Our take

Is it any good?

The Phone (3a) represents Nothing's core value proposition in the crowded sub-₹25,000 tier. At ₹24,999, it is crafted for everyday users tired of cluttered Android interfaces filled with intrusive pre-installed bloatware, offering instead a clean, cohesive user experience with distinctive back lighting.

Its spec sheet delivers where it matters most for daily use. You get Qualcomm's Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 processor, a bright 3,000-nit flexible AMOLED panel, and a dedicated 50MP telephoto camera alongside the stabilised 50MP primary shooter. With 50W wired charging, an IP64 dust and splash rating, and full NFC for tap-to-pay, practical essentials are covered.

The catch is the omission of hardware stabilisation on the telephoto lens, which remains limited to electronic stabilisation, and the lack of a bundled charger in the retail box.
