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.

I am in love with the new Nothing Phone 3a and Nothing Phone 3a Pro. However, the thing Nothing wants me to love the most I could do without.

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.

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.

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

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.
