The Nothing Phone (3a) has a versatile camera and solid performance at an incredible price -- and it's easily the best phone at the price.

The Pixel 3a series is all set to be available for pre-orders starting March 11, meanwhile the Pro handset already has a new update.

As the Nothing Phone 3a and Phone 3a Pro go on sale, the phones received a variety of both basic and AI-related updates

In fact, for under $500, this is arguably the best phone available, especially for those who value a unique design, a capable camera setup, and a clean software experience. If you want a well-rounded smartphone without breaking the bank, the Nothing Phone (3a) Pro is a strong contender.

Nothing Phone 3a Pro is a unique-looking phone that brings an essential flagship feature to the sub-$500 category.

Pro are here, and at first glance, they seem nearly identical. Both devices sport the signature transparent design, the flashy Glyph LED lights, and Nothing OS 3.1 running on Android 15.  They even share the same Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chipset,

Another peculiar trait is that the Nothing Phone 3a Pro automatically adjusts its shooting at ISO 16,620. That’s extremely high, which I understand is needed to get a brighter picture, but this results in softer details all around. Despite this, the shots are still good in my opinion.

Series is now available for pre-order in the Philippines. The lineup, which includes the Phone (3a) and Phone (3a) Pro, brings Nothing’s signature design, the Glyph Interface, and powerful performance.
