When I got the opportunity to create a video for the Nothing Phone 3a & 3a Pro launch party, I knew it was going to be a special experience. Having previously attended the Nothing Phone (2a) launch, I was excited to be back.

Unlike the Phone (2a) launch event, I had to shoot the entire event with a device I had never used before. a challenge, but also the perfect test for the phone’s camera capabilities.

Like last year, I was busy running around the venue to cover everything on the (3a) Pro. As I explored, it was great to see so many familiar faces from the Nothing community. The space was set up beautifully, embodying Nothing’s signature minimal and striking aesthetic. The energy was high, with over a hundred attendees, all having a good time.

Shooting with the Nothing Phone (3a) Pro turned out to be a smooth experience. The periscope lens stood out, the natural bokeh and ability to focus the subject much closer made my job to shoot much better; especially in the low-light conditions of the event space. From close-up shots to wide crowd captures, the phone delivered crisp and detailed results, with much less noise compared to Phone (2a) . Kudos to the Nothing team for all the improvements in the camera system.

I got a chance to catch up with Deepanshu, happy to see him as part of the team now. He made sure I was comfortable at the venue and managed the event well. Big shoutout to Varoon for helping me get around and showing me around Mumbai.

Once the devices were in everyone’s hands, it was great to see their excitement as they shared their first impressions and explored the new camera and features. It was an unforgettable experience, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to document it.

Big thanks to the Nothing community for making this such a memorable event!

    Rahul Exploring Mumbai with my favorite community member was an absolute blast! The Nothing community truly feels like home, and our conversations about your work, Nothing’s vision, and the future were incredibly inspiring. Can’t wait to go on another adventure, capturing moments and testing new devices along the way. A phone walk soon whenever possible sounds perfect! Looking forward to more deep dives, creative shoots, and unforgettable experiences! 🙌🏻

      Rahul Honestly for a moment i thought it was shot using a professional camera, until i saw that it was shot from the P3a Pro. This says alot about the work that went behind the cameras, the processing, the detailing, the color accuracy and so on. Its a safe bet that the P3a series undoubetdly is a huge success, atleast from the camera perspective that a lot of users were criticizing Nothing since the P2 launch. Well done @Rahul The video is spot on as always!

        Nice one Rahul, once again you did an amazing job of capturing the day and bringing us along with you - almost feels like I was there! And the fact that this is on Phone (3a) Pro shows how the cameras (and you) really shine. Looks like a great event and everyone had fun! 🥳

        Hoping to hear from some attendees, sharing their experience and photos with us in this thread 🙏

        As I wrote on X, Rahul you have created magic again! 🔥
