Phone (3a) Pro

Considering the price tag being so low, the phone performs simple functions well, and quickly - like face unlock, app switching, camera etc which even some flagships would struggle to emulate. This is a phone that is stripped back to what is important; and those things are done well.

This is a phone without the gimmicks that justify selling a kidney in order to keep it running.

Don't be fooled into thinking this is a budget phone, this phone is the future.

I love the camera on this. Coming from the Nothing Phone (1) with what I thought was actually an incredibly disappointing camera compared to my OnePlus 6, I am finally happy about my phone's camera again. Pictures are sharp and the colours don't feel like they've been overtly post processed.

The battery has been superb, I regularly and intentionally limit its usage to 70% and get through my day just fine. I'm looking forward to this phone lasting a long time in my hands.

Battery life, camera and overall design is good. The OS is sleek, fast and free from bloat. Overall , excellent value for money. I would however like to be able to repurpose the essential key as a camera shutter button instead.

Exceeded my expectations for ease of use. Tech savvy parts and details. I use the essential space everyday. Highly recommend 5⭐
