"The Phone 4a Pro is a bit of a departure from UK-based Nothing's previous glass-clad transparent designs. It still has a touch of those elements but only in the camera island at the top, with the rest of the body now solid aluminium — a rare sight in the world of Android phones. It costs 499 (479/$499/A$949), sitting above the regular Phone 4a at 349 and below the top-of-the-line Phone 3 costing 699."
"The screen is bright, colourful and crisp with a high 144Hz refresh rate that keeps your scrolling smooth. It's great for watching video on the commute. The slim aluminium body feels great, but the 4a Pro is a very big phone with a huge 6.83in OLED screen on the front. Only a handful of phones such as the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra or iPhone 17 Pro Max are quite that big, making it a two-handed affair most of the time."
"The large camera island on the back contains a big, bright circular dot-matrix LED screen, which can display notification icons, the time, timers, volume and charge levels.

Phone 4a Pro is a large aluminium Android smartphone with a bright 6.83-inch OLED display and a 144Hz refresh rate for smooth scrolling and commute video viewing. The body shifts from earlier transparent designs to solid aluminium, with transparency limited to the camera island at the top. The back features a circular dot-matrix LED screen inside the camera island, showing notification icons, time, timers, volume, and charge levels. The LED display can also act as a rough selfie screen for the rear camera and can show fun widgets such as a moon phase tracker from Nothing’s user community. The phone’s size makes it a mostly two-handed device.
