Highlights & Review Of Nothing Phone 3A

Display Highlights

The Nothing Phone 3a 12GB/256GB has a 6.77-inch Flexible AMOLED display with 1080 × 2392 resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, HDR10+, 1B colors, 2160Hz PWM, 800 nits typical brightness, 1,300 nits HBM and 3,000 nits peak brightness. At PKR 153,000, it offers the largest screen in this comparison and a strong outdoor-brightness specification, although its 387ppi density is slightly lower than the Oppo Reno 15 and Realme 15 Pro.

The Oppo Reno 15 12GB/256GB at PKR 160,000 uses a smaller 6.59-inch AMOLED panel with a sharper 1256 × 2760 resolution, 460ppi, 120Hz refresh rate, HDR10+, 600 nits typical brightness, 1,200 nits HBM and 3,600 nits peak brightness. Its higher pixel density makes text, icons and fine details look sharper, while its higher peak-brightness rating gives it an advantage for direct sunlight.

The Realme 15 Pro 12GB/512GB at PKR 145,000 is the display leader in this group. Its 6.8-inch OLED panel has 1280 × 2800 resolution, 453ppi, 144Hz refresh rate, HDR10+, 1,800 nits HBM and 6,500 nits peak brightness, making it the best choice for gaming, high-frame-rate scrolling and outdoor visibility. At PKR 8,000 less than the Nothing Phone 3a, it also provides twice the storage.

The Samsung Galaxy A57 5G 8GB/256GB at PKR 149,000 has a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED+ display with 1080 × 2340 resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, HDR10+, 1,200 nits HBM and 1,900 nits peak brightness. Its display is smooth and bright, but its 385ppi density, 120Hz ceiling and lower peak brightness place it behind the Realme 15 Pro for demanding outdoor and gaming use.

The Nothing Phone 3a is the right choice if you want the biggest 6.77-inch screen for video, reading and everyday use, while its 3,000 nits peak brightness keeps it competitive outdoors. The Realme 15 Pro is the better display purchase at PKR 145,000 because its 144Hz refresh rate, sharper 453ppi panel and 6,500 nits peak brightness exceed the Nothing Phone 3a in every major display measurement.

Verdict: The Realme 15 Pro wins the display comparison, the Oppo Reno 15 is best for sharpness, the Nothing Phone 3a is best for a large screen at a lower price than the Reno 15, and the Samsung Galaxy A57 5G ranks last despite its strong Super AMOLED+ panel.

Performance Highlights

The Nothing Phone 3a 12GB/256GB uses Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7s Gen 3, built on a 4nm process, with an Adreno 810 GPU and 12GB RAM. It records 828,429 AnTuTu (v10) and 3,278 Geekbench 6 in GSMArena testing, placing it behind both Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 rivals despite its PKR 153,000 retailer price.

The Oppo Reno 15 12GB/256GB at PKR 160,000 uses the newer Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 on a 4nm process. OPPO Pakistan confirms this chipset for the Reno 15, while independent testing records 1,086,657 AnTuTu (v10), putting it roughly 258,228 points ahead of the Nothing Phone 3a in the same benchmark version.

The Realme 15 Pro 12GB/512GB at PKR 145,000 is the performance winner. It also uses the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4, but records 1,095,837 AnTuTu (v10), 3,630 Geekbench 6 and 1,816 3DMark Wild Life Extreme, while costing PKR 8,000 less than the Nothing Phone 3a and offering 512GB storage.

The Samsung Galaxy A57 5G 8GB/256GB at PKR 149,000 uses Samsung’s Exynos 1680 chipset and records 1,001,995 AnTuTu (v10). It is clearly faster than the Nothing Phone 3a by about 173,566 AnTuTu points, but its 8GB RAM and lower benchmark result leave it behind the Realme 15 Pro and Oppo Reno 15 for sustained gaming and heavy multitasking.

Samsung Galaxy A57 5G, 8GB/256GBExynos 16801,001,995Not listed in same test setFast, but behind the two Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 phones

All four AnTuTu results use AnTuTu v10, so they can be compared directly. The Realme 15 Pro leads by 9,180 points over the Oppo Reno 15, while the Nothing Phone 3a trails the Realme 15 Pro by 267,408 points, a meaningful gap for demanding games, long multitasking sessions and future software demands.

Verdict: The Realme 15 Pro is the best processor and performance value because it delivers the highest 1,095,837 AnTuTu (v10) score, 12GB RAM, 512GB storage and the lowest PKR 145,000 price; the Nothing Phone 3a is capable for normal use but is the weakest performance choice in this four-phone comparison.

