The flashiest comparison revolves around the Glyph interface - it's a simple Glyph bar on the non-Pro and a full-on circular dot matrix display on the Pro. Getting technical for a bit, the Pro has 137 LEDs, while the regular has just 63. As you can imagine, you can do all sorts of clever stuff with the Glyph Matrix on the Nothing Phone (4a) Pro - animating your timer, different callers, you can even use it as a selfie display for the main camera.
