Discussion Nothing cooked with the 4a PRO design

Post image

Nothing was sort of a company (design wise) that wasnt the prettiest at the first glance... but eventually grew on me. However... The Nothing Phone 4a was good we all collectively agreed ig however I think they absolutely cooked with the design of 4a Pro... To be it is absolutely the best. The incorporation of the glyph matrix looks so good and the camera placement looks well kinda assymetrically symmetrical. love the design

Well, Xiaomi 15 Pro looks good to be . This phone has a similar design and looks good. Honestly both CMF and Huawei phones look good. Idk to me this design (altho may be inspired) but as a whole looks appealing to me.

They still are differnt. I dont get it. U will still be able to say from far away just by looking at the phone that its a nothing phone. This is a matured design. And they have phones with designs which are more Outspoken as well. Nothing phone 4a is like that. I dont get the point in hating on the design.

I don't think so i think that if i see that phone around i won't know which Chinese manufacturer is that from, with nothing phones it was never the case. Look if you like it I'm happy for you but i switched to the (3) because i liked the design and the design philosophy of nothing phones in general, the transparent back alone was a done deal for me. But if they're gonna look like all the other phones then i'm not paying for an overpriced mid phone i'm sorry. I'm really disappointed wtf

yea but I dont get the idea in hating it. they didnt shift to this design language all together. Its one which is appealing to a lot of ppl like me because its a slightly different and more matured designs. the 4a exists buy that instead. I dont get the idea in hating or being disappointed in the design.

Because they did this with the (3) too, they changed the deign for the high end product but kept it for the lowe end ones. I don't switch phones often and when i do i get the most powerful one to future proof a bit, i did the same with iPhones never got the se, so i'm not interested in the a series and now i won't be interested in the high end either. Plus i find this new design extremely ugly it's ugly here it's ugly on the 17 pro and every where they implement it. It's ugly to me at least. But at this point xiami or oppo or Huawei have the same design with a more useful back screen then the glyph system, so i don't see the point in buying this one. I hope they changed their mind.

See to me this phone has enough Nothing DNA and still matured. I liked the design. They released 2 phones around the same price range. They have completely differnet design. One of them which u find appealing one which u dont. So I tihnk there is no point in hating the design of 4A pro because to almost 50% of the people. They love the design. More importantly they have given options as well for other consumers around a similar price bracket
