We're kind of late to the party, and well, honestly,
we've went abroad that's why our review
of the Nothing Phone (3a) Pro was late.
This is the premium variant in the Nothing (3a) series,
and this was released with the (3a).
Except that in the Philippines, it's released a bit later.
Powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3
with a Samsung GNJ 50MP main camera sensor.
Its selfie camera sensor is also 50MP
which definitely, I'll say, is very good.
And this one comes together with three major Android updates.
More details after this quick intro.
(introduction music)
Now, the Nothing Phone (3a) that has 12GB of RAM
and 256GB of storage is currently priced
at Php27,999 and you can buy this
in Digital Walker, online and offline.
I'll post the link on the description box below.
Now, this phone is available in two colors—
either you go for the black or the white color.
And another thing is that this one supports eSIM.
And of course, don't forget this one comes together
with its glyph interface which is one
of my favorite features here.
Another good feature is its Nothing theme
that's all black for the icons which I think is very unique
on its own.
And it's very uniform.
The only thing is that you'll have a hard time
where the Facebook icon is because you won't
easily identify it since they're all the same.
Like with these logos, you'll see the logo
of Genshin Impact, Call of Duty Mobile,
and Farlight 84, you won't be tempted to play
because they're all black and white.
You don't know which is which.
Resists temptation.
One of the good things with it is its beautiful design.
I love the glass finish on the back
and its transparency is very nice.
Its design on the camera bump is kind of different
which is very unique on its own.
And it also has plastic side frames that's a matte finish
and a Panda Glass front protection.
Its bezels are not that thin but it's symmetrical,
up and down, and left and right.
And it has a special button on the side.
If you press it, it'll take a screenshot
and you can record the sounds here and attach
the voice messages on the screenshot
which is very useful for me.
It's a very unique feature that's present
on the Nothing (3a) Pro, and also available on the (3a).
Before we continue, of course, I just want
to invite you to subscribe to my channel so you can see
our review of the CMF Phone 2 Pro pretty soon in our channel.
And of course, don't forget to hit that notification bell
as well.
One of the things that's okay here is that this one
is being powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 3
which, for me, is quite a good midrange chip
which was able to roughly give me a 780,000 points
on AnTuTu Benchmark.
This is the score that I got when broken down.
Its loop score is 1,060 on the Wild Life Extreme
and 99% stability.
This is the score I got on Geekbench CPU benchmark
and on the GPU benchmark.
Its thermals are looking good and it throttled to 90%
of its best performance.
Now, its battery here is a 5,000mAh of battery
which I think is just normal, nothing special,
it's not that big.
And 5,000mAh is almost industry standard.
Normally, you'd want to have a bigger one like 5,500
or 6,000mAh.
But this one is just ample enough for a whole day of usage,
supporting up to 50W wired charging
without a charging brick inside.
You have to buy it separately.
I would suggest you buy something like Anker or UGreen.
On a day-to-day usage, I can say that
the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 is very power efficient.
And it can last you maybe around 1.5 days
before this phone fully drains.
Using this as my main daily driver while I'm working,
it can last for 1.5 days based on my experience.
