Nothing Phone (3a) (Black, 128 GB) (8 GB RAM) Review
Hello friends, how are you all? Today in this video we have got this new smartphone of Nothing, Nothing 3a, which is the successor of this Nothing 2a and in almost every aspect it is much better than this Nothing 2a and a new essential key has also come in it, I will also tell about it, there are more than 40 features in total, if you are interested in this phone, then watch the video completely and tell in the comments which feature of this phone you liked the most, first of all talking about the display, in this also
you get a completely flat display like Nothing f 2a, the entire display is inside the frame, the bezels are a little big but it is uniform, so the display looks good, by the way, it has Penda Glass protection on it, both in the front and in the back and its display is a 6.77 inch full AD plus AMOLED display, I tested it, the colors etc.
are coming out quite good, it also supports 10 P, it goes up to a peak brightness of 3000 tz Which has become much better than 2a, by the way there is also a refresh rate of 120 Hz, so you will feel quite smooth and you get this in-display fingerprint sensor in it. In this phone you get Always On Display disabled by default, so in the settings, if you go inside the lock screen, then below you get the option of Always Show Basic Info, enable it for the lock screen and your AOD will be enabled in this way.
If you want to customize it, then again you have to go to the settings and inside the customization, you have to go inside the lock screen here, whatever customization you do for the lock screen, the same will be shown on your AOD as well, like here if you see, as soon as I added widgets on the lock screen, the same widgets are visible to me on the AOD as well.
In this phone you can generate wallpaper with the help of AI. By long tapping on the home screen itself, if you go inside the customization, then here there is an option of AI More Wallpapers, you have to go inside the wallpaper studio and here you just have to select combination. You have to select the wallpaper you want or if you click on surprise me, the phone will select two random options and create a nice wallpaper for you.
Now before telling you all the other details, I will tell you some of its unique top 10 features which you should definitely use in it. It also has glyph lights or essential key, so I will explain everything to you. First of all, let’s talk about this essential key. If you are doing anything on the phone, browsing or watching some videos, at any time if you press this key, the phone captures a screenshot.
You can also add a note with it and save it. Similarly, if you press and hold it, you can also save a voice note and whatever things you have saved, you can see them together inside an essential space and the phone tries to surprise it with the help of AI. For example, if you have captured a news article, the phone can create a summary of it and give it to you.
Or if you had made a recording and there was a to- do item in it, the phone can setup that too and give it to you. This Essential Space also has its own widget. If you go inside the widgets, here below you will find the widget of Essential Space. It has three options. If you setup this upcoming widget, then if you have added some reminders in it, then it keeps creating an automatic list of them.
Another great feature in this phone is shared widgets. There are many great widgets in this phone, but you can share some widgets in this phone with your friends or with anyone who is using a Nothing phone. Like if I have added a widget of photos, then there is an option to share here. If I enable it, then I will get a link which I can share with another person and the same widget will appear on that phone as well.
If I ever add another photo or change the photo, the same photo will be shown on both faces. You will also get some other AI features in this phone. Now we go to the Circle to Search feature, which has a Circle to Search feature. You can just long tap the navigation bar on any screen and select the thing you want to search in this way, the phone will find its information from the entire internet and give it to you, like here it was Nothing 3a Pr, so it is telling me some information about it.
This phone also has some AI features in the gallery, if I want to make a cutout from any photo, then I can just long tap in this way and you will see that this phone makes cutouts very well or if I want to erase some things from the background, then I can just go inside Edit and here is the option of Magic Editor which I can use or I get many more options here inside Tools.
Now a very good feature of the Glyph Lights in this phone, I find the essential notifications, if you go inside the notifications inside the Cliff interface, then you can set up essential apps here and whenever a notification of that app comes, then this one will appear. Your light will always remain lit.
Another useful feature in the Glyph interface is that of ring tones. If you want to enable different glyph patterns for different people, you can do that with its help. There are many different options given to you here. There are different ringtones and there is also a different glyph pattern for that. So if I get a call, I can see from the pattern of the glyph whose call it is.
