Is it any good?
Nothing's base model takes an unusual swing for its price bracket. Starting at ₹36,999, the Phone (4a) brings a 50MP periscope zoom lens into the mid-range tier, an optical reach most rivals reserve for significantly more expensive phones. It is built for buyers who value portrait focal lengths and clean software over raw benchmark chasing.
The spec sheet makes sensible choices to balance hardware costs. You get a Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 processor, a sharp 1.5K flexible AMOLED screen reaching 4,500 nits, and a bumped 5,400 mAh battery tailored for the Indian market. Nothing OS 4.1 remains uncluttered, backed by three years of Android updates and six years of security patches.
The catch is charging and regional omissions. Wired charging tops out at 50W with no adapter in the box, wireless charging is missing, and the Indian model omits NFC. If you can live without tap-to-pay, the optical zoom package stands out for the money.
