Nothing's signature transparent-inspired look with the Glyph — divisive but genuinely distinctive at a budget price, and a real step forward from the Phone 3a.

Poco X7 Pro
A sub-£250 phone with a true flagship IP68 rating and Gorilla Glass 7i — a standout durability story at this price, with one finish that ages especially well.
Nothing Phone (4a)
A genuine highlight for the price — a big 6.78-inch 120Hz AMOLED that's bright, sharp and HDR-capable, beating similarly priced rivals.
Poco X7 Pro
A 6.67-inch 1.5K AMOLED that punches well above its price on brightness and smoothness.
Nothing Phone (4a)
A standout 3.5x periscope telephoto at this price and a solid main camera, undercut by an under-optimised zoom and a basic ultrawide.
Poco X7 Pro
A dependable 50MP main with excellent video stabilization — good for the price, but a clear secondary priority on a performance-first phone.
Nothing Phone (4a)
A ~5,080mAh cell with 50W wired charging — reviewers call endurance strong, but a notable group of owners report disappointing screen-on time.
Poco X7 Pro
A roomy 6,000mAh cell (6,550mAh in India) with fast 90W charging and the brick in the box — endurance that's good in daily use but debated under heavy load.
Nothing Phone (4a)
Aggressively priced below the Pixel 10a with a more distinctive design and a real telephoto — the standout budget pick for buyers who want personality.
Poco X7 Pro
By broad consensus the best-value cheap phone of 2025 — a gaming-and-multimedia bargain that out-specs phones costing far more.
