They at these conditions can't really make a competitive flagship. Last time

00:00:04

they tried was Nothing Phone 3 last year. What they do thrive at is really good mid-range phones. These are

00:00:09

competitive, good, wellpriced mid-range phones. The Nothing Phone 4a is £349. £349. It's really good for that price.

00:00:18

Triple cameras for that price. iPhone can't say that. Pixel can't say that.

00:00:21

It's an OLED. It's 120 Hz. It's a Snapdragon 7s Gen 4. It's a good phone

00:00:26

for $3.49. And then the 4a Pro that you're holding is $500 and it's not as

00:00:33

great of a deal, but it's still pretty good. Metal phones are sick, but no wireless charging is sad. True. The 4a

00:00:38

does not have wireless charging. >> I won't miss wireless charging, but I'm

00:00:40

glad they at least gave you the premium other option. >> Yeah. Yeah. The 3.49 nothing 4a is a

00:00:46

great deal and a really good phone for the price. You're spending theoretically

00:00:49

$150 more for this pro phone. All you're getting honestly is the aluminum build.

00:00:55

Yeah. and the glyph matrix. You know, the screens are almost the same. They're

00:00:59

a tiny bit bigger. The pixel density is almost the same, but the brightness is almost the same. The cameras are almost

00:01:04

the same. >> The same chipset. >> This chipset goes from a Snapdragon 7S

00:01:08

Gen 4 to a Snapdragon 7 Gen 4. >> The RAM is the same. The storage is the same. It's like almost the same phone.

00:01:14

Pro features, I'm like, "Oh, it's the Pro. Maybe there's some camera features

00:01:17

or there's some Pro things that are enabled by the software." I think it's

00:01:20

just HDR video on the Pro and 140x zoom instead of 70x zoom.
