Nothing Phone (3a) rumored to have a larger 6.8" screen and a 50MP telephoto camera

28 January 2025
That's a pretty big departure from the previous a-model. In fact, no Nothing phone so far has had a tele lens.

    magnaroader, 29 Jan 2025There are so many false information spreading misinforming ... moreI have only one here and it's basically abused by my son.. no issues. The only one we had was at the beginning when android auto wasn't working. Was fixed with an update within 1 month and that was all. No issues whatsoever.
    Yes, camera isn't great, but we don't plan to print photos and zoom in.. it was 10000 times better choice than any poco or Xiaomi out there by the time we bought it.

    The only thing I'm afraid about next nothing phone flagship is...the price. NP2 was and is still terribly overpriced..

    Midrange NP phones should be ok, if they manage to compete with performance of Poco x7 pro and F7 series, that remains to be seen ...MT Chipsets seem quite good nowadays

      There are so many false information spreading misinforming comments in this thread of comments that I'm seriously perplexed. I own 3 different Nothing phones (2, 2a and CMF phone 1) and none of them have any of these issues people keep bringing up. Source: Literally trust me bro because I own them.
      There are obvious points where I can see they had to cut costs, but nothing (heh) including the camera, is "FAULTY OMG!!!1!"

            I'm interested in a 5.8 in screen

              Hackbox, 29 Jan 2025Mediatek issue.What mediatek issue? They cheaped out on the display panel. They cheaped out on the vibration motor. The digitizer has touchscreen issues. These are hardware they skimped on on purpose to keep a high profit margin. Mediatek has nothing to do with it.

                justasmile, 29 Jan 2025Well they literally just didn't with the 3a.2a has 50MP uw sensor. I don't they will downgrade. like realme do for seflie sensor.

                  Wow a serious downgrade of a smartphone camera to go from 50MP ultrawide, to 8MP one.

                    Hackbox, 29 Jan 2025Nothing is not like realme, iqoo, oneplus, redmi etc. they ... moreWell they literally just didn't with the 3a.

                            The 8mp ultrawide is just awful.
                            Well, let's just see if NP3 and NP3a+ follow the same path.

                              6.8"? Why stop there? Why not 7.4" or 8.6"? I mean why not give everyone a ping-pong racket?

                                No doubt all the main influencers will suddenly be reviewing and hyping this mediocre new phone because they got a brown envelope from Carl Pei.

                                    Using a Nothing phone 2a at present. The display is trash. The camera is poor. The vibration motor is beyond awful. Even the touchscreen is faulty leading to many false touches. The only good thing is software optimisation. Glyph lighting is utterly useless and gimmick. They cheaped out on many basic and important areas and still their asking price is higher than other phones having much better hardware. I don't think they are serious in doing business honestly and only here for a quick cash grab.
