From Nothing’s futuristic earbuds to nearly any one of their phone models, the brand’s products always feel like you’re getting a lot more for a price that’s far less. Their budget smartphone, the Nothing Phone 3a, is no different in that regard. However, right now, the emphasis is certainly on “a price that’s far less.” The reasoning for this is a deal we uncovered at Walmart. Normally $400, you can now get the Nothing Phone 3a for just $328, a savings of $72. This deal won’t last forever, however, so go ahead and tap the button below to see if the deal is still available or read on to see what the phone is capable of and what our hands on experiences with it were like.
The Nothing Phone 3a has a very impressive stat readout for its cost. There’s a 1080 x 2392 pixel resolution screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, 8GB of RAM, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chipset, WiFi 6, and (at least for the version on sale today) 128GB of internal storage. All in a 6.7-inch screen phone with a weight under half a pound.
While our Nothing Phone 3a review certainly talks a bit about the stats, it goes far deeper into the design and ethos of the phone. Calling the phone a “champion of value” from the get-go, the review touches on the phone’s distinct design, the “Essential” key for AI-empowered quick notes, and better-than-expected battery life and cameras. In conclusion, our review revisits the champion theme, revising the Nothing Phone 3a’s place as, instead the “mid-range champion,” but with this great deal it is not more of a budget champion, for sure.
Now is the time to buy a Nothing Phone 3a if you’d like one. Normally $400, a $72 discount at Walmart brings the price to just $328. Simply tap the button below to double-check if the phone is still available at this great price. Alternatively, go and check out these other phone deals, but don’t necessarily expect to find something this good at a price this low.
A virtual private network (VPN) encrypts your internet traffic and routes it through a server run by the VPN provider. Websites see the VPN server’s IP address instead of yours, and you can get around geo-blocks, censorship, and ISP throttling. The best VPN services are paid, but there are still a handful of free options that do the job well.
Most free VPNs come with a hidden cost, because running servers isn’t cheap and a company that doesn’t charge you has to make its money somewhere else. Many do so by logging your browsing activity and selling it to advertisers, while others flood you with ads and track you across apps.
There's nothing quite like curling up with a good book on a cold evening. As much as I love the feel of a physical book, books take up a lot of space, and carrying more than one on a trip quickly becomes a chore. That's where e-readers come in, and the Amazon Kindle remains one of the best options.
Amazon just refreshed its Kindle lineup with thinner, lighter designs, a new flush-front display, and colors that wrap from front to back. Add the Kindle Scribe and the Kindle Scribe Colorsoft to the mix, and you have more choices than ever before.
A good Android app should earn its place on your phone. It might make an everyday task easier, handle something the built-in software can't, or let you change an experience that never quite worked for you.
These 20 apps cover everything from quick notes and password management to automation and local file sharing. Some are free, others charge for advanced features, and a few take some effort to figure out. The point isn't to install them all. It's to find the ones that make your phone work better for you.
