What CompareTab says about Nothing Phone 3a vs Sony Xperia X Compact
Nothing Phone 3a has clear advantages in memory, battery capacity and display refresh rate over Xperia X Compact, with 8 GB of RAM versus 3 GB, 128 GB of storage versus 32 GB, a 5000 mAh battery versus 2700 mAh, and a 120 Hz display instead of 60 Hz. It also adds a higher-resolution rear camera (50 MP versus 23 MP), optical image stabilization on the main camera, an ultrawide rear camera, and 50W charging. Sony Xperia X Compact, however, is lighter at 135 g versus 201 g. The main trade-off is Phone 3a’s extra RAM, storage, faster charging, battery capacity, and smoother display versus Xperia X Compact’s lighter build.
