NOTHING Phone (3a) 5G 256GB (Blue)

Nice and smooth to use have not had a problem definitely recommend for the price

2 stars is purely for the back of phone breaking in less than a week not even enough time to have received a case, the back of phone is that slippery it can't be left on the smallest angle this slide off my bed and hit side table ( obviously didn't put on a complete flat surface) the fact the side table wasn't even a 10cm drop it hit the corner which caused it to pretty much shatter, wouldn't say the back is plastic or glass more of a cheap perspex, speakers aren't that crash hot other than the camera difference this phone computer wise is extremely good.. disappointed about back of phone for the price

Reasonable phone at best. Hardly any software support at all Don't expect regular security patches to keep your phone safe only released every 2-3 months

Good enough phone for the price. However it has an additional button on the side for the "Essential Space" app. This is take a screenshot and then have AI breakdown whatever was on screen. This button is very easily pushed so if you like your privacy and don't want your screen constantly watched over by AI, it would be best to avoid this phone.

You're going to read a lot of reviews from tech websites that call this the best value 'budget' phone, particularly for the quality of the camera. But my 4 year old OPPO had much the same specs as this does, was $130 cheaper half a decade ago, and wasn't infected with the forced gimmick tech that makes this phone worse to use. The camera, for instance, is a joke. It forces a bunch of post-processing on photos after you've taken the photo and saves this altered image over the photo you thought you were taking. You cannot turn this off, so you will never know what the final image you're taking will look like based on what you see in the view finder. I emailed them about this and they said it couldn't be turned off, that it downscales the resolution so the viewfinder is more responsive, and said I should "focus on the final image instead". So to take a good photo on this phone, you need to see into the future and imagine what it might look like after the software decides for you what needs to change. This isn't advertised anywhere because would you really buy it if you knew? I've never heard of a camera completely removing the choice of the user to decide what the image will look like. That choice is the whole point of a camera. It's insane. The 'telephoto lens' is a 2x zoom that blends pixels to give you a resolution of 12.5MP, not 50MP as advertised. Anything above 10x is a digital zoom that, again, forces godawful upscaling on the image and saves over the original, turning any recognisable image into a smeary soup. There's also the 'Essential Space' button that lies where your right hand sits. It takes screenshots that you can add notes to, and then supposedly uses 'AI' to sort the screenshots. Unlike the normal screenshot feature, it takes you off whatever you're looking at into a separate window, and if you don't tell it to save the screenshot it deletes it. It's such a weak concept that no-one asked for that it's clear the only reason they spent the money to integrate a dedicated button for it was desperate bandwagon-jumping. It's in a place you can't help but click by accident, and you can't reassign it or turn it off because they know you'd turn it off the second you had the chance. It's not just pathetic, but, like all the points of difference of the Nothing 3a, you're paying extra for a nuisance feature that makes the phone worse to use. So the two defining features of the Nothing 3a is that the camera alters your photos without giving you a say and saves over the originals, and there's button on the side that accidentally fills your phone up with screenshots of your lock screen. I dislike this phone more than any I've ever owned.

Best phone I've ever had slick and smooth its fast and responsive

Very pretty phone. I've only had flagmans before, but I love this one so much. It sorta reminds me of iPhone 4S. Snappy and easy to type. The screen is perfect too. It lacks the macro camera from the pro version, but I still prefer this one because it just looks better and is more comfortable to hold.

The NP3A is really solid, great battery and smooth performance. Sometimes apps have to reload when they are in the background but for the most part I'm very happy with this phone. Camera isn't too good, it does the job but it isn't great. Recommend this phone to people on a budget

Coolest phone I’ve owned since the dawn of the modern mobile phone. Refreshing and inspiring. After having an iPhone for 10 years this is the phone the that got me to switch it up. 10/10

This is great Budget Phone... Pros: Distinctive Design Vibrant Display Capable Camera System Clean Software Experience AI-Powered Features Fast Charging Improved Durability Cons: No Wireless Charging Limited Water Resistance Mid-Range Performance No Included Accessories But still Great Phone at this Price!

Everything is good about it but I would add a camera bump like the Google pixel 8 pro instead of a circle.

Over priced Android phone, $200 - $350 at most. Crashes regularly with everyday apps such as banking and other bill paying apps (sensual apps) Charging is weird, sometimes it charges normal or not. Sometimes this phone opens other apps without you being present. But I do know this, if this phone plays up just simply restart the device. On average I restart it at least twice per day. Camera is average And you will experience lag while texting. If you have charging problems it works best turned off while charging.

I've been using this phone for a little over a week now, with no major issues or concerns, I have been very happy with it so far. The Glyph interface is cool and relatively useful to use, the design of the phone is just fantastic. I haven't run into any stability issues or lag despite quite heavy usage at times. I'd highly recommend this phone to anyone looking to move away from IOS or generic Android OS's.

Came from an s22 ultra that I had since release. This phone is outstanding. So quick. I love the way everything is set out. Everything about it just makes sense. The design is cool. I wanted white but they only had black in stock so black is what I got. This phone is everything I want and need. Love it. Bigger screen then my s22 ultra for a quarter of the price. I'm always gonna get nothing phones moving forward. Amazing

I like this phone because it is cheap and it has ai features

Listen to me ok, My brother recommended this phone to me and I had doubts at first. I am glad to tell you I have never in my life experienced a phone this good. Everything loads in quickly, it is user friendly, and it is literally better than apple. Do not judge till you try. This phone is affordable, low maintenance, and charges quickly, + it doesn't lose battery as fast as the normal apple phone. Seriously this phone is suitable for any age. I guess there is NOTHING that is better quality than the nothing phone 3a. In my opinion I think that it's the best phone ever. I'm happy that I purchased this phone and I bet you, you would also be shocked by this phone.

Moved from iPhone 16 and this was a little heavier than I like and I deeply miss MagSafe, wireless charging and Apple News but otherwise this phone is great. Fast, camera works great for me, essential space is actually a great and helpful ai feature that doesn’t scream YOU ARE USING AI. Phone has excellent battery and transferring everything wasn’t as hard as I expected it to be. The software is kind of basic and stripped back which I love as I don’t feel overwhelmed by using my phone happy with this phone. Android auto is ugly to look at so be ready to taste your own vomit.

Bought this phone from JB Maribyrnong Home, thanks to the help of Harvey working there that day. I have switched over from an iPhone 12 and what I can say is that it is a massive difference in terms of battery life and speed. For the price you pay for this phone you would getting an amazing deal, with 12 gb ram incapability to be boosted up to 20 gigabytes of RAM with the ram booster. Pretty decent camera as well, and the glyph system is really cool. I highly recommend this phone
