Is it any good?
The Phone (3a) Pro was Nothing's first attempt to pack periscope telephoto glass into the sub-₹30,000 bracket. Priced at ₹29,999, it caters to photography enthusiasts who want genuine optical reach rather than digital crop tricks, wrapped in Nothing's transparent styling.
On paper, the imaging package punches above its weight. Both the 50MP main camera and the 50MP periscope zoom feature optical image stabilisation. Backing them up is Qualcomm's Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chipset, a 3,000-nit flexible AMOLED screen, 50W fast charging, and full NFC for tap-to-pay functionality.
The compromise lies in the secondary camera and packaging. While the primary and periscope cameras impress, the ultrawide drops to an uninspiring 8MP sensor, and the retail package does not include a wall adapter in the box.
