Nothing Phone 3a Pro review: funky mid-ranger with real zoom camera

Transparent back, flashing LEDs, novel design, long battery life and huge triple camera help this Android stand out

London-based Nothing has brought one of the last things setting top-level phones apart from cheaper mid-range models down to a more affordable price: high-quality camera zoom.

Cameras have long been the battleground of the most expensive phones, each vying for better quality, longer reach and multiple lenses. While much of this costly progress has trickled down to cheaper models, optical zoom cameras are few and far between below the £600 mark.
