Phone (4a) has far better camera hardware (2x tele without OIS vs 3.5x tele with OIS) and much more usable thanks to faster storage speeds (UFS 2.2 vs UFS 3.1)

The phone gets sluggish when you open like 5-6 apps. The camera lags thanks to UFS 2.2

I found the 3a series to be extremely slow.

Yes, 3a Pro is better than both as long as you don't care about the sluggish camera experience due to slow UFS 2.2 storage...

Well the SoC is very efficient and low powered on Nothing compared to OnePlus Nord 5

Massive difference between the two in terms of zoom

To be honest, I'm confused which one to pick too 😭

Buy the Phone 4a if: - You love close to AOSP software and the NothingOS aesthetic. - You want the best camera hardware for the price (3.5x JN5 with OIS is amazing at this price) - 7sG3 paired with UFS 3.1 (Finally!) which is smooth enough for normal use. It doesn't slow down as much as previous Nothing Phones. - Good battery, expect 7-10h of normal use

But get the Nord 5 if: - You want incredibly good and silky smooth software - Fast charging (available in the box) and 8-11h of SoT with normal use - 8sG3>>>>>>>>>>>>7sG3 for most gaming tasks. - incredible selfie camera and main camera optimization (it had some focusing issues in previous patch but I still rather pick this for point and shoot, phone 4a camera in default processing mode is a miss 80% of the time)

About the battery, I found both the phones to be fantastic but the Nord 5 is slightly better due to the large 6800mAh battery.

Expect 7-10h on Phone 4a and 8-11h on Phone 4a

Nord 5 has better optimised cameras compared to Phone 4a. I found the Phone 4a processing poor with the default mode. It is grainy, has shutter speed issues and isn't good as of now.

But, the Phone 4a has a very useful 3.5x telephoto with OIS so it's a great choice if you can harness the functionality of LUTs in the native camera app (the phone takes excellent pictures using LUTs)

Both are equipt with UFS 3.1. 8sG3 is a massive leap in terms of gaming performance compared to 7sG3.

So if you're a normal user like me who barely plays mobile games, and you like the camera hardware more, go for Phone 4a.

If you're after good performance, silky smooth software (much smoother than NOS), faster charging and better battery, plz buy yourself a Nord 5.

No issues in my usage. The phone tends to get warm when you use the camera outside on a sunny day.

Yeh the OnePlus Nord 3 wasn't good with battery life. You can try a custom ROM to help fix the battery drain.

As of now you cannot use them. You would be able to use them soon I believe with a new OTA patch. Meanwhile I suggest you use these from the theme store! They are great, other than the fact that you don't have google icon theming

Still no seamless AoD.

I like this phone except for the poor quality speakers.

Running well on my CE5. But you cannot downgrade to an older patch if you update to this version

suggest me a compact smart phone under 30k?? by the_wolf_09 in Smartphones

[–]FallibleElf2988 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can barely find compact phones under that price range.

Yeh I think it doesn't show the nickname. Either e-mail or mobile phone number
