Nothing Phone (3a) and Phone (3a) Pro Introduced
British company Nothing has unveiled its new mid-range smartphones, the Nothing Phone 3a and 3a Pro, which replace last year’s Nothing Phone 2a and Nothing Phone 2a Plus.
The developers equipped the Phone (3a) Pro with a 6.77-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 2392 × 1080 pixels and an adaptive refresh rate of up to 120 Hz. The panel has a peak brightness of 3000 cd/m² and PWM backlight brightness control with a frequency of 2160 Hz. The fingerprint scanner is integrated into the display area.
The screen is protected from mechanical damage by Panda Glass. The smartphone body protects internal components from dust and moisture according to IP64 standards. There is a hole at the top of the display, in which a 50-megapixel front camera (f/2.2) based on a 1/2.76-inch sensor is installed.
The Phone (3a) Pro is powered by an eight-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 processor running at up to 2.5 GHz. The device will be available with 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage.
The more affordable Phone (3a) boasts the same 6-77-inch AMOLED display as the flagship model. The device’s body also offers IP64 dust and water resistance. It’s powered by the same Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 processor and 5,000 mAh battery.
One of the main differences is the design of the main camera unit. The Phone (3a) has a more conventional arrangement of the main camera modules. The device has a main 50-megapixel 1/1.57-inch sensor with f/1.88 aperture optics. It is accompanied by a 1/2.74-inch 50-megapixel telephoto module (f/2.0) and an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle sensor (f/2.2) with a 120° viewing angle. In addition, the Phone (3a) uses a 32-megapixel front camera (f/2.2).
Both new Nothing smartphones support AI-powered features, and for easier interaction with them, an additional Essential Key button has appeared on the right side of the Phone (3a) and Phone (3a) Pro.
The Nothing Phone (3a) will be released in white and black colors, as well as in a new blue for the a-series. Prices: 329 euros for 8 + 128 GB and 379 euros for 12 + 256 GB. The Indian market will also receive the 8 + 256 GB configuration for 26,999 rupees.
