          yeah i even think like that
          3a is better than 3a pro in value beacuse the real difference is some additions to the camera and the price difference isn't that simple but the real question
          who buy nothing phones for the camera ?

Processor speed is determined by more than their frequency and type of cores.

                      why get the phone (3a) when you can get phone (2a)+ for less money?

                        Cpt.Power, 23 Mar 2025Both looks good but i am waiting for aflagship model hope ... moreIf it comes, it will probably have SD 8 gen 3, Sd 8s gen 3, SD 7+ gen 3, upcoming SD 8s elite, or maybe dimensity 8400... But definitely not SD 8 Elite, but price will be much lower, 750€ max from the start.

                          Both looks good but i am waiting for aflagship model hope it will come with SD 8 gen Elite and a least 120W charging speeds and 1TB disk space along with at least 16GB ram.

                            Better to have the latest tech.
                            Forget benchmarks, they're useless.

It's not like it has insane performance either, since my 5 year old Note20 with exynos 990 gets similar numbers in geekbench 6.

                                The difference between the pro and non pro is just the zoom, that makes it an expensive feature to say the least, plus I'm not sure people are buying nothing phones for their cameras.

                                I feel like nothing is similar to poco, you get a lot of hardware for the price but it's camera is not it's strong point.

                                    That pro model puts the U in ugly.

                                      To me 3a pro looks much better and more premium but 130€ difference just for one camera and different look I think its not worth it. If you can buy it on contract you wont look at that price difference cos it's gonna be a small difference in monthly payment. But if you gonna pay it once in cash or card, thats a big difference to pay just for one upgraded camera and a better look. Looks of the phone is again my opinion and someone like the new look of the pro and someone doesn't.

                                        I think it's not only the price, but also the looks of the 3a pro with a very big camera island. A bit unique and unusual look to say the least
