Erencan YılmazA few weeks ago, a Nothing model was leaked on Geekbench, and this smartphone has a Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 SoC. Xiaomi’s recently announced Redmi Note 14 Pro+ also comes with a Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 SoC, suggesting that the two devices could be competitors. So is Nothing’s upcoming Phone (3a) series or the Note 14 Pro+ better? Let’s compare the leaked specs of the Nothing Phone (3a) and now the Redmi Note 14 Pro+.
Should we choose Nothing Phone (3a) or Redmi Note 14 Pro+?
The Nothing Phone (3a) leaked specs show that the device’s main camera can record 4K@60FPS video. This is a significant improvement compared to the Redmi Note 14 Pro+. Because the Redmi Note 14 Pro+ can record videos up to 4K@30FPS. Xiaomi needs to make some improvements in video capability.
Unfortunately, the camera sensor of Nothing Phone (3a) is unknown. Still, with the latest Nothing OS leaks, details such as video shooting capabilities and the fact that the device will not have an Ultra Wide Angle camera were leaked. Yes, the Nothing Phone (3a) will not have an Ultra Wide angle sensor, which is an obvious disadvantage compared to the Redmi Note 14 Pro+. The Redmi Note 14 Pro+ has a triple camera setup. These are the Main, Ultra Wide Angle, and Telephoto cameras respectively.
While the Note 14 Pro+ has some shortcomings in video shooting, it should offer a better camera system than the Nothing Phone (3a). All in all, if you take a lot of photos, it would be a better choice for you to buy Redmi Note 14 Pro+.
But if you’re only interested in shooting videos with the rear camera, the Nothing Phone (3a) might be the device you should go for, or you can opt for a better smartphone in the same price band. It should be noted that the front camera of the Nothing Phone (3a) can only record videos up to 1080P@30FPS, while the Note 14 Pro+ can shoot 1080P@60FPS videos. This is a significant difference and the Note 14 Pro+ seems to be the more suitable smartphone for you.
As for the processors, both devices have the same SoC, so they should perform similarly. So, there is nothing to compare regarding the SoC. The Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 should show efficiency gains compared to the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2. Because the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 is a chip manufactured by Samsung.
The new Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 is now manufactured by TSMC and brands can’t wait to announce new smartphones with Snapdragon 7s Gen 3. In this article, we compare Nothing’s new smartphone, expected to be the Phone (3a), with the Redmi Note 14 Pro+. The specs of Nothing’s new smartphones have not been finalized yet, so take this information with a pinch of salt.