Memory & Storage Highlights

The Nothing Phone 3a 12GB/256GB has 12GB LPDDR5X RAM, 256GB UFS 2.2 storage and a 20GB RAM Booster feature, with no microSD card slot. At PKR 153,000, it provides enough memory for normal multitasking, but its UFS 2.2 storage is the slowest storage standard in this comparison and its 256GB capacity is half of the Realme 15 Pro.

The Oppo Reno 15 12GB/256GB at PKR 160,000 has 12GB RAM, 256GB UFS 3.1 storage and no microSD card slot. Its UFS 3.1 storage is faster than the Nothing Phone 3a’s UFS 2.2 storage, but it costs PKR 7,000 more while offering the same 256GB capacity.

The Realme 15 Pro 12GB/512GB at PKR 145,000 has 12GB LPDDR4X RAM, 512GB UFS 3.1 storage and up to 14GB Dynamic RAM Expansion, with no microSD card slot. Although its LPDDR4X RAM type is older than LPDDR5X, its 512GB UFS 3.1 storage, lower price and double capacity make it the strongest memory-value choice.

The Samsung Galaxy A57 5G 8GB/256GB at PKR 149,000 has 8GB LPDDR5X RAM, 256GB UFS 3.1 storage and no microSD card slot. Its LPDDR5X memory is a plus, but its 8GB RAM is the lowest in this group, making it less suitable for heavy multitasking and long gaming sessions than the three 12GB phones.

Samsung Galaxy A57 5G, 8GB/256GB8GB LPDDR5X256GBUFS 3.1NoFast memory, only 8GB RAM

The Realme 15 Pro is the clear memory winner because it combines 12GB RAM, 512GB UFS 3.1 storage and 14GB Dynamic RAM Expansion for PKR 145,000, giving buyers twice the storage of the Nothing Phone 3a and Oppo Reno 15 at a lower price. The Nothing Phone 3a remains a good choice for users who prioritize its 12GB LPDDR5X RAM and 20GB RAM Booster, but its UFS 2.2 storage is a real limitation for large games, 4K video files and long-term app storage.

Verdict: The Realme 15 Pro wins the RAM and memory comparison, the Oppo Reno 15 is second because of its faster UFS 3.1 storage, the Nothing Phone 3a is third due to its slower UFS 2.2 storage, and the Samsung Galaxy A57 5G ranks last because its 8GB RAM limits heavy multitasking despite its LPDDR5X memory.

Camera Highlights

The Nothing Phone 3a 12GB/256GB has a 50MP OIS main camera with a 1/1.57-inch sensor, f/1.88 aperture, 1.0μm pixels and 24mm focal length. It also includes a 50MP 2x telephoto camera, 8MP 120-degree ultrawide and a 32MP front camera, with 4K 30fps rear video recording. At PKR 153,000, it is the only phone here with a dedicated telephoto camera, making it the strongest choice for portraits and closer shots.

The Oppo Reno 15 12GB/256GB at PKR 160,000 has a 50MP f/1.8 OIS main camera, 50MP f/2.8 OIS telephoto with up to 3.5x optical zoom, 8MP ultrawide and a 50MP autofocus front camera. It supports 4K 60fps rear video, giving it the best video-recording specification in this comparison, although it costs PKR 7,000 more than the Nothing Phone 3a.

The Realme 15 Pro 12GB/512GB at PKR 145,000 has a 50MP f/1.8 OIS main camera with a 1/1.56-inch sensor and 1.0μm pixels, plus a 50MP 116-degree ultrawide and 32MP front camera. It records 4K 30/60fps video with OIS and gyro-EIS, but it has no telephoto camera, so it cannot match the Nothing Phone 3a or Oppo Reno 15 for zoomed portraits.

The Samsung Galaxy A57 5G 8GB/256GB at PKR 149,000 has a 50MP f/1.8 OIS main camera, 12MP ultrawide, 5MP macro and a 12MP front camera. It supports 4K 30fps video, but its lack of a telephoto camera, lower-resolution selfie camera and macro-only third rear lens place it behind the other three phones for versatile photography.

The Nothing Phone 3a is the best camera value for most buyers because its 50MP OIS main camera, 50MP 2x telephoto and 32MP selfie camera provide a more complete photography system than the Realme 15 Pro or Galaxy A57 5G at a lower price than the Oppo Reno 15. The Oppo Reno 15 is the better choice only if 4K 60fps video, a 50MP selfie camera or longer 3.5x optical zoom are priorities.

