What CompareTab says about Nothing Phone 3a Pro vs Alcatel Idol X
Nothing Phone 3a Pro has clear advantages in memory, battery capacity and display refresh rate over Idol X, with 12 GB of RAM versus 2 GB, 256 GB of storage versus 16 GB, a 5000 mAh battery versus 2000 mAh, and a 120 Hz display instead of 60 Hz. It also adds a higher-resolution rear camera (50 MP versus 13.1 MP), optical image stabilization on the main camera, an ultrawide rear camera, and 50W charging. Alcatel Idol X, however, is around $110 cheaper, lighter at 120 g versus 211 g, and thinner at 6.9 mm versus 8.39 mm. The main trade-off is the Phone 3a Pro’s extra RAM, storage, faster charging, battery capacity, and smoother display versus the Idol X’s lower price and lighter, thinner build.
