What CompareTab says about Nothing Phone 3a vs POCO F9 Ultra
POCO F9 Ultra offers more RAM, storage, battery capacity and a smoother display than Phone 3a, with 12 GB of RAM versus 8 GB, 256 GB of storage versus 128 GB, a 8050 mAh battery versus 5000 mAh, and a 185 Hz display instead of 120 Hz. It also adds a higher-resolution rear camera (200 MP versus 50 MP), wireless charging, and 100W charging. Nothing Phone 3a, however, is around $420 cheaper, lighter at 201 g versus 235 g, and thinner at 8.35 mm versus 8.74 mm. The main trade-off is the F9 Ultra’s extra RAM, storage, faster charging, battery capacity, and smoother display versus the Phone 3a’s lower price and lighter, thinner build.