Verdict: The Nothing Phone 3a wins the camera-value comparison, the Oppo Reno 15 wins for video and selfies, the Realme 15 Pro wins for ultrawide resolution, and the Samsung Galaxy A57 5G ranks last because it lacks a telephoto camera and has only a 12MP front camera.

Battery & Charging Highlights

The Nothing Phone 3a 12GB/256GB has a 5,000mAh battery, 50W wired fast charging, 7.5W reverse wired charging and no wireless charging. At PKR 153,000, it offers a balanced battery setup, although its capacity is smaller than the Realme 15 Pro and Oppo Reno 15.

The Oppo Reno 15 12GB/256GB at PKR 160,000 has a 5,800mAh battery and 80W SUPERVOOC wired charging. Its 800mAh larger battery and 30W faster charging make it the better choice for users who want both long usage time and rapid top-ups, although it is the most expensive phone in this comparison.

The Realme 15 Pro 12GB/512GB at PKR 145,000 is the battery champion. Its 7,000mAh Titan Battery is 2,000mAh larger than the Nothing Phone 3a and Samsung Galaxy A57 5G, while its 80W Ultra Charge provides the fastest official charging specification in this group. It also includes an 80W charger in the box, making it the strongest choice for gaming, travel and heavy daily use.

The Samsung Galaxy A57 5G 8GB/256GB at PKR 149,000 has a 5,000mAh battery with 45W Super Fast Charging 2.0. Its charging speed is slower than the Realme 15 Pro and Oppo Reno 15, while its battery capacity matches only the Nothing Phone 3a.

The Realme 15 Pro is the clear battery winner because it combines a 7,000mAh battery, 80W charging and a PKR 145,000 price, giving it a major capacity advantage over every rival. The Nothing Phone 3a is the better choice for users who value its 50W fast charging and 7.5W reverse wired charging, but its 5,000mAh capacity cannot match the Realme 15 Pro for extended gaming or travel.

Verdict: The Realme 15 Pro wins the battery and charging comparison, the Oppo Reno 15 is second because of its 5,800mAh battery and 80W SUPERVOOC charging, the Nothing Phone 3a is third due to its fast 50W charging but smaller 5,000mAh battery, and the Samsung Galaxy A57 5G ranks last because its 45W charging is slower than both 80W rivals.

Final Verdict

The Nothing Phone 3a 12GB/256GB at PKR 153,000 is a stylish all-rounder with a large 6.77-inch 120Hz AMOLED, 12GB LPDDR5X RAM, a versatile 50MP OIS main camera, 50MP 2x telephoto, 32MP selfie camera, 5,000mAh battery and 50W charging. However, its Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 records 828,429 AnTuTu (v10), its UFS 2.2 storage is slower than rivals, and its 5,000mAh battery is smaller than the Realme 15 Pro and Oppo Reno 15.

The Realme 15 Pro 12GB/512GB at PKR 145,000 is the overall winner. It delivers the highest 1,095,837 AnTuTu (v10) score, 512GB UFS 3.1 storage, a 6.8-inch 144Hz OLED, a 7,000mAh battery, 80W charging and a 50MP OIS camera for PKR 8,000 less than the Nothing Phone 3a. Its lack of a telephoto camera is its main camera compromise.

The Oppo Reno 15 12GB/256GB at PKR 160,000 is the best choice for camera-focused buyers who prioritize 4K 60fps video, a 50MP autofocus selfie camera and up to 3.5x optical zoom. It also has a 5,800mAh battery and 80W SUPERVOOC charging, but its 256GB storage and higher price reduce its value against the Realme 15 Pro.

The Samsung Galaxy A57 5G 8GB/256GB at PKR 149,000 offers a strong 6.7-inch 120Hz Super AMOLED+ display, Exynos 1680 performance and a 5,000mAh battery with 45W charging. Its 8GB RAM, absence of a telephoto camera, 12MP selfie camera and slower charging place it behind the other three phones for gaming, photography and heavy multitasking.

The Realme 15 Pro is the best purchase because it beats the Nothing Phone 3a in processor performance, storage capacity, display refresh rate, battery capacity and charging speed while costing less. The Nothing Phone 3a is the better choice only if its 2x telephoto camera, cleaner software experience and distinctive design matter more than raw performance and battery capacity.

Bottom line: Buy the Realme 15 Pro for the best overall value, choose the Oppo Reno 15 for the best camera and video experience, choose the Nothing Phone 3a for its telephoto camera and design, or choose the Samsung Galaxy A57 5G only if the Samsung ecosystem is your priority.

