Making calls, sending messages, surfing the internet - for most people, everyday life is hard to imagine without a smartphone. This makes it all the more important that these devices are reliable. Which model is the test winner? Which one has the best mobile camera or the longest-lasting battery?...

With the Phone (4a) Pro, Nothing delivers exactly what the London-based manufacturer is known for: a well-equipped smartphone with a distinctive design at an attractive price. The metal casing looks calmer and a bit more elegant than the transparent back of other Nothing smartphones, yet the Phone (4a) Pro is immediately recognizable as a Nothing phone...

The Nothing Phone (4a) Pro impresses with its elegant aluminium body and outstanding camera system. Its high display brightness and consistent performance make it a great value-for-money everyday companion.

Nothing offers a lot for the money: a unique design, great software with AI gimmicks and a good camera with telephoto. The 4a Pro is clearly ahead thanks to its brighter display and more speed, but for 349 euros the 4a is a good deal - at least until the update guarantee expires.
