Nothing Phone 4a Pro Design

The Nothing Phone 4a Pro does not feature a fully transparent rear panel. Instead, it comes with a metal unibody design.

The most noticeable design element on this variant is the Glyph Matrix, positioned beside the camera module on the top of the rear panel. Notably, this matrix-style LED setup can display different lighting patterns and animations for notifications and alerts.

The rear camera module is housed in a rectangular island with separate cutouts for the sensors. A small red accent square is also present on the module, which lights up when the phone is recording a video.

Nothing Phone 4a Pro Specifications

The Nothing Phone 4a Pro has a 6.83-inch LTPS AMOLED display with up to a 144Hz refresh rate and 5,000 nits of peak brightness. To recall, the Phone 3a Pro was launched with a smaller 6.77-inch Flexible AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and up to 3,000 nits of peak brightness.

Compared to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 on the predecessor, the Phone 4a Pro is powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset, which delivers noticeably better overall performance.

While the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 was already decent for the mid-range segment, the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 provides a clear upgrade in raw speed, AI processing, and efficiency, making the Phone 4a Pro significantly more capable for demanding tasks.

The smartphone offers up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage and ships with Nothing OS 4.1, based on Android 16**,** out of the box, offering three OS updates and six years of security patches.

In terms of optics, the Phone 4a Pro boasts a 50MP OIS Sony Lytia 700C main camera, an 8MP Sony IMX355 ultra-wide sensor, and a 50MP OIS periscope camera with 3.5x optical zoom, similar to the predecessor.

Meanwhile, the front of the Phone 4a Pro features a 32MP sensor for selfies and video calls, which has been downgraded from a 50MP sensor on the Phone 3a Pro.

The Indian variant of the Phone 4a Pro offers a 5,400mAh battery, which is slightly bigger than the predecessor's battery capacity. However, the 50W wired charging has been retained in the new model.

Furthermore, the phone is equipped with an IP65 rating, indicating slightly better resistance against dust and low-pressure water jets.

Is the Nothing Phone 4a Pro worth buying? (Updated)

The Nothing Phone 4a Pro brings a refreshed design, a clean Android-based software experience, upgraded hardware, and new Glyph lighting features compared to its predecessor. Starting at Rs 39,999, it sits in the competitive upper mid-range segment.

However, buyers in this price range also have several strong alternatives to consider, such as the OnePlus Nord 6, which starts at Rs 38,999, or the POCO X8 Pro Max, which comes for Rs 42,999.

It is worth noting that the OnePlus Nord 6 offers stronger overall performance with the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset, a massive 9,000mAh battery with 80W fast charging, a 165Hz AMOLED display, and long-term software support. It is the best choice for performance, battery life, and smooth daily usage.

On the other hand, the POCO X8 Pro Max comes with a flagship-grade MediaTek Dimensity 9500s processor, the same 9,000mAh battery and faster 100W charging support, and IP69K durability. It delivers the best raw power and value for heavy users and gamers.

If you want the best balance of performance, battery, and software, you can go for the OnePlus Nord 6. However, you can pick the POCO X8 Pro Max if you want maximum power, faster charging, and higher RAM/storage. Go for Nothing Phone 4a Pro if you prefer its unique design, telephoto camera, and clean UI.

• Unique transparent design with Glyph LED interface
