Nothing Phone (3a) and (3a) Pro announced with SD7s Gen 3 and telephoto cameras

04 March 2025
The Phone (3a) series brings solid upgrades this year.

Sort by:

A 512GB Pro model with faster UFS would have been the move to make, especially as the camera is a big selling point. Storage fills up super quickly when taking lots of pics these days.

    is there any successor to the Phone 2?

        But hey, I'm pretty sure that 99,99% fanboys in the internet are not getting paid. They will just defend their favorite company even though they know they're defending the wrong thing.

          Snapdragon 695 hater, 10 hours agoAgree with this comment as well as your previous comment. I... morei wouldn't mind the loss of sd cards at all if they supplemented it with higher storages at the same price. But no one's doing that. We're getting stronger, more powerful and longer lasting phones with less storage than in the past. And the higher base storages are just an illusion as the storages cost the same as before, it's just that the lower pricing tiers have been removed. A Note20 Ultra could've been gotten with a 512 GB storage and a 1 tb sd card could've been added for a 1.5 tb combined storage, a 5 year old phone outdoing modern phones in being "Ultra".

          This is completely unacceptable yet people just eat it all up. I can kind of forego this storage thing if the phone has exceptional value in other places such as battery, charging or cameras and the modern day Chinese Ultras thankfully are fulfilling that role to make up for the deficiency. It's still crazy to me that we're touting 8k recording and RAW/UltraRAW photography yet there's no 1.5-2 TB storage option. I thought 1 TB would be base for Ultras by now but that's not the case.

          And i can live without headphone jacks, all im saying is that these features ADD value, despite costing little to the manufacturer. These greedy companies aren't gonna do it tho, they're gonna MAKE you upgrade storage tiers and force you to use their bluetooth headphones and these mindless consumers/shills will eat it up as "get with the times old man". The world's a proper circus now lmao

          And yeah bro, the Phone 2a was bonkers good and with newer deals, it just makes the newer phone irrelevant.

They don't lol so it's just a very weird product.

                  403 Forbidden, 10 hours ago"Just move on and accept the change." ahh response.accepting change is good, accepting being duped is not.

                  Unfortunately the modern day audience loves being duped by companies. Be it in games, graphics cards, phones or a streaming service, the modern day consumer is just a mindless paypig for companies and not only that, they also shill these companies like their brother owns it, when in reality they're being sucked dry and used up by these companies. A really sad reality that we have and 1984 seems to be some utopia compared to what we're seeing now.

                    jiyen235, 10 hours agoforgive me for asking for better value phonesAgree with this comment as well as your previous comment. I would love to see a return of the SD card and headphone jack unfortunately smartphone manufacturers are not making a return anytime soon and I've had to make that compromise by buying a Nothing 2a.

                    It's crazy how they're making 1.5tb SD cards on the market which are rendered useless as smartphones don't have a slot for them!! 🤦‍♂️

                    Considering the state of the economy and how prices keep rising every year for devices the prices could be much worse especially considering our rant on the new Moto G Power which is overpriced garbage compared to this! It would have been great to see the Nothing 3a base model priced at £300.

                    Then again if you're a basic user and don't need the latest and greatest you could probably get a Nothing 2a for a good price below £300 which is still a solid phone after a year.

                    I think 10 years ago having a flagship processer really would give you solid performance but now that phones under £300 can give you solid performance no one needs the latest and greatest anymore. It's like all the new drama surrounding the iPhone 16e. It's just better to get last years model 2nd hand if you can get one for a solid price and you'll get way more features.

                                  DarlingYext, 12 hours agoCool, but did they basically gave up on their flagship series?They might release it July this year, I guess. Other companies should follow 'em by releasing their flagships per 2 years.
