Nothing Phone 3a Pro is different and breaks the mid-range mould – Quick take

The Nothing Phone 3a Pro certainly has one of the most polarising back designs I’ve seen on a phone so far. While it retains most of Nothing’s signature transparent back aesthetic, including the Glyph lighting interface, the camera module is where things get interesting. It’s not symmetrical. In fact, some might say its layout is almost unusual. The camera lenses lack symmetry, and the new periscope lens is undoubtedly the highlight—significantly larger compared to last year’s Nothing Phone 2a.

Beyond that, several additions make it a much more complete product—at least from what I’ve observed in my first week of testing.
