Performance wise, yes. It is also better in software support, but the Nothing should have some better specs in camera, wait the reviews

Not really. Despite having higher benchmark scores, Exynos 1580's gaming performance is noticeably worse than Nothing Phone 3(a). This is mainly due to how every single game these days is fully optimized for Snapdragon chipsets. Furthermore, Exynos graphics driver sucks and Samsung never updates their driver through SW or FW updates. So don't expect to get a better performance on A56 later on.

Beast, Beast, wrong. Games like Genshin Impact, Wuthering Waves, Car X Street, etc run much better on 7s Gen 3. Warzone gets like 10fps with constant stutter on Exynos 1580. 7s gen 3 absolutely crushes Exynos 1580 in pretty much every single heavy games. And what ray tracing game are you talking about?

BrokeCashier, Warzone is a poorly optimized game in general. I play every game you mentioned except for Warzone, and they work flawlessly. I get 60 fps on all the games.

BrokeCashier, I just watched videos of gaming on the A56 vs on Nothing Phone 3a, and while the Nothing Phone 3a performed better in some games, I would say that in 80% of the games, the A56 performs better (watch newer videos for this, as the A56 was really unoptimized for games at launch)
