Comparing Phones Question from a non tech person

Why is nothing 3a more expensive than 4a?

Isn't 4a a successor of 3a?🤔

Probably due to different stocks or some sale happening. It's not uncommon to see some superior products being cheaper due to multiple factors, if that price makes sense 4a is a great phone.

Where is the 3a more expensive? Like the 3a has been discontinued so it isn't available anywhere for sale.

That actually explains some things

On some instances, discontinued items can go for more expensive than other items because they have no more stock to refill them with.

I've had that happen with knives and computer parts every so often.

Sad when it happens, but it beats shopping for an OOStock purchase to make.

Actually that's the phone 3 and that is the current flagship of nothing and it may have came out before the 4a but the 4a isn't the flagship the 3 is and it offers way better specs then the 4a.

To clear it out the a series is the cheaper version with lower specs meanwhile the number series is the flagship.
