  • 12GB RAM and 256GB storage (expandable on the Pro model).
  • 5,000mAh battery with 50W fast charging, ensuring a full day of use.

Cameras

  • Phone (3a): 50MP main, 8MP ultrawide, and 50MP telephoto (2x optical zoom).
  • Phone (3a) Pro: Includes a 3x periscope lens for better zoom capabilities.
  • Both models feature AI-enhanced image processing, making them competitive with premium camera systems.
