The Nothing Phone (4a) Pro is a great buy. It has its own character, just like Nothing phones before it, and this increases its appeal for those not willing to accept the minimal upgrades Samsung and Google have made to competing devices this year.

Nothing is the challenger here, and fewer people will be comfortable buying a phon
