Nothing Phone (4a) Pro Looks Almost Perfect, and It’s Launching Soon in Nepal!

The Nothing Phone (3a) Pro found itself in an awkward position last year. It had nearly identical specs to the regular (3a), the same chipset, but with a higher price tag. This time, however, that does not seem to be an issue. As a matter of fact, considering the price it might launch at, the Nothing Phone (4a) Pro might be THE premium midrange to get!

What is the Price of Nothing Phone (4a) Pro in Nepal?

Even though Nothing announced the Phone (4a) and the Pro model at the same time, only the standard Phone (4a) is available for purchase in Nepal. The Pro variant hasn’t launched in Nepal yet. But that’s about to change. Nothing Nepal has started teasing the Pro variant, and the Nothing (4a) Pro should arrive in Nepal in the next few days.

As for the pricing, it isn’t a total mystery. As expected, the Nothing Phone (4a) Pro comes with a noticeable price bump over the regular (4a), following the typical Pro model pricing strategy.

In India, the Nothing Phone (4a) Pro starts at INR 40,000. Based on how the regular (4a) is priced in Nepal, we estimate the (4a) Pro will land around Rs 69,999 for the 8/128GB, Rs 73,999 for the 8/256GB, and Rs 78,999 for the 12/256GB variant.

Looking back at the Nothing Phone (3a) and the Phone (3a) Pro, they both had the same processor, which is fairly common for base and Pro variants of a smartphone lineup. However, this meant the Phone (3a) delivered excellent price-to-performance value, while the same couldn’t quite be said for the Phone (3a) Pro.

To justify the higher price, Nothing equipped the Phone (3a) Pro with a periscope telephoto camera, a feature that was missing on the standard Phone (3a). This year, however, that trend seems to be changing for the better.

How exactly? Let’s dive in and find out.

Nothing Phone (4a) Pro Overview

The Nothing Phone (4a) Pro introduces something we haven’t seen on a Nothing smartphone before: an aluminum back and aluminum frame, replacing the iconic transparent design. However, a few remnants of the transparent aesthetic remain around the camera plateau, which seems to be the talking point in the smartphone industry right now.

This plateau houses a triple-camera setup arranged in a rather unusual way. But then again, it still looks a lot more symmetrical than the design atrocity we saw on the Nothing Phone (3). The Glyph Matrix also makes a comeback on the Phone (4a) Pro, featuring 137 individually addressable mini-LEDs, behaving similarly to the one found on the Nothing Phone (3).

It’s also the slimmest Nothing phone yet, measuring just 7.9mm in thickness. And just like the Nothing Phone (4a), the Pro variant also adopts the new button configuration, with volume rocker and power button on the right and Essential Key on the left.

The display looks very impressive. The resolution has been upgraded to 1.5K from 1080p, which was much needed. It’s an AMOLED panel, so colors should be vibrant and accurate. And with a 144Hz refresh rate, the UI and visuals should feel buttery smooth.

Nothing has also improved things in the protection department, offering Gorilla Glass 7i along with an IP65 rating. Sure, IP65 isn’t the most impressive rating out there, but seeing Nothing upgrade its semi-premium lineup from Panda Glass to Gorilla Glass is definitely a welcome change.

Last year’s situation was straightforward: both the (3a) and (3a) Pro shared the same chipset, making the regular (3a) the smarter buy. The Pro variant wasn’t bad, but it existed mainly for people who wanted good cameras.

This year is different. The (4a) Pro steps up with the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4, while the (4a) uses the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4. Paired with 8GB or 12GB of RAM, the Pro delivers noticeably better performance. The 8GB variant offers 128GB or 256GB storage, while the 12GB model maxes out at 256GB.

Battery capacity remains the same across both the Phone (4a) and Phone (4a) Pro at 5,400mAh, but that’s the Indian version. We will likely get the international variant, which is capped at a respectable 5,080mAh. Sadly, wireless charging is still missing.

For optics, the 50MP main camera and 8MP ultrawide remain unchanged. However, the 50MP periscope telephoto can now zoom up to 3.5x optically. That said, there are a few compromises. The sensor size has been reduced to 1/2.75″ from 1/1.95″, and the aperture now sits at ƒ/2.88, a noticeable downgrade from ƒ/2.6.

There are also a few other disappointments. Despite using the 7 Gen 4, the Phone (4a) Pro can only record up to 4K at 30fps. For comparison, the Vivo V70, which runs the same chipset, supports 4K video at 60fps, putting the Phone (4a) Pro at a slight disadvantage.

Lastly, Nothing OS continues to be one of the cleanest Android experiences around, with minimal bloatware and an option to toggle into a very minimalistic design. The Phone (4a) Pro ships with Android 16 layered with Nothing OS 4.1. Software support includes three years of Android upgrades and six years of security patches.

Last year, the Nothing Phone (3a) Pro fell a bit short despite being positioned as a semi-premium device. The build quality did not feel up to the mark, the 1080p panel felt underwhelming, and the performance was controversial. All of this made the (3a) Pro feel like a step sideways rather than a step up from the standard (3a). The periscope telephoto was a unique addition for sure, but that alone was not enough to make it a better value for money.

But now, that’s not the case anymore. It now has a proper metal build, something that some established premium midrangers still skimp on. That, paired with the Gorilla Glass on the front, finally gives it a solid and premium feel. The 7 Gen 4 offers it a much-needed performance distinction over the standard Phone (4a).

All in all, it looks like Nothing has addressed many of the shortcomings of its predecessor and delivered a fairly compelling mid-ranger with the Nothing Phone (4a) Pro. If Nothing Nepal prices it lower than our estimates, the (4a) Pro will become an absolute steal!
