NothingPhone (3a) 256 GB - mobile phone with 32 MP front camera, 30x ultra zoom, 50W fast charging and 6.77" FHD+ flexible AMOLED display - BlackEnergy Label

Awesome awesome awesome. I've had it a few days now. Battery lasts plenty long enough, easily do a tough day of use. Charges extremely fast. Looks awesome, the glyph is far more useful than I thought it would be, especially with the essential notification. It's also a big phone. It's speedy, haven't had it last at all, chrome opens instantly. Haptics feel amazing. Screen is chefs kiss. Ive got theb12tb RAM model and it feels like everything stays openI love the os. Idk what else to say, for £350 you will not find a phone better for that price point, it honestly feels like a £600 to £700 phone, maybe even a flagship.The only issues I've found really is the lowest volume being a bit to loud, the cameras are passable, but not a strong part of the phone and I would have liked more than 3 years of os updates, but for £350, I can't be mad.

I changed my nearly new Moto phone out of desperation, as the battery management was a disaster. After extensive research, I decided to consider Nothing phones. I am absolutely delighted with my phone. The build quality is excellent, with a look and feel akin to an iPhone (but at a fraction of the price). As for battery management, I charge it every other day or so (I am not a gamer, so my demand is fairly low), which is remarkable. I could probably stretch it to two days, but following the appalling experience with Moto, I am overly cautious. The functionalities are similar to those of all Android phones, apart from a couple of apps like Glyph and Essential Spaces, and the ability to record using a side button—though I don't utilise this feature very much. Another advantage is the excellent fingerprint recognition. All in all, it’s an outstanding smartphone that exudes quality and offers exceptional value for money, of course.

As a flagships user since 2014 I can say just buy it.It's not as fast as the flagship phones but it's solid.For the price it's a fantastic looking phone (my one is white), I cannon stop staring at it.It has great almost 6.8 amoled screen with fantastic colours and sharpness, as a bonus you get also sweet sounding stereo speakers with quite good low end.I also like vibration motor, it's tight and precise.Oh yeah and finger print scanner works flawlessly.Phone uses pure android system with no bloatware so it's easy to use. Good battery life and fast 50W charging.

SummaryThis is the best phone to get under £400, and even beats phones outside of its price bracket (looking at you iPhone SE!). This is the coolest phone I’ve ever used, and I would happily use it if I wasn’t already using a flagship phone. Nothing - please make a flagship version of this phone that looks the exact same! Build QualityThis is the coolest looking phone I’ve ever held! The back of the phone is an eye catcher, and the display isn’t too bad either. Picture is clear and colours are punchy and accurate. Refresh rate is a smooth 120hz, and it didn’t dip at all in my experience. PerformanceDespite having a mid range processor, this phone is smooth in day to day operation. I didn’t have any hiccups even when installing all my apps on first set up. The phone didn’t even get hot! Only place it did lag a bit was processing multiple photos at once.Battery I didnt use this phone a whole lot to get an extensive idea of what battery life is like, but it came out of the box with 55% at 11am, now it’s 5PM and after setting up the phone, taking photos, listening to music and browsing TikTok it’s on 40%. That’s really impressive in my mind! Only downside here is that it doesn’t have wireless charging. Sound quality The speakers on this are insanely good - why has no one mentioned this in reviews before? IMO it sounded better than my iPhone 15 pro max CamerasThe cameras are really, really good for a mid range phone. I wish the ultra wide was a higher megapixel and the zoom was a bit more but otherwise I was REALLY happy with the photos that came out of this!

Fantastic phone. Needed a replacement for my pixel 7 but wasn't keen on the current Google offerings, so decided to take a chance with nothing, and I have to say I'm very happy with that decision. Ui and interface are perfect, screen is almost too bright and colours are vivid, text is sharp and very clear. The speakers are a stand out feature I hadn't seen mentioned in many reviews, but if you need to play something loud they can deliver a surprising level of volume. The glyph interface on the back is a good bit of stylish fun, and the build quality is perfect. 10 out of 10 all round.

Why did you choose this product over others?:Love nothing products for a start , and after having the phone two fancied the 3a pro , well built (polycarbonate which doesn't affect the quality, nothings software is helpful and simple) camera is really good all in a great phone to hold and use all day long

The Nothing 3a is a big phone that has a big all day battery (never got it under 40% in a day). The display is great, and the under screen fingerprint reader works perfectly. The phone comes with a screen protector already fitted, a SIM tool and a cable but no charger.It's really snappy and fast to use. The Nothing OS launcher on top of Android has many neat tricks, features and widgets, plus their own design aesthetic that carries over in to the handset itself. The glyph lights on the back are a bit gimmicky but you can make them do a few useful things.The camera is as good as pretty much any for most pictures and has some nice features like the ability to import your own filters. One thing in particular I've noticed too is the quality of calls over WiFi - really good.This is quite a bargain, especially when stacked up against big name competitors at a similar price. It is large but easy to get used to.
