Buying Nothing Phone 3a from Amazon India - Issues?

Hello Nothing community, this is my first post here. I am not sure if it is the right place to ask this, but I've been trying to purchase a Nothing Phone 3a Blue 256GB in India. I am aware that Flipkart is the "authorised reseller", but they are unreliable, untrustworthy and is full of scams and shady practices. Their exchange program is a massive scam. Their customer support is horror stories. I would rather not buy it from them. The phone is also available on Amazon and I am planning to buy it from there. Amazon is straightforward and transparent and even gives a 7 day replacement guarantee while Flipkart does not. Can be there any potential issues on buying it from Amazon? I am pretty sure the devices will be genuine. My question is if the warranty will be honoured? Amazon says that "1 year warranty" will be available. Does anyone have an experience of buying Nothing Phones from Amazon? (Croma does not stock Blue in my city and their website also does not have Blue 256GB available). Any help will kindly be appreciated. Please help out a new member to the Nothing family.

vadakkus I will recommend don’t go with nothing at all as a 2a user I had a bad experience with 2a multiple issues in display, camera, network but nothing is not providing any solution I would recommend go with iqoo 10r or Nord 4

James_bond I personally do not like Chinese bloatware. The main reason I am looking for Nothing is that I can absolute not compromise on the clean Android experience. I was using Android One Nokias until now so absolutely cannot go back to laggy bloatware.

vadakkus avoid Amazon as I said order from Flipkart or croma offline/online store would be good

James_bond

vadakkus then but moto and you can delete or disable the bloatware apps in Chinese phones

Bro if you want you can buy from Croma, I got mine 2A from one of the outlets.

vadakkus

ParulPal Thank you but Croma does not stock the Blue one. Apparently they won’t get the stock is what they told me. The biggest Croma in my city had only 10 pieces delivered: 5 White (all 128GB) and 5 Black (2 of them 256GB). Not even a display piece. Clearly improving physical sales isn’t on Nothing’s radar.

vadakkus i got phone 3a from amazon, it offered 10 days of replacement so i bought it, its been 5 months no issues its an genuine product from nothing.

JafferSathick you have the phone but there is no warranty for it as you bought it from Amazon

JafferSathick

Samarth97 i guess not cause in amazon they have little lower price and in there they’ve mentioned
3 plans

Add a Protection Plan:

Screen Damage Protection for 1 year for ₹1,149.00

Extended warranty for 1 Year for ₹849.00

Total Protection Plan for 1 Year for ₹1,199.00

if you don’t choose neither, of-course you won’t get any warranty. but its lot lesser price than the ones sold in flipkart. if not for nothing 3a it seems reasonable for nothing phone 3.

JafferSathick it’s not genuine listing…there are many posts on twitter about phone 3 sold on Amazon is unpacked phone… you might get scammed and loose your money… there are always exception…for nothing phones don’t trust amazon..go for Flipkart…there is also open box delivery available on every phone… i ordered 8 phones and 2 laptops from Flipkart and never got any issues …

I also bought cmf 1 from Flipkart at 12800INR on sale…

vadakkus you will not get same display issues in 3a like on 2a series.np2a uses Ltps amoled display.these display is from samsung and have green tint and other issues.np3a comes with Ltpo amoled which tends to be safer.I can say it because My nothing phone 2 also have Ltpo display and using about 2 yrs no complaints.

Amazon is not safe to purchase nothing, because they are not official sellers.choose only ‘cash on delivery’ with Flipkart on any product,they are not trustable with any pricing.