Display Highlights

The Nothing Phone 3a 12GB/256GB has a 6.77-inch Flexible AMOLED display with 1080 × 2392 resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, HDR10+, 1B colors, 2160Hz PWM, 800 nits typical brightness, 1,300 nits HBM and 3,000 nits peak brightness. At PKR 153,000, it offers the largest screen in this comparison and a strong outdoor-brightness specification, although its 387ppi density is slightly lower than the Oppo Reno 15 and Realme 15 Pro.

The Oppo Reno 15 12GB/256GB at PKR 160,000 uses a smaller 6.59-inch AMOLED panel with a sharper 1256 × 2760 resolution, 460ppi, 120Hz refresh rate, HDR10+, 600 nits typical brightness, 1,200 nits HBM and 3,600 nits peak brightness. Its higher pixel density makes text, icons and fine details look sharper, while its higher peak-brightness rating gives it an advantage for direct sunlight.

The Realme 15 Pro 12GB/512GB at PKR 145,000 is the display leader in this group. Its 6.8-inch OLED panel has 1280 × 2800 resolution, 453ppi, 144Hz refresh rate, HDR10+, 1,800 nits HBM and 6,500 nits peak brightness, making it the best choice for gaming, high-frame-rate scrolling and outdoor visibility. At PKR 8,000 less than the Nothing Phone 3a, it also provides twice the storage.

The Samsung Galaxy A57 5G 8GB/256GB at PKR 149,000 has a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED+ display with 1080 × 2340 resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, HDR10+, 1,200 nits HBM and 1,900 nits peak brightness. Its display is smooth and bright, but its 385ppi density, 120Hz ceiling and lower peak brightness place it behind the Realme 15 Pro for demanding outdoor and gaming use.

The Nothing Phone 3a is the right choice if you want the biggest 6.77-inch screen for video, reading and everyday use, while its 3,000 nits peak brightness keeps it competitive outdoors. The Realme 15 Pro is the better display purchase at PKR 145,000 because its 144Hz refresh rate, sharper 453ppi panel and 6,500 nits peak brightness exceed the Nothing Phone 3a in every major display measurement.

Verdict: The Realme 15 Pro wins the display comparison, the Oppo Reno 15 is best for sharpness, the Nothing Phone 3a is best for a large screen at a lower price than the Reno 15, and the Samsung Galaxy A57 5G ranks last despite its strong Super AMOLED+ panel.

Performance Highlights

The Nothing Phone 3a 12GB/256GB uses Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7s Gen 3, built on a 4nm process, with an Adreno 810 GPU and 12GB RAM. It records 828,429 AnTuTu (v10) and 3,278 Geekbench 6 in GSMArena testing, placing it behind both Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 rivals despite its PKR 153,000 retailer price.

The Oppo Reno 15 12GB/256GB at PKR 160,000 uses the newer Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 on a 4nm process. OPPO Pakistan confirms this chipset for the Reno 15, while independent testing records 1,086,657 AnTuTu (v10), putting it roughly 258,228 points ahead of the Nothing Phone 3a in the same benchmark version.

The Realme 15 Pro 12GB/512GB at PKR 145,000 is the performance winner. It also uses the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4, but records 1,095,837 AnTuTu (v10), 3,630 Geekbench 6 and 1,816 3DMark Wild Life Extreme, while costing PKR 8,000 less than the Nothing Phone 3a and offering 512GB storage.

The Samsung Galaxy A57 5G 8GB/256GB at PKR 149,000 uses Samsung’s Exynos 1680 chipset and records 1,001,995 AnTuTu (v10). It is clearly faster than the Nothing Phone 3a by about 173,566 AnTuTu points, but its 8GB RAM and lower benchmark result leave it behind the Realme 15 Pro and Oppo Reno 15 for sustained gaming and heavy multitasking.

All four AnTuTu results use AnTuTu v10, so they can be compared directly. The Realme 15 Pro leads by 9,180 points over the Oppo Reno 15, while the Nothing Phone 3a trails the Realme 15 Pro by 267,408 points, a meaningful gap for demanding games, long multitasking sessions and future software demands.

Verdict: The Realme 15 Pro is the best processor and performance value because it delivers the highest 1,095,837 AnTuTu (v10) score, 12GB RAM, 512GB storage and the lowest PKR 145,000 price; the Nothing Phone 3a is capable for normal use but is the weakest performance choice in this four-phone comparison.

