Design and Colours
Nothing has introduced the Nothing Phone 4a and Nothing Phone 4a Pro with distinct designs and colour options. The Phone 4a Pro is available in silver, black, and pink, while the Phone 4a comes in pink, blue, black, and white. Both devices feature the recording light first seen on the Nothing Phone 3.
The Pro model adopts a new metallic design with a metal unibody, while retaining transparent elements around the camera module and the Glyph Matrix lighting system. In contrast, the Phone 4a keeps Nothing’s signature transparent back with glass panels, a pill-shaped camera module, and the new Glyph Bar placed beside it.
Display, Battery and Durability
Both smartphones feature a 6.78-inch 1.5K AMOLED display. The Phone 4a Pro supports a 144Hz refresh rate and up to 5,000 nits peak brightness, while the standard Phone 4a offers a 120Hz refresh rate and 4,500 nits brightness. The Pro variant is also said to have the slimmest bezels on a Nothing phone. Both devices include an optical in-display fingerprint scanner and pack 5,400mAh batteries with 50W fast charging. For protection, the Phone 4a Pro has an IP65 rating, while the Phone 4a carries an IP64 rating for dust and splash resistance.
