1
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
We're kind of late to the party,
and well, honestly,

2
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
we've went abroad
that's why our review

3
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
of the Nothing Phone (3a) Pro
was late.

4
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
This is the premium variant
in the Nothing (3a) series,

5
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and this was released 
with the (3a).

6
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Except that in the Philippines,
it's released a bit later.

7
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3

8
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
with a Samsung GNJ 50MP
main camera sensor.

9
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Its selfie camera sensor
is also 50MP

10
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
which definitely, I'll say,
is very good.

11
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And this one comes together
with three major Android updates.

12
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
More details after 
this quick intro.

13
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(introduction music)

14
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Now, the Nothing Phone (3a) 
that has 12GB of RAM

15
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and 256GB of storage
is currently priced

16
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
at Php27,999
and you can buy this

17
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
in Digital Walker,
online and offline.

18
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I'll post the link
on the description box below.

19
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Now, this phone is available
in two colors—

20
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
either you go for the black
or the white color.

21
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And another thing is that
this one supports eSIM.

22
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And of course, don't forget
this one comes together

23
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
with its glyph interface
which is one

24
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
of my favorite features here.

25
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Another good feature
is its Nothing theme

26
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that's all black for the icons
which I think is very unique

27
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
on its own.

28
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And it's very uniform.

29
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The only thing is that
you'll have a hard time

30
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
where the Facebook icon is
because you won't

31
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
easily identify it 
since they're all the same.

32
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Like with these logos,
you'll see the logo

33
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
of Genshin Impact,
Call of Duty Mobile,

34
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and Farlight 84,
you won't be tempted to play

35
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
because they're all black
and white.

36
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
You don't know which is which.

37
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Resists temptation.

38
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
One of the good things with it
is its beautiful design.

39
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I love the glass finish
on the back

40
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and its transparency
is very nice.

41
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Its design on the camera bump
is kind of different

42
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
which is very unique on its own.

43
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And it also has plastic
side frames that's a matte finish

44
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and a Panda Glass 
front protection.

45
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Its bezels are not that thin
but it's symmetrical,

46
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
up and down, and left and right.

47
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And it has a special button
on the side.

48
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
If you press it,
it'll take a screenshot

49
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and you can record 
the sounds here and attach

50
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the voice messages
on the screenshot

51
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
which is very useful for me.

52
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It's a very unique feature
that's present

53
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
on the Nothing (3a) Pro,
and also available on the (3a).

54
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Before we continue,
of course, I just want

55
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to invite you to subscribe
to my channel so you can see

56
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
our review of the CMF Phone 2 Pro
pretty soon in our channel.

57
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And of course, don't forget
to hit that notification bell

58
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
as well.

59
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
One of the things that's okay here
is that this one

60
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
is being powered by the Qualcomm
Snapdragon 7s Gen 3

61
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
which, for me, is quite
a good midrange chip

62
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
which was able to roughly give me
a 780,000 points

63
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
on AnTuTu Benchmark.

64
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
This is the score that I got
when broken down.

65
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Its loop score is 1,060
on the Wild Life Extreme

66
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and 99% stability.

67
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
This is the score I got
on Geekbench CPU benchmark

68
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and on the GPU benchmark.

69
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Its thermals are looking good
and it throttled to 90%

70
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
of its best performance.

71
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Now, its battery here
is a 5,000mAh of battery

72
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
which I think is just normal,
nothing special,

73
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
it's not that big.

74
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And 5,000mAh
is almost industry standard.

75
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Normally, you'd want to have
a bigger one like 5,500

76
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
or 6,000mAh.

77
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
But this one is just ample enough
for a whole day of usage,

78
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
supporting up to 50W wired charging

79
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
without a charging brick inside.

80
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
You have to buy it separately.

81
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I would suggest you buy something
like Anker or UGreen.

82
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
On a day-to-day usage,
I can say that

83
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3
is very power efficient.

84
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And it can last you maybe
around 1.5 days

85
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
before this phone fully drains.

86
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Using this as my main daily driver
while I'm working,

87
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
it can last for 1.5 days
based on my experience.
