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.

And when I put this
on the PCMark battery stress test,

it gave me 18 hours
and 19 minutes of screen-on time.

And this one is being tested
under 50% brightness

and 60Hz of screen refresh rate.

This Nothing Phone (3a) Pro
is long-lasting.

When it comes to display,
this one has

a 6.77-inch AMOLED display.

It has 120Hz of screen refresh rate

and its maximum brightness
is 3,000 nits.

It's protected by the Panda Glass,

this one will give you
a good swiping experience

be it on your favorite 
social media apps

like Facebook, Twitter,
and of course, TikTok.

And when you swipe here,
you'll feel that

your experience is smooth here

as long as your 
internet connection is good.

When you watch movies
on this phone,

expect your experience
to be okay

because the beauty
of its display,

its AMOLED screen is definitely
one of the better ones

that Nothing used.

Expect that your viewing experience
will be good,

giving you your money's worth.

This phone has two stereo speakers, 
one on the bottom

and the other one is hidden
on your earpiece.

Let's listen to how loud it is
when we max it out.

(HANDS UP by MEOVV)

Honestly, its sound is not bad.

I would say it's above average
for me, but nothing near

the flagship level sound.

But it's not bad.

When it comes to gaming,
I played three games here.

We've played Delta Force,
Call of Duty Mobile,

and Farlight 84.

On Delta Force, this is quite
a new game for me,

but I was able to get
a hang of it already.

And playing for around 30 minutes,
my experience was okay

with it.

Putting it to the graphic settings
that it can handle,

I would tell you that
the experience was not bad here.

I was able to enjoy this game,
having quite a good sounds here.

Its touch response was okay.

I didn't feel any lags here.

And after 30 minutes
of gameplay, 36°C.

On Call of Duty Mobile,
expect your graphic experience

will be good here,
there's no doubt about that.

And I did play quite a number
of BR matches here

and to be honest with you,
I enjoyed here.

Playing for roughly an hour,
I really enjoyed it.

The touch response was good,
the graphics was good,

I didn't feel any frame drops.

And the hottest temperature
after one hour of gameplay

was 36°C.

On Farlight 84,
I also maxed out its graphics.

My experience was also okay.

I didn't feel any frame drops
while running.

And especially when there's
many enemies on the field,

it's still fine.

You won't feel that 
it has frame drops or lags,

I didn't feel anything
while playing the game.

And one thing I liked about it
is that its screen

is very responsive 
on my every single touch.

After 30 minutes 
of gameplay, 36°C.

Let's now talk 
about its camera here.

One of the things 
I was surprised here

is its camera performance.

I would say, and I was 
so happy with the output

that I got on the Nothing (3a) Pro,
which I'm happy

to share to you.

And it starts off with 
a 50MP main camera sensor

with OIS.

This one is a Samsung GN7 sensor.

Followed by a 50MP
periscope telephoto lens

with OIS with up 
to 3x optical zoom.

This one is a Sony LYT600 sensor.

And there comes the 8MP
ultra wide lens

which is a Sony IMX355.

This one can let you shoot
up to 4K and 60 FPS.

And its front-facing camera
is a 50MP Samsung S5KJN1

which can let you shoot
up to 4K and 30 FPS.

Now probably one 
of the better cameras

that I've used 
from the Nothing (3a) series

is the Nothing (3a) Pro.

And taking a look 
at these shots from outdoor,

I love the way 
how this shot was captured.

It is just a very simple shot,
just a quick snap.

And we can see that 
this building looks very sharp.

Its details look good.

And how this shot was captured
looks very dramatic.

It's kind of got like
a vignette effect

and it gives you 
that melodramatic feel

on this shot.

And this is another good shot.

Even if it's kind of gloomy,
we can see it looks

pretty nice and solid as well.

If you're just simply 
panning around,

you can get some nice shots
on this camera.

Equally nice for this shot.

I can tell you that 
it's not that saturated

and this can be a good post
on Instagram

because of the beauty
of its green shade.

And this shot is from another angle.
It's still beautiful.

Now taking a look
at some of these flower shots

that we got, it looks really nice,
it's very solid.

You can see the details
on its leaves.

And if you're trying to take
other colorful flower shots

on outdoors, expect it
to give you a really nice

and detailed shot here.

Capturing another building shot,
and you can really see

that the details are good.

Now trying to play
with the different lenses,

this is an ultra wide shot,

normal,

2x,

3x,

6x,

and this is a 10x zoom.

We can see it's digitally zoomed
but it's still okay.

If you're asking me 
how many times it can zoom,

it can zoom up to 60x zoom.

When it comes to video,
it can give you up to 8x zoom.

When talking 
about food photography,

there's no doubt in my mind
that this camera

can definitely perform.

You can see all of these shots
that we captured

on the food...

And this is probably one
of my favorite shots that I got.

It really looks nice,
these greens for salad.

And looking at some 
of these other food shots

that we captured,

even its halogen yellow bulb,
it still performs well

under this camera.

Taking a look at some 
of these shots of the LED lights,

it looks pretty nice and solid.
