Perspective
A notable addition is the "Essential Key," a physical button that allows users to capture screenshots and record voice notes quickly. This button integrates with the "Essential Space" feature, which utilizes AI to organize content such as screenshots and voice memos, enhancing user productivity.[4] Phone 3a and the 3a Pro ships with Android 15. Nothing claims to provide up to 3 years of Android upgrades and extended security support to 6 years.[5][6]
Compared to the Phone 3a, the Phone 3a Pro features an upgraded primary camera sensor.[7] It only offers 256GB of internal storage compared to the base model's 128GB and 256GB options. Additionally, the Pro variant includes a more premium aluminum frame, distinguishing it from the regular 3a, which uses a polycarbonate build.[8]
The device is equipped with a versatile camera system that includes wide-angle, ultra-wide-angle, and a zoom lens with 3x optical magnification. The camera generally delivers sharp images with natural colors, especially in good lighting conditions and with stationary subjects. However, performance may be negatively affected in poor lighting or when shooting moving objects, where stable handling is required.[9]
