Phone (3a) Looks Slick, But Why Are We Still Rocking 2022 Hardware

I got my 3a yesterday. But not sure if we can call 3a’s hardware is in 2022. 3a feels a lot smoother and faster in every single task compare to how it feels with 2a. Maybe we expect something out of 3 with more top tier premium specs. 3a managed to show that everything doesn’t have to be extreme or ultra for everything. The phone has enough power for the tasks and it works better than I expected.

This is a solid phone.

I have seen on YouTube the difference between A2

And there is not much, the camera would more say

sh0ck Maybe ultra-level Camera and powerful AI feature like everyone else. But do they have to? 3 comes in reasonable pricing for its tier. The design will be great. AI … in smartphone experience is not that great. So do we have to really expect some gigantic value? Why 3 can be just good-looking and fast enough 3 with some good camera?

sh0ck DDR5, ufs 3.1 etc might come with Nothing phone 3.

I’m on a 2a and yes technically there are better phone in this tier as there are better phones than the 3a and 3a Pro.

My use case is decent camera, good but uncluttered ui, decent fast screen, good design land decent updates. In all these areas my 2a fits the bill well.

I want not just a run of the mill phone but something a bit different.

I could be tempted with the 3 if the spec and price is right

I would like to see a Nothing Phone with a Dimensity 9400 or newer with 16GB of RAM or more, a decent GPU for 120Hz light gaming, two physical SIM’s, a microSD card slot that doesn’t share with the physical SIM slots, and at least 256GB of USF 3.1 storage or better. A 50MP 130 degree + ultrawide camera and a 50PM 5X optical zoom camera. No selfie cam or under the display so it doesn’t ruin a nice and vibrant 6.8″ 120Hz screen with over 450 ppi. Carbon or graphite battery around 5500mAh battery, USB 3.0 or better, and a nice copper vapor chamber for cooling you can see through the back of the device. 80 Watt wired fast charge and 45 watt wireless fast charge as well with a plug in the box. Complete US and Canadian network and band support, including mmWave. I would love to see a carrier partnership with T-Mobile USA for a magenta edition as well.

That would be my ideal Nothing Phone.
