Anonymous, 04 Mar 2025The processors in these phones are an embarrassment. Processors aren't amazing, but they are still very serviceable and are fine for the price. They are a bit more powerful than 2020 android flagships, and while its subjective, IMO that kind of speed is completely reasonable for a midrange device

      "oh you don't own a phone with those features? YOU'RE A HYPOCRITE!"

      You don't understand that just a few short years ago midrangers were the only phones with microsd card slots and/or the headphone jacks and we don't get that even, thus reducing their value proposition. For flagships, i can understand, people with deep pockets can spend more. But people who are forced to buy midrangers due to budget constraints have terrible experiences due to lack of high storage and being forced to use a wireless IEM that's just gonna have terrible battery life sooner rather than later, unless they want to go through the adapter route ofc.

            PatrickCzech, 04 Mar 2025I am not sure. BTW A56 8/256 in promo action now can be you... moreweird indeed.

            Nothing Germany lists 3a and 3aPro as follows:

            3a: 8/128 - 329 Eur
            3a: 12/256 - 379 Eur
            3a Pro: 12/256 - 459 Eur

            A56 8/256 will be available at the start for the price of the 8/128 version so I guess around 480 Euro...Around, because something happened yesterday evening.

            Samsung Germany listed A56 for a while, then took them away (unavailable until 28th of March) so something is definitely going on here.. might be they realized what they have done, lol...

              3 Major Upgrades simply isnt enough to recommend these phones over a pixel 9a.

                    Just went to their US website, WTF?! The pro cost 80 dollars more (both are 12gb/256) and all I get is a periscope camera and better selfie. Not to mention the regular 3a has cooler colors. This is a joke in model structuring.

                      No Qi2 wireless charging... no wireless charge smh

                        Nearly 500 dollars for a phone with a slow cpu and a downgraded wide angle, yikes. 2.2 usb is a slap to the face.

BTW A56 8/256 in promo action now can be yours for 10 990 CZK (465 USD), The great phones with Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 I mentioned previously (including this Nothing phone 3a) can be your for just 13 990 CZK (592 USD). You can also get opened box S24 FE (8/128) for 11 960 CZK (495 USD).

                                The question moves from "why should I" to "why not"?

                                  These phones make no sense. The biggest problem with the Nothing Phone 2a was that the cameras weren’t great, so Nothing decided to keep the main camera the same, nerf the ultrawide, and add in a zoom camera that no one asked for
