The Nothing Phone (3a) has recently undergone a teardown which reveals its unique design and construction features. It boasts a fake transparent look created by a special glass layer, integrated Glyph LED lights, and water-resistant gaskets around its connectors. The device includes an improved copper vapor chamber for better heat dissipation. Despite an easy battery replacement process, it has a low overall repairability score of 4.5 out of 10, mainly due to design and screen replacement challenges. This teardown highlights both the innovation and limitations of the Nothing Phone (3a).
The Nothing Phone (3a) features a transparent design with Glyph LED lights, but its repairability is rated only 4.5 out of 10.
