8.6/10 by Shubham Raheja | 05 Mar 2024

Nothing’s proven that once you get the manufacturing in place, you can create a budget phone at an unbeatable price. The Phone (2a) isn’t for the hipsters or someone who just wants a clean UI – it’s for the masses. Its new Glyph lights are minimal and not in your face, it’s powerful enough to challenge some of the more expensive rivals, it’s got a decent pair of cameras, and it can last an entire day.

The Nothing Phone (3a) is a good successor to the Phone (2a) and offers good performance and display experience. The NothingOS is great as usual and the design stands out for sure. The display is also great, making it a perfect sub-Rs 25,000 phone right now.
