    For those travelling overseas and use e-sims, the 3a does NOT have e-sim capability.

      That is what

      Dual NANO SIM

      means

      Some people prefer dual sim phones with two physical sims.

      • FireRunner on 02/09/2025 - 20:52

        There are phones with dual physical sim slots and eSIM support. It’s not mutually exclusive

              @FireRunner: The G75 AU model has one nano SIM + 1 eSIM. If these phones exist, what are they?

                @shxhshzhz: Ah my bad, I got bamboozled by the Good Guys page which said it supported two nano sims. Other sites confirm this is false.
                I could have sworn there was a Motorola model that had dual physical sim and esim but yeah, maybe rarer than I thought

            @shxhshzhz: My Find X3 Pro has this, purchased from JB in 2022, although it was a flagship so I guess not comparable.

            • shxhshzhz on 02/09/2025 - 22:12

              @maimai: It's also a 3 year old phone so not comparable to the current market

              • maimai on 02/09/2025 - 22:13

                @shxhshzhz: Technically not AU market, but OnePlus 13 series does have it, I suppose the Australian market is just very bad. Also seems like Find X8 Pro has it (although once again it is a flagship)

      Their website lists
      3 = full eSim support
      3a = eSim exclusivly for Japan
      3a apro = eSim excluding India

      Id guess its more of a software switch than hardware due to licensing or country regulations and someone far smarter than me might be able to root android and enable it.

      I got this esim adaptor, which works very well.
      https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005008247200608.html
      My Nothing Phone 2a+ is the same, dual physical sim and no esim. No esim used to be a dealbreaker for me, but now it can be overcome with esim adaptor cards like this - can store multiple esim profiles.
      So now I just keep both my AU sim and the esim adaptor in the dual slots.

        • moni813 on 03/09/2025 - 08:34

          The CMF range is different to mine - I've got the Nothing Phone 2a+. Sadly it doesn't have a micro SD slot, so I went with the 256GB version.

      • timhn on 03/09/2025 - 08:02

        Is there any limit how many esim you can store on the card?

        • moni813 on 03/09/2025 - 08:43

          Yes, it's got a limited memory capacity on the card. The one I linked is meant to be like a 9esim v0 card, which has "480K storage capacity - accommodates approximately 15 eSIM profiles" (I had to google that since the listing doesn't seem to say.)
          It varies by card though, the 9esim V2 and V3 have bigger storage. There are other with varying storage/profile limits.
          I only need 1 profile at a time for occasional travel so this is perfect for my needs!

            @moni813: Wow, that's good to hear. I probably only need about 3 at most when travel. But with all these freebies esim deals going around, it would be nice to have some extra just in case 😄

    • ab c on 03/09/2025 - 11:15

      Real-world-experience: eSIM phone causes IN-convenience in certain-circumstances, eg CON-current use of 2 sims: eSIM & pSIM.
      MAIN-phone: eSIM I park my MAIN# here just to receive calls & sms. This phone is also pSIM: I churn-sim monthly for data, call-OUT & sms-OUT.
      2nd-phone: pSIM only & older model.
      I call bank to discuss issue using churn-pSIM. Bank initiates 2-factor-validation to my eSIM(MAIN#) but I can't receive that sms while I'm on the call with bank. I understand that NO au-carrier enable this feature on their network.

      Similar problem arises when I use Optus-7d eSIM free-trial as a bridging-service for monthly churn-sim. I can only activate 1 eSIM on my phone at-a-time, but NOT CON-current use of 2 sims: eSIM to-call & eSIM to receive-sms. https://www.optus.com.au/customer-extras/network-trial?

      You're getting a much cleaner version of android so you will not get all the Samsung apps that are loaded into Samsung phones. If you depend a lot on that ecosystem then that will be a difference. Most of those apps though duplicate google offerings already available in android. Any shortfall can be achieved with third party apps.

    • R3STRIKT3D on 03/09/2025 - 08:51

      I had a nothing phone (1 or 2, cant remember) as a work phone and an s22 ultra as my main, honestly apart from being on the samsung eco system it was pretty much on par.

      At the time if you were very particular about the camera, side by side the samsung would be marginally better. At this point it's really down to looks and also as the other comment points out, it was a cleaner version of android (out of the box anyway)

    • moni813 on 03/09/2025 - 08:57

      I shared an early review jumping from my old S20 FE here: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/16174567/redir

      I still feel like some features are "missing" in that I can't find a non-Samsung app that achieves the same function. E.g.:
      * good face recognition in gallery app,
      * full editing features within gallery app that support editing history/reversion
      * ability to alter the snooze time when an alarm goes off.
      * unable to save photos in heic so photos are bigger file size.
      Just little quality of life things that go with leaving the Samsung ecosystem. Otherwise it does everything well!
      When my current Nothing Phone 2a+ dies, I'll firstly try to look for a good Samsung deal and if nothing pops up I'll probably get another Nothing phone haha

      • Clear on 03/09/2025 - 11:34

        The best in the Nothing line up.* The Pro is just a slight bump up in cameras with eSIM (just use an eSim adaptor on 3a). While the 3 for $1300~$1500 removed the Glyphs - the best part.

      • ab c on 03/09/2025 - 11:41

        Lol…best is a vague-word that has many-interpretations.

        Likely that buyers have buying-criteria base on preferences & perceptions: bang-for-buck, convenience vs longevity, 5g, eSIM, oled-screen, budget, camera, brand, flagship-model, iPhone-status among female-teenagers etc etc etc the list can-be long.

        Then you have paid & bias-reviews all over the internet spreading MIS-information…is OzBargain any-different?

        It's hard-work FACT-checking reviews & claims, eg battery-SIZE…SO-many variables are at-play & this's only 1 of many-features of a phone. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/16641490/redir

          If you didn't or don't want to. 3a Pro offers a small camera bump up compared to the 3a with a large price difference. The 3 being "flagship" and well over $1000 puts it in a whole different category.

      • Clear on 03/09/2025 - 12:01

        Stock Motorola camera app isn't very good. If you've got anything non-Pixel, Samsung or iPhone you're better off getting a GCam port specific for your phone. It can make a massive difference.

      It feels MUCH better built than the G84 which is what I had before my 2a. (12gb/256) It feels like an Android Iphone in the hand. Really well made. Camera more than decent. Not buggy, no crashes or malfunctions. Feels very slick. I think on paper the Moto's are better, but in real life, at this price point, I really rate the Nothings 😀
