Nothing Phone (3a) 256 GB - mobile phone with 32 MP front camera, 30x ultra zoom, 50W fast charging and 6.77" FHD+ flexible AMOLED display - Black

Great phone, works well. Really nice screen. Packed with Ai treats. Phone calls clear and precise. The white colour looks really good. Fingerprint recognition works really well, no complaints. Battery life is excellent. Worth the money. Recommend this product.

I've always been intrigued by Nothing and now I have one I couldn't be more pleased. For the price it's fantastic phone smooth and elegant. The heft is nice and it is really premium. The glyph though is nice, though the be honest after a while you hardly noticed it. Camera isn't bad and with some tweaking the pictures can come out really great

Purchased to replace a nothing phone 1 as the security updates were ending. Excellent display, long battery life, very customisable without the need to download things from Google play, good amount of storage and feels and looks really nice. If you don't want to be like most other people and own a Samsung this is a very good alternative. I was lucky and saved almost 100 pounds as it was on offer and cheaper than the 3a non pro version. If not on offer l would not have spent the extra to get a better camera , and been just as happy with the 3a version. There is 6 years security updates from nothing so no worries for a while. The battery is replaceable which is good to know. The phone is not lightweight and feels solid. If you are not a fan of flashing glyph lights they can be turned off. I personally do not find any faults with this phone.

Summary This is the best phone to get under £400, and even beats phones outside of its price bracket (looking at you iPhone SE!). This is the coolest phone I’ve ever used, and I would happily use it if I wasn’t already using a flagship phone. Nothing - please make a flagship version of this phone that looks the exact same! Build Quality This is the coolest looking phone I’ve ever held! The back of the phone is an eye catcher, and the display isn’t too bad either. Picture is clear and colours are punchy and accurate. Refresh rate is a smooth 120hz, and it didn’t dip at all in my experience. Performance Despite having a mid range processor, this phone is smooth in day to day operation. I didn’t have any hiccups even when installing all my apps on first set up. The phone didn’t even get hot! Only place it did lag a bit was processing multiple photos at once. Battery I didnt use this phone a whole lot to get an extensive idea of what battery life is like, but it came out of the box with 55% at 11am, now it’s 5PM and after setting up the phone, taking photos, listening to music and browsing TikTok it’s on 40%. That’s really impressive in my mind! Only downside here is that it doesn’t have wireless charging. Sound quality The speakers on this are insanely good - why has no one mentioned this in reviews before? IMO it sounded better than my iPhone 15 pro max Cameras The cameras are really, really good for a mid range phone. I wish the ultra wide was a higher megapixel and the zoom was a bit more but otherwise I was REALLY happy with the photos that came out of this!

Great phone . Holds it's own within the mid range market. The camera is great and I have had no issues with any pictures I have taken or videos. Does not lag in any way , is very responsive and the latest update adds a whole load of new customisation which gives it all a very fresh experience. The display is very clear , great for viewing movies or social media shorts.

The Nothing 3a is a big phone that has a big all day battery (never got it under 40% in a day). The display is great, and the under screen fingerprint reader works perfectly. The phone comes with a screen protector already fitted, a SIM tool and a cable but no charger. It's really snappy and fast to use. The Nothing OS launcher on top of Android has many neat tricks, features and widgets, plus their own design aesthetic that carries over in to the handset itself. The glyph lights on the back are a bit gimmicky but you can make them do a few useful things. The camera is as good as pretty much any for most pictures and has some nice features like the ability to import your own filters. One thing in particular I've noticed too is the quality of calls over WiFi - really good. This is quite a bargain, especially when stacked up against big name competitors at a similar price. It is large but easy to get used to.

I rarely review items, but this phone has surpassed my expectations. I'm coming from a OnePlus 7t Pro which was top of the line 6 years ago, but now a geriatric case needing lunchtime and evening top-up charges just to make it through the day. The Nothing 3a is a breath of fresh air. I use my phone, a lot. I work in IT so it's constantly on the go. I'm currently on 33% battery and last charged 36hrs ago. Camera is great, phone is quick, and easy to use. Knockout feature for me is the essential space app, I took a picture of some handwritten notes, it transcribed and summarised them, then added appointment to my calendar. It's a massive timesaver. Downside is now my wife wants one.

Great phone for the price, great battery life. I would advise anyone looking for a new phone to consider getting a Nothing phone. I have always had Samsung phones, but this phone is as good as, if not better than, at a much better price.
