Nothing’s latest offering, the Phone (4a) Pro, is making waves as the company’s slimmest smartphone to date, measuring just 7.95mm thick. The device boasts a refined transparent aesthetic with a precision-crafted metal unibody, enhancing both its premium experience and durability. It also offers IP65 dust and water resistance, and can withstand submersion up to 25cm for 20 minutes.
Photography is a key focus for the Phone (4a) Pro, featuring a Sony LYT700C main camera with optical image stabilization (OIS), alongside a 50MP periscope telephoto lens offering 3.5x optical zoom and up to 140x digital zoom – the longest zoom capability ever seen on a Nothing phone. A Sony ultra-wide lens and a 32MP selfie camera complete the setup. The camera system is powered by Nothing’s TrueLens Engine 4, enabling Ultra XDR photos and 4K Ultra XDR video. This emphasis on camera technology reflects a broader trend of smartphone manufacturers prioritizing image quality as a key differentiator.
The Phone (4a) Pro features a 6.83-inch AMOLED display with a 1.5K resolution, 450ppi, and a 144Hz refresh rate, reaching a peak brightness of 5000 nits. The screen also supports 2500Hz touch sampling and 2160Hz PWM dimming, and is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 7i. While 4K video recording is supported, it’s limited to 30fps, a potential drawback for some users.
The device’s design incorporates an upgraded Glyph Matrix on the rear, utilizing 137 mini-LEDs covering a 57% larger area and achieving twice the brightness at around 3000 nits. This system functions as a notification indicator and can be customized for different contacts and alerts. Available color options include silver, black, and metallic pink.
Internally, the Phone (4a) Pro is powered by a Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 processor and features UFS 3.1 storage. It supports Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.4. The device includes a substantial 5080 mAh battery, though it lacks wireless charging capabilities. The operating system is based on Android 16 and is noted for its speed and fluidity, with Nothing guaranteeing three major OS upgrades.
The MSRP for the 8GB+128GB version is €379, while the 12GB+256GB model is priced at €459. These price points position the Phone (4a) Pro as a competitive option in the mid-range smartphone market, offering a compelling combination of features and design.
