It feels like you have to compromise so much for a 500 dollar phone. Sucks, had potential but the more I read about it, the less I want it.

    Battery is trouble so will skip it

      telephoto camera performed well. The photos no longer have that overprocessed look of phone (2a), thanks to snapdragon's ISP. Battery life is a bit dissappointing, but not bad overall.

      I expected a bit more info on Essential space with comparison to Google Keep and Notion. Anyhow I guess no one is going to buy the phone for its Essential space feature.

        Anonymous, 14 Mar 2025Nothing and pixel reviews never made sense, I have no proof... morePixels are clearly better phones though, so it's natural that they get better reviews than some phones. What don't you like about Pixels?

          Even though I like this phone and want to buy it, I feel the review is too biased. They made no mention of the UFS 2.2 storage and LPDDR4X RAM being used and that it uses a mediocre chipset for the price

            "the Pro model just seems like the more interesting device of the two very identical devices."

            Nothing (no pun intended) can be "very identical". Things are either identical or they're not. In this case, they're not identical, as they have different cameras and designs.

              The charging speeds of Galaxy A54 and A55 are fake here on site. From the beginning, my a54 never had a full charge before 1 hour and 20 minutes.

                Camera island shape and colorways on 3A Pro are close enough to reminds me with SE W700/W800, just missing the retractable lens cover

                    British that acts like chinese oems.

                    6.8" , their favorite screen size
                    Lying about charging speed
                    They had device with 766 and 890 ( used by oppo, vivo )
                    Ugly
                    Ugly circular cam bump

                      This device deserve better soc, something like dimensity 8300. Btw, battery endurance is reduced a lot. If Nothing phone is a must, go for 2a which has basically same user experience for much lover price.

                        Mills, 15 Mar 2025Redmi K70 Ultra at Giztop is less than 400 euros. There... moreit's not really his opponent, K70 Ultra is a fast performance centric phone and Nothing is a cheap camera phone.

                          Redmi K70 Ultra at Giztop is less than 400 euros. There's better alternatives to this 3a Pro but if you want it, get it and be happy with your purchase.

                            that camera bump is thicker than I thought, Realme 14 Pro+ looks thinner.. well rounded phone and its opponent Realme, perform good in review.

                              Orientalvetiver, 14 Mar 2025What do you mean?I've seen a couple of youtube videos saying the new update nuked battery life. And older phones like the 2 and one are neglected.

These are terrible phones but get good reviews.

                                    SoC in this device dooms it to be an entry device. No matter how nicely it's dressed up with the design and telephoto camera.

                                    They should have at least put in a 7 gen 3 but ideally 7+gen 3 or 8s gen 3.

                                      This phone provides such terrible value for money, so much that it makes the infamous iPhone 16e seem like a much better deal now.
