Nothing has launched its new Phone (4a) and Phone (4a) Pro. Both come with notable upgrades and a slightly higher starting price. The Phone (4a) brings a familiar design but adds fresh colors and improved features.
The Phone (4a) sports a 6.78-inch 120Hz AMOLED display and is covered in Gorilla Glass 7i, making it tougher than the previous models. It runs on Android 16, complete with six years of security updates. It also boasts IP64 dust and water resistance, which is a nice touch for durability. The phone features an impressive Glyph Bar, with 63 mini-LEDs that can indicate notifications or charging status.
Camera quality is crucial these days, and the Phone (4a) aims high. A 50MP main camera pairs with another 50MP telephoto camera and a versatile ultrawide lens. Plus, there’s a 32MP selfie camera that many will appreciate. These enhancements aim to compete with flagship brands.
On the other hand, the Phone (4a) Pro really ups the ante. It has a similar look to the Phone (3) but comes with a metal unibody build and is IP68 rated for dust and water resistance. It also features a 6.83-inch 144Hz AMOLED display—brighter and better than its predecessor, also protected by Gorilla Glass 7i.
Under the hood, the Phone (4a) Pro packs a Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset, promising around 30% better performance, especially with AI tasks. The Pro enjoys features like 4K Ultra XDR video capture and Dolby Vision, appealing to content creators and those who love high-quality media.
Both phones come equipped with a 5,080 mAh battery that supports 50W wired charging. Unfortunately, neither supports wireless charging. Regarding software updates, Nothing promises three years of Android OS upgrades and six years of security updates.
Price-wise, the Phone (4a) starts at £349, while the Pro begins at £499. Interestingly, the base model is cheaper than its predecessor, but the Pro is at a higher price point. However, those looking in the U.S. market are limited, as the base model won’t be available there.
Recent user reactions on social media show excitement over the new colors and camera capabilities, especially among photography enthusiasts. It is worth noting that, according to a recent survey by Strategy Analytics, camera quality remains a top concern for smartphone buyers, further emphasizing Nothing’s strategic focus on this aspect.
In summary, both the Nothing Phone (4a) and Phone (4a) Pro strive to deliver style and performance, making them competitive choices in the smartphone market. With solid specs and sleek designs, they aim to capture the attention of tech-savvy consumers.
