Nothing Phone 4a Pro hands-on: A premium design with a price to match the Pixel 10a

"It features an aluminum unibody while retaining Nothing's retro-clear hardware design touches, with a clear, redesigned camera unit. Yes, the aggressively protruding circular camera unit of the Phone 3a Pro is gone, replaced with an oblong housing that houses the triple-camera array and a tweaked Glyph Matrix, similar to what debuted on last year's Nothing Phone 3."

"The Phone 4a Pro has its own take on the Glyph Matrix, composed of 137 mini-LEDs. That's fewer LEDs than the Nothing Phone 3, but they are 100 percent brighter at around 3000 nits. It supports pretty much all the Glyph toys we enjoyed on last year's Nothing flagship, although the 4a Pro lacks a dedicated Glyph Button, which is a shame."

"Nothing seems to be striking a balance between affordability and wow factor with the Phone 4a Pro. It has a slightly higher price tag ($499) than the 4a and alongside a major hardware redesign, a lot of the improvements here make this phone feel 'pro' compared to its smaller sibling."

Nothing introduced the Phone 4a Pro, a premium midrange device measuring 7.95mm thick, making it the thinnest full-metal phone available. The device features an aluminum unibody construction while maintaining Nothing's signature clear design elements. The camera unit has been redesigned from the aggressive circular protrusion of the Phone 3a Pro to an oblong housing containing a triple-camera array and updated Glyph Matrix. The Glyph Matrix comprises 137 mini-LEDs, fewer than the Phone 3 but 100 percent brighter at 3000 nits. Priced at $499, the Phone 4a Pro strikes a balance between affordability and premium aesthetics, though it lacks a dedicated Glyph Button, requiring menu navigation for Glyph adjustments.
