Editorial report

Nothing Phone (4a) 12 GB / 256 GB / Global technical sheet

Nothing Phone (4a) suits anyone seeking an exceptionally bright display and a flexible rear camera system. Its main trade-off is a 5,080 mAh battery, smaller than most phones of its time.

The 6.78″ AMOLED display reaches 4,500 nits and 440 ppi, both better than most phones of its time; its 120 Hz refresh rate is typical. A 3.5x optical telephoto zoom ranks among the best of its time, while the main camera includes optical image stabilization. Its 50 MP resolution is typical, but the f/1.9 aperture is worse than most. The system records 4K at 30 fps and includes an ultrawide camera.

The Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 reaches an AnTuTu score of 1,183,775, better than most phones of its time. The phone also has 5G, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC and dual SIM. The configuration shown pairs 8 GB of RAM with 128 GB of storage; the phone is sold from 8 GB / 128 GB to 12 GB / 256 GB, with no expandable storage. Overall, it is better than most phones of its time, with a NeoScore of 7.3. Its launch price is below most of them, and it offers good value for money.
