Nothing Phone 3a series: Details

 

Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 3, the Nothing Phone 3a series features a 6.77-inch AMOLED display with a 1080 x 2392 resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. Both smartphones are powered by a 5000mAh battery and support 50W wired charging.

 

In the imaging department, the smartphones offer a triple-camera set-up at the back, with a 50MP primary camera featuring optical image stabilisation (OIS) and autofocus. They also include an 8MP ultra-wide-angle camera. The primary difference between the Phone 3a and Phone 3a Pro is the telephoto camera. The Pro model features a 50MP periscope set-up with 3x optical zoom, while the base model has a standard telephoto camera with 2x optical zoom. The Pro model also includes a 50MP front-facing camera, compared to the 32MP sensor on the base model.

 

Running on Android 15-based Nothing OS 3.1, the Nothing Phone 3a series offers several artificial intelligence features. The most notable is the new "Essential Space" platform, accessible through the dedicated "Essential Key" button on the side. According to the company, this AI-powered hub is designed for capturing, organising, and managing notes, ideas, and inspirations. The button allows users to capture and send pictures or screenshots to Essential Space, record voice notes, and more. The feature can recognise images, audio clips, and associated text, automatically sorting them.

 

Another notable AI feature is the Activate Smart Drawer, which automatically categorises and organises apps in the app drawer.
