Nothing Phone (4a) Pro – Key Features
The Nothing Phone (4a) Pro features a semi-transparent back panel in a metal body with a busy upper section housing the camera setup and the Glyph Matrix. The camera layout is unconventional with one sensor placed on top and two sensors positioned below. On the front, the device features a 6.83-inch 1.5K Flexible AMOLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of up to 5,000 nits. The panel is protected by Gorilla Glass 7i.
Powering the Phone (4a) Pro is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset. While the processor is expected to deliver decent performance, its real-world capabilities will be clearer after further testing.
For photography, the smartphone includes a triple rear camera setup consisting of a 50MP primary camera, a 50MP periscope telephoto camera offering 3.5x optical zoom, and an 8MP ultra-wide camera. On the front, the device features a 32MP camera for selfies and video calls.
The Phone (4a) Pro houses a 5,400mAh battery and supports 50W fast charging. It also carries an IP65 rating for dust and water resistance.
In terms of software, the Phone (4a) Pro runs Nothing OS 4.1 based on Android 16 out of the box. Nothing has promised three years of Android updates and six years of security patches. The company continues to emphasise a clean software experience without pre-installed third-party apps, making it appealing for users who prefer a clutter-free interface.
Nothing Phone (4a) – Key Features
The Nothing Phone (4a) introduces a new Glyph Bar design. This is a vertical strip that includes six LEDs and 63 mini-LEDs, along with the signature red recording LED, making its debut in the A series. The Glyph Bar is positioned on the right side of the camera module and lights up for notifications, apps, and other system features.
The front has a 6.78-inch LTPS AMOLED display with an adaptive refresh rate ranging from 30Hz to 120Hz. The screen offers a peak brightness of 4,500 nits and a typical brightness of 800 nits, and it is also protected by Gorilla Glass 7i.
The smartphone is powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 processor, which represents a generational upgrade over the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 used in the Phone (3a) (review). This suggests noticeable improvements in performance. The device is paired with LPDDR4X RAM and UFS 3.1 storage, which also marks an upgrade.
Interestingly, Nothing is offering the larger 5,400mAh battery exclusively in India, while other markets will receive a 5,080mAh unit. Fast charging remains unchanged at 50W, which the company claims can charge the device to 100 percent in 64 minutes.
The smartphone also includes the Essential Key, which is now positioned on the left side. It introduces a new AI feature called ‘Essential Voice’, which will be rolled out via an OTA update shortly after launch.
Another major upgrade on the Phone (4a) is the camera system. It features a 50MP Samsung JN5 periscope camera with 3.5x optical zoom, 7x in-sensor zoom, and up to 70x Ultra zoom. The inclusion of a periscope lens is expected to deliver improved detail in zoomed shots and portraits, potentially giving the Phone (4a) an advantage over other mid-range competitors.
The primary camera uses a 50MP Samsung GN9 sensor with both OIS and EIS, while an 8MP Sony IMX355 ultra-wide camera completes the setup.
The Phone (4a) retains the same IP64 rating for dust and water resistance as the Phone (3a). While this offers basic protection, some competitors in the same segment provide ratings as high as IP69K.
Additional hardware features include two high-definition microphones, dual stereo speakers, and an in-display optical fingerprint sensor for biometric authentication.
