NOTHING PHONE 4a Pro

 

Introducing NOTHING Phone 4a Pro

Nothing is evolving and Nothing Phone 4a Pro perfectly represents the changes we’ve been working towards.

It’s got a bold new look, a new camera system and the latest Nothing OS. With a metal unibody, Nothing Phone 4a Pro is our thinnest phone. Plus, it has a Sony main camera, our furthest zoom ever, a best-inclass Snapdragon chip and our flagship Glyph Matrix.

Nothing OS also comes with new Essential AI tools to help you stay organized, feel inspired and create, and we’ve improved the overall experience for even more personalization and control.

 

Design

It’s metal now

Since Phone (2a) Plus, metal has become an increasingly important part of our design language. With an aircraft-grade aluminum unibody, Nothing Phone 4a Pro fully embraces this material in new Black, Silver and Pink finishes. It’s also our slimmest phone – and at 7.95 mm, it’s the thinnest full-metal phone on the market today.

 

Stay cool

Paired with our largest (5,300 mm 2) VC cooling system yet, the metal body on Phone (4a) Pro keeps temperatures balanced under heavy loads.

 

Clearly familiar

The camera bump on Nothing Phone 4a Pro is clear, with 3D-contoured plastic that’s twice as scratch resistant as the back of Phone (2a). Made with nano-level injection moulding, its shape complements the design of our Headphone (1).

 

Built to last

Nothing Phone 4a Pro is 42 % more bend-resistant than Phone (3a) Pro. Plus, the upgraded Gorilla Glass 7i means the display has better protection against scrapes and drops.

It’s also IP65-rated against dust and water – up from IP64 on the previous model. And we’ve made sure it’s equipped to handle full submersion in up to 25 cm of water for up to 20 minutes.

 

Face down

The Glyph Matrix

We brought the Glyph Matrix over from our flagship Phone (3). On Nothing Phone 4a Pro, it’s 57% larger. And at up to 3,000 nits, its 137 mini-LEDs are twice as bright

 

Glyph Tools

The Glyph Matrix lets you stay connected to key information with Glyph Tools. Always-on Glyph Tools include a digital clock, a timer, a battery indicator and more. You can also use Playground to find and download custom tools created by the Nothing Community.

 

Essential Notifications

With Essential Notifications, the Glyph Matrix shows you custom symbols for contacts. A heart could let you know your wife is calling – no need to look at your screen.

 

3 Camera System

Sony main camera

The main camera on Nothing Phone 4a Pro is a 50 MP Sony LYT- 700C sensor, backed by OIS (Optical Image Stabilisation). This large 1/1.56” sensor is roughly 24 % bigger. It can take in up to 64 % more light than typical 1/1.95” sensors in similar devices – meaning cleaner, clearer images. The Sony main camera also allows for autofocus that is 20% faster than the Samsung sensor on Phone (4a).

 

See in the dark

When you take Night Mode shots on Nothing Phone 4a Pro, 7 frames get merged into one, capturing up to 500 % more light than rival cameras. Backed by AI-powered noise reduction, Night Mode image processing uses less power and is up to a second quicker than Phone (4a).

 

Folding light

One of the biggest upgrades to Phone (4a) Pro is the new tetraprism periscopic telephoto lens. Using a dual prism construction, it lets you see further with optical zoom. Plus, it uses less battery and 32% less space than the L-shaped 3x telephoto on Phone (3a) Pro. This means we could fit the same 1/2.75” Samsung JN5 sensor as Phone (3) – also supported by OIS.

 

TrueLens Engine 4

TrueLens Engine 4 uses the latest AI algorithms, tone mapping and semantic segmentation to capture true-to-life shots. It understands what’s going on in every image, and automatically tunes details like highlights and shadows.

 

Zooooom

With Nothing Phone 4a Pro, you can capture 2x lossless in-sensor zoom, 3.5x optical zoom, 7x lossless zoom and – thanks to an advanced triple 12-bit Image Signal Processor (ISP) – up to 140x ultra zoom. The 3.5x optical zoom is equivalent to an 80 mm focal length – perfect for portraits.

 

Action Mode

Nothing Phone 4a Pro’s increased performance means you get the same rapid shutter as Phone (3) – it’s designed for shooting fast-moving subjects like kids or pets. Action Mode is now built directly into the camera, so you can shoot up to 30 Ultra XDR shots in a row.

 

Ultra XDR

Co-developed with Google, Ultra XDR blends Android’s native HDR processing with our custom tuning. It captures 13 RAW frames at different exposures, then combines them to create next-level tonal depth and dynamic range. Ultra XDR images can be shared with supported apps like Google Photos and Instagram.

 

Motion Photos

Ultra XDR Motion Photos capture up to 3 seconds/90 frames of motion in a single shot, with accurate colour, sound recording and highlight information.

 

Captured in 4K

Powered by Qualcomm’s triple Image Signal Processor (ISP), Phone (4a) Pro captures smooth 4K video at 30 frames per second (fps). Footage compares to top-tier standards like Dolby Vision.

We’ve also achieved richer highlights and deeper
shadows with a combination of OIS, EIS (Electronic Image Stabilisation) and AI anti-shake technology.

 

Want to slow things down?

Nothing Phone 4a Pro lets you shoot 120 fps slow-motion video in Full HD.

 

New presets?

Nothing Phone 4a Pro introduces 7 new editing options, including contrast, warmth and vignette. You can also create your own photographic styles or import ones designed by the Nothing Community on Playground. We’ve also added built-in presets.

