Phone (3a) Pro – What no one tells you

I made the Phone (3a) Pro my primary device in this week, and here’s my sincere feedback. At the end, I’ll include a pros and cons table as a summary. 🔲 D...

So the new button cannot be remapped? What a shame!

Palmix Art 🇮🇹

J_rgLippmann Nope (at least for now). I thought the same, but if you analyze it deeply, what will you do that you cannot do with a widget on the lock screen? 😜

Palmix Art 🇮🇹 There is actually a very important use case: As the nothing phones unfortunately have no alert slider, this could be a good replacement. I like the possibility to put my Oneplus-phone into silent mode discreetly, in the pocket, without looking at the screen. A long press on this button could do the same (with a short haptic feedback for silent mode and ringing mode).

Would be much more helpful than that screenshot-reminder-thingy, which could completely work with a widget.

J_rgLippmann That’s interesting! Although in that case, I always loved the apple switch button

SudharsonJ Well, I think it depends of your needs. Do you put in first place photography? That’s definitely your sign to switch to 3a Pro! But if you are comfortable with the 2a plus right now, I will wait then

KushPatel1605 Yeah, gallery app is available and I found it very simple and easy to use! The weather app, someone recived the update, but me for example, I still waiting for that

cheeseburger Thanks so much!! I’m really happy that it resulted very helpful to many of you! 💪🏼

Does OS 3.1 get functional gallery and new weather app?

That’s a very detailed and well-structured review. The breakdown of design, performance, and camera improvements provides great insight. The discussion on weight, bezels, and the Essential Key adds valuable perspective on the user experience. It’s clear that Nothing is making bold design choices while refining functionality. This review will be very helpful for anyone considering the (3a) Pro.

Could you have a look what audio codices (AptX,…) the 3a Pro supports, please?

SudharsonJ

Wight i think nothing 2a plus has a pretty good hardware setup and true lens 3.0 will come other models of nothing soon

As of now there is no camera upgrade for 2a plus users so i think true lens is on the way soon
