Hi, I bought a Nothing Phone (3a) on sept 2 2025 and received it around 6pm IST
It was my first phone and i wanted Nothing phones badly since the Nothing phone (1) released, didn't have the money for it back then, then I saved up a lot and asked my parents, my parents said they will do an additional 5k on top of whatever I saved, I saved 19k and the phone was around 21k ₹ (221.34$,163.41 Pound sterling) after bank discounts, here's the pros about the phone I feel like
PROS:
• Started using the phone from day 1 and it was very good and I liked everything, the camera, the os and the feel of the phone, i bought mine with 8/256gb option and in blue color, to be honest old phone that I had was around 128 and for me that was well enough, back using the old phone i used to game COD at low setting used to get 40fps, same cod here I get 90fps on high graphics and I've taken care of the phone as if it was my child lol.
• The processor is not overheating, this phone packs a sd 7s gen 3 and yes I know it's a budget processor and i used a way worse phone before this so I mean it's a upgrade (old phone was a samsung m02) i used to beg for it to even open because I had a ton of school work on it, when it died I had no choice but to spend another 1k for screen, then decided enough is enough, bought this phone and life's good
CONS:
• The only con i feel like exist is the battery, i used to get more than a day of soc on my old phone and now I'm only getting half of it even lower when I'm gaming, the battery life should have been improved that's all
Tl;dr
I bought my first nothing phone a year ago and my experience with it is just amazing except the battery
