Nothing Phone 3a sample gallery: Impressive features for the price

Photo: Abby Ferguson British tech company Nothing released its Nothing Phone (3a) a little over a month ago, promising its "most advanced camera system to date." The Phone 3a lineup is the company's budget line, which includes the base 3a for $379 and the slightly more advanced 3a Pro for $459. Those prices are pretty impressive considering the features and specs of both. The Phone 3a's 24mm equiv. main camera and 50mm equiv. telephoto camera both offer a resolution of 50MP. However, the camera app defaults to 12MP. If you want 50MP photos, you'll need to go into the settings and change it each time you open the camera app. There's also a 15mm equiv. ultra-wide camera, though its resolution is even lower at 8MP. Beyond the basic camera specs, the Phone 3a offers the various camera modes you'd expect on a smartphone, including Portrait, Night and Pano. Nothing's default camera app also features a few presets, including one called Soft Focus for portraits, a B&W Film preset and the more unique Lenticular preset. You can create your own presets based on settings you typically use or import presets as well. Nothing sent over the Phone 3a, which I've been shooting with for a few weeks.
