  • Pros
  • Vibrant display
  • Clean OS
  • Good cameras
  • Solid battery
  • Cons
  • Bulky design
  • No charger in the box
  • Verdict

The Nothing Phone (3a), like its predecessor, stands out with its unique design in the sub-Rs 25K segment. It offers a tall, vibrant display and one of the cleanest OS experiences, which many users will appreciate. The camera performance is also reliable, and the Phone (3a) holds up well against some notable competitors and its predecessor. However, its distinctive design and latest hardware additions add to the thickness, and hopefully, its future iterations will become slimmer.
