Nothing Phone 4a Pro Review | Go Pro?

Reviewing the Nothing Phone 4a Pro, comparing it vs the regular 4a, to see if the camera tech, battery life, gaming performance etc are worth the upgrade. I've been testing the Nothing 4a Pro as my full-time smartphone, so here's my thoughts so far - one of the best value mid-range mobiles of 2026?

You'll find a few upgrades here compared with the regular model, starting with a faster Snapdragon processor. This does mean a boost to the gaming performance on titles like Wuthering Waves for the Nothing Phone 4a Pro. But is it enough of a bump to make that higher price worthwhile?

Likewise, the camera hardware has been slightly swapped around for this more expensive smartphone. You once again have a telephoto camera, which is still rare at this mid-range asking price. And the Nothing Phone 4a Pro sports the same battery tech as its cheaper sibling.

I've reviewed a lot of smartphones around the £400 to £500 price point lately, including hot rivals like the Poco X8 Pro Max. Let us know your own favourites below, and would you like to see more of the Nothing Phone 4a Pro?
