A standout 3.5x periscope telephoto at this price and a solid main camera, undercut by an under-optimised zoom and a basic ultrawide.

Same 12MP main + 12MP ultrawide + 10MP selfie camera duo as the Flip 4 — the SD 8 Gen 2 image processing helps, but lack of a telephoto and unchanged sensors are real gaps versus rivals.
Nothing Phone (4a)
A capable mid-range chip that handles everyday use and casual gaming well — not a powerhouse, but appropriate for the price.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5
Bespoke Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy (3.36GHz) — same chip as the S23 family and Fold 5. Flagship-grade for everyday use and noticeably more efficient than the Flip 4's 8+ Gen 1.
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.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5
3,700mAh — only 10% more than the Flip 4 and the lineup's weakest. GSMArena measured ~15h video / 12h Wi-Fi web. 25W charging is slow, and oddly the Flip 5 takes longer to reach 100% than the Flip 4.
