Both gigantic phones, at least offer different sizes. Dont see the point of pro model. This is bigger than most flagship ultra phones.

Great design and good software, dependable cameras. Great competition for A56.

Luke, 04 Mar 2025the prices are competitive and combined with 12/256 setup, ... moreOther than the 3a having 12GB ram which the A56 should have had, I still think the A56 is better. Better chipset, better more expensive design and glass used. More support. I'd argue better front and rear cameras which the exception of the periscope lens. Better screen too. Yes the loss of the SD slot and the tiny 8GB isn't welcome but the rest of the package is decent and it will come down in price to the 3a Pro level and Nothing phones don't tend to budge price wise.

indlvarn, 04 Mar 2025Only 3 years of major OS updates is too few, should be 4-5 ... moreDo you really plan to use A series more than 2-4 years?
I use A52s 128/8 for 3 and a half years and want to change it this year cos I already notice less battery, lags, freezings.... And it's A52s - it was like unicorn back then.

The main camera on the 3a has no OIS but the 3a Pro does? Bit of a cop out. Are the camera modules on the 3a Pro really worth 50 more? The 3a Pro is dangerously close to a A56, which will probably be the same price on sale.

the prices are competitive and combined with 12/256 setup, those will kill Samsung A56 sales. Good job Samsung, I'm glad you will be punished for the vague attempt to boost S24FE and S25 sales by nerfing A56 to the ground.

What version of UFS memory does it use?

3a looks like a pixel phone, 3a pro looks just plain unfinished. These aren't good value phones but I have a feeling they'll conveniently sell out in 20 minutes as usual bc the people that like this brand are just as bad as iPhone users but don't realise it.

looks fine on paper but their mediocre camera processing and this horrendous design, alongside the lack of micro sd card/headphone jacks means that these phones just aren't that special. The Phone 3a got a selfie cam downgrade so it's not as great as the phone 2a imo. As a result of all this, they don't have a unique selling point and the sheer value has dropped somewhat despite being a newer gen product. The chipset upgrade is a welcome one but im confident that no one was complaining about speed but a lack of additional features/the polish of the cameras in these phones. The telephotos look really solid on paper tho but they dont have the processing required to take advantage of that, making this hardware a meaningless improvement compared to others. A more balanced camera system would've been better but i'll wait for samples.
So yeah, pretty disappointing. You could say, this is a whole lot of nothing ;)
im being a bit pessimistic but in reality i think these will have a spot in the market considering how poor everyone else is in comparison but idk man, just with 2 cheap features like microsd card and headphone jack, they can skyrocket their phone in value and make these the new value champs. If you don't have these features you better provide something really good as an alternative.

Let's see if the 8MP ultrawide can do the job. And see if battery can hold with that APU.
Anything below the phone (2a) plus would be considered a downgrade. Subpar battery and subpar ultrawide is absolutely not worth a telephoto that nobody uses.

Only 3 years of major OS updates is too few, should be 4-5 years at least. Samsung A56 will have six.

Similar price and specs as realme 14 Pro+, thats means more expensive than A56 or open boxed S24 FE.

Helios-BrZr49, 04 Mar 2025I like it, I'm just not a fan of their low memory sto... moreI've just checked out some camera samples and the ultrawide doesn't support 4k recording, and the colour shift while changing between all 3 lenses is so horrendous. Absolutely right in not calling it a flagship killer

Similar specs and price as Realme 14 Pro+.
Battery is 1000mah smaller but Nothing UI is more battery efficient.
Overall both have very similar stuff to offer.

This is such great value for money. It's my new value flagship. Now just gotta wait for the reviews to see if the phone can deliver on what the camera hardware promises.