Memory & Storage Highlights

The Nothing Phone 3a 12GB/256GB has 12GB LPDDR5X RAM, 256GB UFS 2.2 storage and a 20GB RAM Booster feature, with no microSD card slot. At PKR 153,000, it provides enough memory for normal multitasking, but its UFS 2.2 storage is the slowest storage standard in this comparison and its 256GB capacity is half of the Realme 15 Pro.

The Oppo Reno 15 12GB/256GB at PKR 160,000 has 12GB RAM, 256GB UFS 3.1 storage and no microSD card slot. Its UFS 3.1 storage is faster than the Nothing Phone 3a’s UFS 2.2 storage, but it costs PKR 7,000 more while offering the same 256GB capacity.

The Realme 15 Pro 12GB/512GB at PKR 145,000 has 12GB LPDDR4X RAM, 512GB UFS 3.1 storage and up to 14GB Dynamic RAM Expansion, with no microSD card slot. Although its LPDDR4X RAM type is older than LPDDR5X, its 512GB UFS 3.1 storage, lower price and double capacity make it the strongest memory-value choice.

The Samsung Galaxy A57 5G 8GB/256GB at PKR 149,000 has 8GB LPDDR5X RAM, 256GB UFS 3.1 storage and no microSD card slot. Its LPDDR5X memory is a plus, but its 8GB RAM is the lowest in this group, making it less suitable for heavy multitasking and long gaming sessions than the three 12GB phones.

Samsung Galaxy A57 5G, 8GB/256GB8GB LPDDR5X256GBUFS 3.1NoFast memory, only 8GB RAM

The Realme 15 Pro is the clear memory winner because it combines 12GB RAM, 512GB UFS 3.1 storage and 14GB Dynamic RAM Expansion for PKR 145,000, giving buyers twice the storage of the Nothing Phone 3a and Oppo Reno 15 at a lower price. The Nothing Phone 3a remains a good choice for users who prioritize its 12GB LPDDR5X RAM and 20GB RAM Booster, but its UFS 2.2 storage is a real limitation for large games, 4K video files and long-term app storage.

Verdict: The Realme 15 Pro wins the RAM and memory comparison, the Oppo Reno 15 is second because of its faster UFS 3.1 storage, the Nothing Phone 3a is third due to its slower UFS 2.2 storage, and the Samsung Galaxy A57 5G ranks last because its 8GB RAM limits heavy multitasking despite its LPDDR5X memory.

Camera Highlights

The Nothing Phone 3a 12GB/256GB has a 50MP OIS main camera with a 1/1.57-inch sensor, f/1.88 aperture, 1.0μm pixels and 24mm focal length. It also includes a 50MP 2x telephoto camera, 8MP 120-degree ultrawide and a 32MP front camera, with 4K 30fps rear video recording. At PKR 153,000, it is the only phone here with a dedicated telephoto camera, making it the strongest choice for portraits and closer shots.

The Oppo Reno 15 12GB/256GB at PKR 160,000 has a 50MP f/1.8 OIS main camera, 50MP f/2.8 OIS telephoto with up to 3.5x optical zoom, 8MP ultrawide and a 50MP autofocus front camera. It supports 4K 60fps rear video, giving it the best video-recording specification in this comparison, although it costs PKR 7,000 more than the Nothing Phone 3a.

The Realme 15 Pro 12GB/512GB at PKR 145,000 has a 50MP f/1.8 OIS main camera with a 1/1.56-inch sensor and 1.0μm pixels, plus a 50MP 116-degree ultrawide and 32MP front camera. It records 4K 30/60fps video with OIS and gyro-EIS, but it has no telephoto camera, so it cannot match the Nothing Phone 3a or Oppo Reno 15 for zoomed portraits.

The Samsung Galaxy A57 5G 8GB/256GB at PKR 149,000 has a 50MP f/1.8 OIS main camera, 12MP ultrawide, 5MP macro and a 12MP front camera. It supports 4K 30fps video, but its lack of a telephoto camera, lower-resolution selfie camera and macro-only third rear lens place it behind the other three phones for versatile photography.

The Nothing Phone 3a is the best camera value for most buyers because its 50MP OIS main camera, 50MP 2x telephoto and 32MP selfie camera provide a more complete photography system than the Realme 15 Pro or Galaxy A57 5G at a lower price than the Oppo Reno 15. The Oppo Reno 15 is the better choice only if 4K 60fps video, a 50MP selfie camera or longer 3.5x optical zoom are priorities.

