for a few days and have brought a review for you. Come, let’s know how we liked the Nothing Phone (3A) …

Nothing Phone (3A) design

Nathing has used a trademark transparent design like every phone in this smartphone. Nathing has used a scratch proof panel in the back of this phone. The back panel of the phone easily scratches or no mark. Like the previous model, a unique design element has also been used in it, due to which it looks quite attractive. This phone also has glyph lighting.

In its transparent back panel, you will see the inner quines etc. You will get to see good finishing on all four corners of the phone. Volume on one side of this phone and power button on the other side. A power button is found with an ascental button, which users can use to do many things.

The phone’s display also does good in direct sun lights. You can easily see screen content, icon etc. I saw some web series on this phone of Nathing, in which I got good visual quality. Like the design of the phone, its display will not disappoint you.

Performance of Nothing Phone (3A)

This is the first phone of Nathing, which comes with Qualcomm processor. This phone provides Qualcomm Snapdragon 7S Gen 3 processor, which is equipped with 4Nm Gen 2 TSMC processing technology and its clock speed up to 2.5GHz. The MediaTek Dimensity 7200 Pro processor was used in the Phone (2A) launched last year. The clock speed of this processor is up to 2.8GHz. However, on this Octacore processor you get good performance during multi-tasking and gaming.

This phone comes with 8GB of RAM and up to 256GB storage features. I have used its top variant. On this phone, I saw NFS playing, I did not see the problem of hanging in this phone or heating back panels. It is a mid -range processor, so you can also play heavy games on it. While using overall phones, you will not see any problem in its performance.

This smartphone of Nathing has a Nothing OS 3.1 based on Android 15, which will give the experience of Near Stock Android. While setting up the phone, you will get the option to choose one of the Nothing or one of the Google UI. If you want to use this phone on actual Google UI, then you will get icons like mango android phones etc. in the phone. At the same time, if you want to use Nothing UI, then you can select OS of Nothing.

I have selected Nothing OS in this phone, which is quite unique. Unicness will be seen from its app icon to widgets etc. Even in the case of software, this phone of Nathing will make you experience blotware free i.e. stock Android. Apart from this, the company has given many customization options in this user interface, due to which the app drawer and interface can be prepared according to their own.

Nathing has also used a 5,000mAh battery in this smartphone like a previous model. The company has provided 50W USB Type C wired charging feature with it. Also, it also supports the 7.5W reverse wired charging feature. The company has not given charger with the phone. I have charged the phone with this charger. It takes 50 to 55 minutes to charge the phone. The battery backup of this phone is good. You can use it comfortably for one and a half to two days after charging it once.
