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.

A refined clamshell with rolled aluminium edges and the alert slider back, but the 3.4-inch FlexWindow cover screen is smaller than Motorola's and durability worries persist.
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.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6
A new 50MP main (the same sensor as the Galaxy S24) plus a 12MP ultrawide. A real upgrade for a flip, but no telephoto and weaker than the same-year S24.
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 6
A 4,000mAh battery (about 10% bigger than the Flip 5) with 25W wired and 15W wireless — better than past Flips but small and slow next to clamshell rivals.
Nothing Phone (4a)
Near-stock Nothing OS is repeatedly singled out as one of the best, cleanest and most customisable Android experiences at any price.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6
Galaxy AI plus seven years of updates. The longevity is excellent; the cover-screen software remains the line's frustration.
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.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6
At $1,099 (256GB) it's a $100 hike over the Flip 5, with cheaper, more capable Motorola Razrs as the main pressure.
