Last year, the Nothing Phone (3a) was voted as having a better value than its (3a) Pro sibling, while people that might have bought the Pro were instead pulled towards the then-upcoming Nothing Phone (3) flagship. So, when we posted last week’s poll, we were sure that the (4a) would prevail over its Pro sibling.
After all, the Nothing Phone (4a) closed the camera gap to the Pro. But look at its poll results – 25% of voters prefer the Pro, while some 40% of the vote is split between people who like it to various degrees with pricing emerging as a concern.
Pricing was indeed a major issue for both phones, but don’t let that nearly 20% pie slice in the chart fool you – the pricier Pro model was received more favorably, so it’s about value for money, not just the price.
Indeed, the Nothing Phone (4a) Pro already has a solid fanbase. And there is no flagship coming this year to pull interest away from the Pro like what happened with the previous model.
There were differing opinions on the style of the two (4a) models – a true love-it-or-hate-it design. Either way, the more premium build of the Pro won over some people. The performance boost over the (4a) also played a role.
That’s it for now, stay tuned for our full review of the Nothing Phone (4a), which is coming soon.
