Ahead Of Nothing Phone 3a Launch, Check Rival Samsung Galaxy S23 FE; Price, Camera, Chip, Battery

When two feature-packed options go head to head, choosing the right one can be tricky. So, ahead of Nothing Phone 3a launch, we take a look at the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE and highlight the big differences. At the outset, both the Nothing Phone 3a and Galaxy S23 FE are solid smartphones with great cameras, smooth displays, and of course, powerful performance. We break down what the Nothing Phone 3a may offer on launch (based on leaks and analyst expectations), to help you decide their key differences.

While the Galaxy S23 FE features a pretty large 6.4-inch screen with a higher resolution (1080 x 2340 pixels), the Nothing Phone 3a may pack a larger 6.8-inch screen with a higher resolution (1084 x 2728 pixels).

Both Nothing Phone 3a and S23 have 120Hz refresh rates, smooth scrolling, and a responsive experience.

Nothing Phone 3a launch date is March 4.

The new Nothing Phone 3a will run on a Snapdragon chipset, a huge upgrade from the MediaTek Dimensity powering the Nothing Phone 2a. Otherwise they are nearly the same though: 8GB RAM 2.8GHz octa-core.

Galaxy S23 FE has Exynos 2200 (4 nm) chipset globally and a Qualcomm SM8450 Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 (4 nm) in the US.

If a long-life battery is important to you, then know that Samsung Galaxy S23 FE has a 4500mAh battery, while the Nothing Phone 3a is expected to come with a bigger 5000mAh battery.

Samsung’s S23 FE 5G features a triple-camera setup:

• 50MP main sensor with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS)

• 12MP ultra-wide camera

• 8MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom

On the other hand, the Nothing Phone 3a features:

• Three 50MP cameras

• There are slight differences in apertures and sensor sizes. 

• Both phones produce sharp photos, but Samsung’s optical zoom and OIS put it an inch ahead in showing you distant or moving subjects.

Samsung Galaxy S23 FE price is Rs 29,999 while the Nothing Phone 3a price is lesser at Rs 27,999.

So, Samsung has a great reputation for its overall performance and camera versatility.

However, Nothing has shown that its previous smartphones have performed extremely well in all departments. Apart from that, if you want a deal that favours battery life and display size, you may want to consider Nothing Phone 3a.

In the end, both phones have some great features and the decision will simply come to be based on your needs. Of course, the Nothing Phone 3a is expected to sport a really striking look, something that Samsung may not eb able to match. And, you may want to go for the latest launch, rather than the S23 FE, especially as Galaxy S25 is already in the market.