There are many other features here, like if you set up a timer, that also keeps showing inside the glyph. You can turn on the volume indicator. If you increase or decrease the volume, that will also show in the glyph. There is also a glyph progress feature, if you have used it, you get that whenever you play music, the glyph keeps playing in sync with it.
By the way, another interesting feature for the glyph is the glyph composer. If you want, you can create some glyph lighting and ringtones of your choice. There are many different sounds here. You can select any sound from here, after that turn on the recording and make this ringtone as per your choice. Accordingly, these glyph lights will also keep getting enabled and disabled and you will be able to make a customized ringtone.
If you want to use the glyph as a torch, the option for that is also given in this phone. You get this option just below the flashlight. The glyph gets permanently on and you can also use the glyph as a flash inside the camera. Whenever you are using the rear camera, tap this flash.
If you tap once more, the flash torch will turn on. If you tap once more, the glyph light will turn on. Now look, the biggest feature of Nothing Faces is the UI of this phone. In this, you get Nothing O 3.1 which is based on A15 and if you see the same, you will get the whole experience. There is not a single bloat war app. No notifications, useless ads etc.
come and even Its animations feel very smooth and refined. Another great thing is that you will get 3 years of Android updates and 4 years of security updates. Now, since this phone comes with Nothing O 3.1, there are many more new things. If you see the cool panel, it has changed a lot from before. Now it also supports light mode.
And if you go inside the edit, you can reset many icons in this way. Even this silent switch is something I personally like a lot. Basically, if you want to silence the phone or put it on vibration or ring mode, you can do that with its help. And now if you look in the settings, the dot font that used to be there has also been removed.
But if you want to bring it back, then here in the special features, you will find the option of dot matrix title under experimental features. You can enable this customization. So, there are many more things in this phone, like if you want to enlarge, you will find the option of dot matrix title under experimental features.
You get options as to what type of folder you want to create or if you want to enable a cover, then in this way you can set up emojis for your folders, which looks very cool. Even this phone has an icon pack of Nothing, which looks very cool. You will find this icon pack inside the icon pack under customization.
In this phone, you can also customize the app drawer very well, like if you use an app more, then you can select it and pin it, it will always show you on top here or if you tap on these three dots, then you also get a smart pop door, after which in this way all your apps are converted into different categories and you may find it easier to find apps.
By the way, floating windows also work very well in this phone, you take any app to recents, tap here and click on popup view and in this way your popup view gets enabled, you can reselect it from here if If you want to make it bigger or smaller or place it anywhere, you can do that here.
If you swipe down in this way, you can take it to full screen or you can minimize it to the side by tapping here. You also get the latest 100 hand mode in this phone.
If you go inside the settings, under the special features, under the gestures, you will find the one hand mode. If you enable it, you can move the entire screen down by swiping in this way, then it becomes very easy to use the phone with one hand.
Another thing I noticed is that in this phone you have to go to googleapis.com and you are on any call, you just tap this recording button and your call recording will be enabled without any announcement or tone. By the way, there are some other good gestures in this phone.
If you go inside the gestures again in the special features in the settings, here you can enable a gesture for double press power key. Along with that, press and hold.
You can also do some different setup on the power key and you also get some other gestures here now if we talk about the performance of this phone then you get snap7 s z3 in it which has improved a lot compared to the 2a if I talk about its nt2 score then it is coming above 8 lakhs for me it has been optimized very well day to day when you use it no matter how many apps etc you use you will feel a very smooth experience even if you go to bgm.
com then here you get an option from within which you can enable the performance mode so that you get better gaming performance and a separate gaming dashboard is also available within which if you want to do screen recording then you can do it if you want to enable fps counter there is also an option for that now if we talk about its speakers then you have been given dual speakers in it there is no support for labs atmos etc nothing phone 2a also did not have any labs atmos support but its I actually found the speakers to be quite good.
I compared the pricing with many phones and found its speakers to be better than 2a. So the sound quality is no doubt good. Yes, if I had dual-band Atmos etc., it would have been a little better. As for the haptics motor, I used the normal vibration motor, but it works fine.
By the way, the battery in this phone is also something that has not improved much compared to 2a. You also get a 5000 AA battery in it.