 

Display

Larger

Nothing Phone 4a Pro has our best display ever. The bigger 6.83-inch AMOLED panel features a 1.5 K resolution – up from 6.77 inches and Full HD on the Phone (3a) series. Plus, Phone (4a) Pro also features a rounder display with thinner bezels and a 93.4% screen-to-body ratio.

 

Faster

A boosted dynamic refresh rate of up to 144 Hz gives you smoother motion. The improved touch response rate of up to 2,500 Hz also means taps and swipes are more than twice as fast as Nothing Phone 3a Pro. The number of games tailored to support Phone (4a) Pro’s refresh rate is constantly growing.

 

Eye-watering bright

A new 5,000 nit peak brightness means the screen on Nothing Phone 4a Pro is our brightest. It’s up to 66 % brighter than the Nothing Phone 3a series. And HDR-compatible content looks great against the true blacks of the AMOLED display. Increased outdoor brightness is also perfect for sunny days, with the screen now able to reach 1600 nits.

Plus, Nothing Phone 4a Pro uses PWM (Pulse Width Modulation), dimming at up to 2,160 Hz, so that it’s easier on your eyes in low brightness.

 

Performance

Qualcomm’s most capable chipset Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 is the most capable chip in the series – and it powers Phone (4a) Pro. Backed by a custom CPU scheduler and Nothing OS optimizations, it delivers 27 % greater CPU, 30 % better GPU and 65 % faster AI performance compared to Phone (3a).

New UFS 3.1 storage allows for 147 % faster read and 380 % faster write speeds. Phone (4a) Pro also features flagship-class LPDDR5X RAM, with read and write speeds twice as fast as the memory inside the Phone (3a) series. It also delivers 30 % great power efficiency.

Paired with our RAM Booster, you can now leverage a total of up to 20GB of memory, meaning apps load faster and multitasking is easier than before.

 

Stable Diffusion 1.5

Nothing Phone 4a Pro is the first of the (a) series to run Stable Diffusion 1.5 for real-time image generation. Gamers will appreciate our Adaptive Performance Engine 4.0, which delivers 120 fps gameplay in titles like Battlegrounds Mobile India, and up to 90 fps in Call of Duty: Mobile.

 

Boosted signal

Nothing Phone 4a Pro features a total of 7 antennas in an exposed, symmetrical design, delivering uninterrupted signal – no matter how you hold your phone. Compared to flagship unibody devices from other companies, Nothing Phone 4a Pro has 42 % faster download speeds, 81 % faster upload speeds and up to 80 % stronger 4G/5G signal.

 

Battery

Bigger

Nothing Phone 4a Pro has the largest battery in (a) series history. Equipped with 5,080 mAh of power, Phone (4a) Pro promises up to 17 hours of combined usage. It’s also built to last, with impact-resistant Safe Cell Technology and the promise of retaining 90 % of its maximum capacity after 1,200 charging cycles –that’s roughly 3 years of use. Rapid 50 W wired charging also means Nothing Phone 4a Pro can charge to 60 % in 30 minutes. Or go from zero to full in just over an hour.

Nothing OS

Think less

Built on top of Android 16, Nothing OS 4.1 is smoother and more responsive. We’ve paired improved performance with more natural animations when opening and closing apps, swiping through photos or switching between functions. Frame interpolation is also used for smoother scrolling and more responsive animations under heavy loads.

Based on feedback, we’ve also added sizing options for home screen components, password recovery for Private Space, hidden apps in Smart Drawer and different ringtones for dual SIM users. We’ve also introduced a custom lock screen, which lets you dress your wallpapers with a depth effect for more immersion. You can also place new widgets straight onto the lock screen.

 

Slow down

The new Breathing Break widget gives you access to simple, structured breathing exercises. We’ve synced them to individually-tuned haptic patterns so you can relax, destress or refocus.

 

Where’s my food?

You can use the Always-On display or notification shade to see real-time progress from apps like Uber, Google Calendar, Zomato, Just Eat and Google Maps. We’ve got support for more apps coming soon.

 

Essential AI tools

At the heart of Nothing OS are Essential AI tools, developed to help you capture, find, recall and create by adapting to how you think and live.

 

Essential Key

It all starts with the Essential Key. We’ve moved it to the left side, so it stands out from all the other buttons on the right. Press the Essential Key to instantly capture a screenshot, record what’s on your screen or create a voice note. These items go straight to Essential Space.

 

Essential Space

Essential Space helps organize your thoughts and keep track of your daily tasks. It’s where you can save mobile content, websites, photos, call recordings or meeting discussions. It’ll automatically analyze these items and extract key information.

With Nothing OS 4.1, Essential Space gets cloud
access, so you can sync across Nothing devices.

 

Essential Search

Introduced on Nothing Phone 3, we’ve brought Essential Search to Nothing Phone 4a Pro. Search for contacts, messages, notes, photos, apps and quick answers by swiping up from the bottom of the screen. Type a keyword to search your phone, or get answers to questions about the weather or sports scores without jumping between apps.

 

Essential Memory

Essential Memory bridges the gap between Essential Space and Essential Search. Quietly powering our Essential AI features, it sorts and analyses everything in your Essential Space.

 

Essential Apps

Essential Apps are small, personal tools. Unlike pre-made apps, they’re custom to your needs – and you can make them with simple, everyday language. With Nothing OS 4.1, we upgraded the Widget Drawer. Now you can find recommended apps and add them to your home screen without opening Playground or any other apps.

 

Playground

Playground is where Essential Apps live. Browse and download tools made by the Nothing Community or share what you’ve built. It’s also where you can find Glyph Tools, camera presets, EQ profiles and more.
