Introduction
While Nothing certainly started out with a very simple and straightforward lineup, things have grown quite a bit lately, and that’s not even counting the CMF sub-brand offshoots. So, beyond the mainline numbered models and the “A” variants, there are now also middle-ground options, like the Nothing Phone (4A) Pro.
The Nothing Phone (4A) Pro isn’t really that different from the regular Nothing Phone (4A). A slightly better build with better ingress security, a larger display with a higher refresh rate, a slightly more powerful chipset and of course, an iteration on the recognizable Nothing design, with a dot-matrix mini-LED arrangement on the back, called Glyph Matrix. All the improvements have been included, although there are other subtle things scattered here and there.

Of course, even with the Pro moniker there comes a price increase – about 100 euros, which is no mean sum, especially in this price segment. So much, in fact, that we wonder if the phone has what it takes at once.
Luckily, we have a detailed review ahead and a chance to really get to the bottom of the matter and finally make a value judgment.
unbox
The Nothing Phone (4A) Pro comes in a fairly typical two-piece cardboard box with an outer sleeve. Inside, the handset sits in a dedicated cradle that keeps it well protected during transit. The insert appears to be made entirely of cardboard, which is in line with Nothing’s eco-friendly packaging approach.
There is no charger bundled in the box. There’s no note included on the packaging recommending a 50W USB Power Delivery charger, but we’ll go into more detail about that in the charging section.
You do get a Nothing-branded USB Type-C to Type-C cable, although it’s a standard 3A passive, non-E-marked unit with the company’s signature SIM ejector tool.
This year, Nothing has also added a thick, transparent soft TPU case to the retail package, which is a welcome addition and rounds out the accessory bundle nicely.