Verdict: The Nothing Phone 3a wins the camera-value comparison, the Oppo Reno 15 wins for video and selfies, the Realme 15 Pro wins for ultrawide resolution, and the Samsung Galaxy A57 5G ranks last because it lacks a telephoto camera and has only a 12MP front camera.

Battery & Charging Highlights

The Nothing Phone 3a 12GB/256GB has a 5,000mAh battery, 50W wired fast charging, 7.5W reverse wired charging and no wireless charging. At PKR 153,000, it offers a balanced battery setup, although its capacity is smaller than the Realme 15 Pro and Oppo Reno 15.

The Oppo Reno 15 12GB/256GB at PKR 160,000 has a 5,800mAh battery and 80W SUPERVOOC wired charging. Its 800mAh larger battery and 30W faster charging make it the better choice for users who want both long usage time and rapid top-ups, although it is the most expensive phone in this comparison.

The Realme 15 Pro 12GB/512GB at PKR 145,000 is the battery champion. Its 7,000mAh Titan Battery is 2,000mAh larger than the Nothing Phone 3a and Samsung Galaxy A57 5G, while its 80W Ultra Charge provides the fastest official charging specification in this group. It also includes an 80W charger in the box, making it the strongest choice for gaming, travel and heavy daily use.

The Samsung Galaxy A57 5G 8GB/256GB at PKR 149,000 has a 5,000mAh battery with 45W Super Fast Charging 2.0. Its charging speed is slower than the Realme 15 Pro and Oppo Reno 15, while its battery capacity matches only the Nothing Phone 3a.

The Realme 15 Pro is the clear battery winner because it combines a 7,000mAh battery, 80W charging and a PKR 145,000 price, giving it a major capacity advantage over every rival. The Nothing Phone 3a is the better choice for users who value its 50W fast charging and 7.5W reverse wired charging, but its 5,000mAh capacity cannot match the Realme 15 Pro for extended gaming or travel.

Verdict: The Realme 15 Pro wins the battery and charging comparison, the Oppo Reno 15 is second because of its 5,800mAh battery and 80W SUPERVOOC charging, the Nothing Phone 3a is third due to its fast 50W charging but smaller 5,000mAh battery, and the Samsung Galaxy A57 5G ranks last because its 45W charging is slower than both 80W rivals.

Final Verdict

The Nothing Phone 3a 12GB/256GB at PKR 153,000 is a stylish all-rounder with a large 6.77-inch 120Hz AMOLED, 12GB LPDDR5X RAM, a versatile 50MP OIS main camera, 50MP 2x telephoto, 32MP selfie camera, 5,000mAh battery and 50W charging. However, its Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 records 828,429 AnTuTu (v10), its UFS 2.2 storage is slower than rivals, and its 5,000mAh battery is smaller than the Realme 15 Pro and Oppo Reno 15.

The Realme 15 Pro 12GB/512GB at PKR 145,000 is the overall winner. It delivers the highest 1,095,837 AnTuTu (v10) score, 512GB UFS 3.1 storage, a 6.8-inch 144Hz OLED, a 7,000mAh battery, 80W charging and a 50MP OIS camera for PKR 8,000 less than the Nothing Phone 3a. Its lack of a telephoto camera is its main camera compromise.

The Oppo Reno 15 12GB/256GB at PKR 160,000 is the best choice for camera-focused buyers who prioritize 4K 60fps video, a 50MP autofocus selfie camera and up to 3.5x optical zoom. It also has a 5,800mAh battery and 80W SUPERVOOC charging, but its 256GB storage and higher price reduce its value against the Realme 15 Pro.

The Samsung Galaxy A57 5G 8GB/256GB at PKR 149,000 offers a strong 6.7-inch 120Hz Super AMOLED+ display, Exynos 1680 performance and a 5,000mAh battery with 45W charging. Its 8GB RAM, absence of a telephoto camera, 12MP selfie camera and slower charging place it behind the other three phones for gaming, photography and heavy multitasking.

The Realme 15 Pro is the best purchase because it beats the Nothing Phone 3a in processor performance, storage capacity, display refresh rate, battery capacity and charging speed while costing less. The Nothing Phone 3a is the better choice only if its 2x telephoto camera, cleaner software experience and distinctive design matter more than raw performance and battery capacity.

Bottom line: Buy the Realme 15 Pro for the best overall value, choose the Oppo Reno 15 for the best camera and video experience, choose the Nothing Phone 3a for its telephoto camera and design, or choose the Samsung Galaxy A57 5G only if the Samsung ecosystem is your priority.
