Verdict
I have to say that I think my Samsung S24 Ultra takes the win on this one, as even though the Nothing Phone (3a) Pro comes very close, the image quality just isn’t on par, as you can see when zooming into the crisp details of the images. However, one area where the Nothing phone really shines is with the Macro camera and the front camera in portrait mode, and I really enjoyed getting to test out this new camera phone. Also – that’s a pretty tempting price!
