            Charger speed -who cares if you charge in 45min or 65min? You seriously consider 120W proprietary brick useful? Going to carry it with you or reserve a power socket for this Chinese device??
            The rest is the same - memory speed, usb speed-mean nothing if you have hyper os on top. Plain fact.
            Or best camera sensor , bus software postprocessing like 14t series or 15 ultra, which turns the face of Xiaomi CEO into wax muppet...

            So.. yeah, it's more than just reading marketing stuff. Don't get me wrong -samsung is the same, but.. compare really Apples to apples and not apples to "artificial apple qualities"

In India one could get a realme gt 6 for $400 which has a flagship lyt 808 sensor same as in oneplus 12,13 and xperia 1 vi. The telephone is worse and so is the software but the processor, ufs 4.0, lpddr5x ram, charging speed, 120w charger in box and the victus 2 protection makes it a better alternative for a cheaper price than 3a pro

                            as if using ufs 2.2 wasn't bad enough they even had to use a samsung main camera sensor
                            ..............

                              Nothing's claim for battery cycles seems to be incorrect mostly..
                              My 2a battery down to 90% after 340 cycles and that too with conserved charging pattern (not topping up above 80% and calibrations time to time)

                                remi, 05 Mar 2025Design has gone downhill since the Nothing Phone (1).who cares about the design, the real issue is the anemic performance

                                  The more i look at the blue 3a and black 3a pro the more i get fond of it, its actually pretty cool design:p

                                    Anonymous, 05 Mar 2025It is not Samsung priority either. Ngl phone is never Samsung's priority. Profit is, however.

                                        Other than the NPU gains on the 7s Gen 3 which might have been crucial to developing the Essential AI feature, they could have moved the MediaTek 7350 to the base 3a.
