Introduction
Nothing has already built an interesting portfolio since the company’s inception just two years ago, and the new Phone (3a) Pro and Phone (3a) slot in there just right. It is kind of odd that the company is releasing an “a” variant of a phone ahead of the actual Nothing phone (3), let alone two different models, but approaching phone launches unusually is part of the company’s ethos

Unboxing
The Nothing Phone (3a) Pro ships in a simple yet not very typical box. Instead of your usual two-piece design, Nothing uses a book-style flap on its cardboard box with a second cardboard sleeve box on top. The inner box is nicely embossed. It definitely shows attention to detail. Everything is made out of cardboard and is recyclable. That includes the inner cradle for the phone itself.
