Phone (3a) Pro Teardown

The Nothing Phone 3(a) Pro’s design is what truly sets it apart. In a world where smartphones have become predictable, Nothing brings a refreshing change. Its unique aesthetic makes it stand out, proving that tech can still be exciting. Thank you, Nothing, for making innovation fun again!

I’m looking forward to the upgraded camera system. I love macro photography and the 3x optical zoom and 60x ultra zoom sound amazing. I just hope they live up to the hype!

Rob I’ve recently bought the 2a plus phone, so I’m new to the community but the brand is not new to me. I’ve known Nothing since its launch.

As for my favourite component in the 3a series, I don’t have one because I don’t really understand the technical aspects, that you have explained in this thread. But I can have an educated guess that they are an improvement over the previous generations. Since I do not have a favourite component or a spec, I’ll you what I don’t like in the phone that I bought.

1. I find that customisable things in the phone are limited. For instance, I cannot change the font, or have 2 different ring tones for 2 different sim cards, cannot have multiple pics as rotating wallpapers…… etc. Personally, this is a bit frustrating.
2. There is no in-built or proprietary notes App from Nothing.
3. The gallery app from nothing does not have editing options. What is up with that? I thought it was a bare minimum these days. I can’t even crop the picture.
4. No charging brick in the box. I don’t understand why Apple or samsung does this but every other company in the market provides a case, charger, screen guard.

Now, I know that the things I said are being also reported by other users as well, but what do not know is when Nothing will do something about the said issues.

I understand wanting to be exclusive or premium like Apple or samsung. But do you really want to be just like Apple or Samsung? Or do you want to be better than them? Just something to ponder about.

Sorry for being the paragraph man in this comments section

Imho, Nothing went all out with the build quality. The 100% recycled aluminum midframe not only looks sleek but also feels sturdy and eco-friendly. Plus, the 2.5D rear glass panel adds a premium touch compared to the plastic backs of older models.

Rob Reason why i fell in love with the nothing phone is because of the uniqueness of its design and glyph lights, no other brand has these types of specific features as same as nothing, including its clean and customizable os!

Really curious about Essential Space and future features!!

I loved the design of Nothing (3A) Pro. Really very unique and attractive. If we hold in public we will definitely have many Head turned towards the phone and we may also see people approaching and enquiring about the phone. Definitely Design the best Part as well as my favourite Spec/Feature. #Nothing(3a)proNothing Phone Series

My favorites are definitly the glyph interface and the camera system!

Would love to try the camera system, especially the periscope camera !

Rob

Rob it’s definitely the periscope camera for me

Rob

I really like the essential button it’s like everything out together organised and managed by ai like you Don even need to set a reminder if you leave a voice that remind me at this time I have to do something it will remind you also when you take a photo of an airline ticket or any ticket which has some details on it it will also remind you of the place that you were supposed to go without the need of setting reminders this is so awesome about the nothing 3a, I hope they bring something similar to this for the nothing 2a too

essential space and periscopic zoom i really love these feature and spec . me using phone 2 hope essential space feature or app comes to older phones.

Rob ngl i like that this one has a Snapdragon chip.

From what i have seen they are more supported for niche stuff like installing windows

I’m intriged to try the Periscope lens, would be the first time for me to have a new phone

Love the details on the internals of the phone. My favourite feature has to be the new periscope camera, the quality at range looks absolutely awesome!

Rob I love the design of this phone!!

I love periscope camera and design of Nothing (3A) Pro. Camera was a really good upgrade, willing to try it.

I love the design, it’s really unique! And of course the camera, especially the periscope lens. I would love to try it!
