Zac 🛸 Hey, I wanted to ask if you could help with something regarding the Nothing Phone (3) series and Phone (4a) Pro cameras.
If you have access to a Pixel 7 or Pixel 8, could you try taking some photos/videos with both phones in the same conditions? Especially difficult situations like:
- Bright sky + dark subject
- Backlight
- Indoor + bright window
- Night/low light
- Portraits and skin tones
- Moving subjects
- Zoom
- Video stabilization
- Low-light video
- HDR/high-contrast scenes
I’m asking because I feel that even though Nothing has capable camera hardware, the processing isn’t always able to compete with older Pixel phones in difficult situations.
For example, the Pixel 7 is from 2022, so I’m not expecting the 4a Pro or Phone (3) series to compete with the latest Pixel generation. I mainly want Nothing to make better use of the hardware they already have.
I don’t think adding more camera features should be the priority right now. Things like HDR, exposure, colour science, white balance, detail processing, noise reduction, autofocus, stabilization and consistency between lenses could be improved.
If you notice similar issues, could you also raise the feedback through Settings → System → Feedback / Tips & Feedback and, if possible, share original samples on Nothing Community?
You can also post your comparison there. Real examples from different users would make it easier to show Nothing that this is a processing issue worth improving.
And if your experience is actually good, please share that too — the goal is to identify the situations where the camera needs improvement, not simply say that the camera is bad.
