Description

The Nothing Phone (3a) 128GB White 5G is a mid-range smartphone with a unique look. Thanks to the transparent back of the Nothing Phone (3a), you can see LED strips of the so-called Glyph interface. The LED strips flash when you receive a notification, or show the charging status of the battery, for example. With the cameras on the back of the Phone (3a), you can take razor-sharp photos. You can even zoom in 2 times with the telephoto lens without your photos becoming less sharp. On the 6.77-inch Full HD screen of this Nothing smartphone, you can watch videos in high quality. The Phone (3a) is suitable for average use. You can send messages, watch YouTube videos, or play light games. Thanks to the large 5000mAh battery, you can easily reach the end of the day with average use. Charge the battery with a separately available 50W fast charger. The 128GB storage isn't very spacious. Choose the 256GB version if you need more space, like for large apps.

The coolest smartphone out there!

There are no nicer smartphones for me.
Great value for little money.
Very good sound.
A bit large in size.

I fell head over heels for this quirky device because of the cool back and the shell with the special functions. Where reviewers start with the camera, I start with the sound because a smartphone is first and foremost a phone. That sound is not shrill but deep and beautifully veiled. The monochrome shell is great, nicely minimalistic. This smartphone is still in development so that extra essential button at the bottom right will certainly get more functions. I already received a special Nothing update in a week. By the way, this is a stock Android with a Nothing shell around it, so you don't get any annoyware. On the home screen you have a do not disturb button and a button where you can read your daily screen time. The device may be a bit bulky but you get used to that. I don't see myself going back to old loves anytime soon. If you want better photos, take the Pro. I charge it once every two days, and that goes quickly, so that battery is really fat.

Great phone, screen is very scratch-sensitive

Speed
Ease of use (takes some getting used to Android Nothing OS)
quality screen

For years I have been using Nokia phones because they had a clean Android installation without applications. They no longer make them. Now I have switched to Nothing Phone. A UK based company, deliberately chosen for European production. Android with the Nothing OS skin over it takes some getting used to, but then: the design of the icons, the groupings: it is fantastic! I don't take many photos, but the quality is also very good. What I am disappointed with is the sensitivity to scratches of the screen. Despite hardly using it and carefully putting it down in the first few days, a new small scratch appeared on the screen every day. It took a while before I received the protective cover and screen. I have never experienced this sensitivity to scratches with phones before.

Do not buy, known problem with camera

Photos are not good

I wouldn't recommend this one. I bought it for the good camera, but while using it, I noticed some issues. I looked it up, and it turns out it's a known issue. It's a real shame, and I already regret my purchase because I bought this phone for the camera. If you try to take multiple photos in a row, it suddenly stops taking them; it adjusts the photos afterward. You think, "Oh, nice photo," you look at it, and you see it being adjusted, often to a worse version. So, it's really bad for taking photos of people. Sometimes their eyes look really strange after the adjustment.
