Guys Nothing 3A or 3A Pro?

Which one is suggested? Is the camera difference that much to pay extra for Pro variant?

I'm currently using Samsung A53 and how's Nothing as an option?

Phone is great, camera is great. But UFS 2.2 and it's not value for money phone in my opinion. At 25K, also I would not recommend it.

Nothing 3a is fine but there are many other options in market to explore like Vivo and Moto Edge 60 series at this price if camera is the only priority.
Although, if you wanna try UI and flawless flat display go for Nothing 3a there is no meaning in spending too much on Pro.

True, IMO Nothing 3a would have launched at Vivo T4 & Edge 60 Fusion pricing. It would be fastest selling smartphone in price segment.

The latest offering CMF Phone 2 Pro was having great setup but again OIS went missing

What a useless team Nothing is having, all fake hype created around.

Yes.

Guys. Please DO NOT buy UFS 2.2 smartphones above 20k. You might see several YouTube videos claiming that UFS 2.2 is just as fast as UFS 3.1, or even better. But the catch is that, they are testing on new phones with lots of free space.
Once your storage reaches 40-50%, you will face major slowdowns in your day to day operations like opening and closing apps, loading videos, downloading and viewing images, everything.
UFS 2.2 phone will feel fast only 1 year max. After that you'll be frustrated and blame it on the software update or processor. But often the real culprit is the slow storage which is unable to keep up with the forever evolving apps.

UFS 3.1 is must above 15K and for the 256GB storage. You are using same repetitive Dimensity/under-powered chips for 25K, when competition is going for more capable chipset(most possible flagship kind of) and UFS 4.0, it's necessary to give atleast LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 3.1(Atleast above 20K).

Surprisingly, Lava Agni 3 at 15K and Oppo K13 at 17K comes with UFS 3.1

A53 comes with UFS 2.2 no?

I haven't faced much of a problem till today. If not nothing 3A then which one should I consider? I ain't interested in brands like vivo/realme/moto etc and would like to have a good software experience after using One UI for last few years.

Then, my brother, you have no other option. You basically filtered-out 90% of the brands. You are only left with Samsung now.

Yes. Oppo K13 is absolute winner under 20K. If you want better camera and stock Android experience, go with CMF Phone 2 Pro.
