Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Nothing Phone (3a) Pro worth buying?
Yes, the Phone (3a) Pro is one of the best value mid-range phones in 2025, particularly for photography enthusiasts. The 50MP periscope telephoto with 3x optical zoom is genuinely exceptional at this price point, and the glass back and 50MP front camera make it feel considerably more premium than budget competitors. It is worth buying if camera quality and build materials matter to you.
How good is the Nothing Phone (3a) Pro camera?
The camera system is the Phone (3a) Pro's strongest feature. The 50MP main sensor with OIS captures detailed, natural-looking photos, while the 50MP periscope telephoto delivers clean 3x optical zoom shots and usable results up to around 10x. AI processing extends zoom to 60x for distant subjects. The 50MP front camera is one of the best selfie cameras at this price, with 4K video recording and Ultra HDR support.
What is the difference between the Nothing Phone (3a) and Phone (3a) Pro?
The Pro upgrades the telephoto from 2x optical to 3x periscope with 60x AI zoom, switches the front camera from 32MP to 50MP, replaces the plastic back with glass, and costs £120 more at £449 versus £329. The processor, battery, charging speed, display size, and main camera are identical between both models.
Does the Nothing Phone (3a) Pro support wireless charging?
No, the Phone (3a) Pro does not support wireless charging. It charges via USB-C at up to 50W, reaching 50% in around 25 minutes and a full charge in approximately 72 minutes. Wireless charging is available on the flagship Nothing Phone (3).
Is the Nothing Phone (3a) Pro waterproof?
The Phone (3a) Pro has an IP64 rating, which means it is fully dust-tight and protected against water splashes from any direction. It can handle rain and accidental spills, but it is not rated for submersion. For full water submersion resistance, you would need the Nothing Phone (3) with its IP68 rating.
How long will the Nothing Phone (3a) Pro receive software updates?
Nothing promises three years of major Android OS upgrades and six years of security patches for the Phone (3a) Pro. This means you will receive Android updates through approximately 2028 and security patches until around 2031, keeping the phone secure and up to date for years.
Should I get the Nothing Phone (3a) Pro or the Nothing Phone (3a)?
If you value camera quality, the Pro is worth the extra £120. The 3x periscope telephoto captures noticeably better zoom shots than the 3a's 2x lens, the 50MP front camera is a significant upgrade over 32MP for selfies and video calls, and the glass back feels more premium in hand. However, the standard Phone (3a) shares the same processor, battery, display, and main camera, starting at just £329 — making it outstanding value if zoom photography and selfie quality are not priorities.

Based on main-sensor size (1-inch / 1/1.3" beats 1/2.0"), telephoto reach (periscope > 5x > 3x optical), image processing tier (Apple Pro, Pixel Pro, Galaxy Ultra, Honor Magic Pro, Xiaomi Ultra), pro video features (ProRes, Apple Log, Dolby Vision), camera-partnership branding (Leica, Hasselblad, Zeiss) and OIS. Older flagships are de-rated since image processing pipelines have advanced significantly each generation. Megapixel count is deliberately downweighted — it correlates poorly with real-world camera quality.

Based on battery capacity (mAh) adjusted for platform efficiency calibrated against NotebookCheck, Tom's Guide, GSMArena and CNET reviewer tests. Apple A-series gets +45% (iOS process freezing + LTPO 1Hz + tuned panels make iPhone Pro Max outlast many 6500+ mAh Android phones in measured tests). Top Snapdragon / Dimensity flagships get +15%, budget chipsets are penalised −15% to −25% to reflect less efficient displays and looser background limits. Charging speed is excluded — see the separate Fast charging tag for that.
