Nothing Phone (3a) Pro vs Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7

Nothing Phone (3a) Pro

The 5,000mAh battery provides reliable all-day endurance with 50W wired charging reaching full in about an hour. GSMArena measured 13 hours 37 minutes of active use. Light users can stretch to two days. The notable absence is wireless charging — every single reviewer flags this as a missing feature at the $459 price point.

• 5,000mAh delivers reliable all-day battery with 13h37m active use measured — light users can get two days
• 50W wired charging reaches 60% in 30 minutes and full charge in about 1 hour
• No wireless charging at $459 — universally flagged as a missing feature when Pixel 8a includes it

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7

Battery life remains the Z Fold 7's most persistent weakness. The 4,400mAh cell has to power two large displays, and while the Snapdragon 8 Elite's efficiency helps, heavy use of the inner display still drains the battery quickly.

• Using primarily the cover display, the Fold 7 can last a full day — but heavy inner screen use cuts that short
• 4,400mAh is an improvement over the Fold 6, but still feels insufficient for a $2,000 device
• 25W charging hasn't improved and feels outdated when competitors offer 65W or faster
• Wireless charging and reverse wireless charging are included, as expected at this price point
