OnePlus decided to bow out of the US market, leaving a huge hole. It doesn’t look like Oppo is going to take up the mantle of the brand in the US, but this could be the event that allows Nothing’s to really shine.
The brand has been working hard to deliver new products, and even has a unique design aesthetic that it can call its own that really allows it to stand out from its competitors. The Nothing Phone (4a) Pro is its latest device, and it’s one that we can easily recommend, especially when it’s $100 below its MSRP.
Everything you need for a good price
If you’re looking for something different, this is the phone to go with. And it’s not all about looks either, because the specifications are all there as well. The Phone (4a) Pro features a 6.82-inch 144Hz AMOLED screen and is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chip.
It also features 8GB of RAM, and this particular model comes with 128GB of storage. You also get a triple camera setup in the rear with a 50MP main, 50MP ultra wide, and 32MP telephoto. The cameras are good and should be able to handle any environment that you throw at them.
The phone packs a large 5,080mAh battery, which will be able to get most people through a full day. The charging speed is quite good too, and can get up to 50W. There is no wireless charging, so if you need that, you’ll want to skip this phone. Nothing commits to three years of major updates, and six years of security updates for this phone.
Perhaps the one major feature that attracts people to Nothing is the Glyph Matrix, which can display important information, essentially becoming a secondary display. We like this phone and think it’s an easy one to pick up if you want something a little different.

The Nothing Phone (4a) Pro shifts away from the brand’s all-transparent design, and brings in an all-metal unibody with a transparent camera module, complete with its signature Glyph Matrix inside.
