Anonymous, 27 May 2026There people who not only like this design, but would pay a giant premium for it? This design?... moreThe design is unique and I think most people don't see the beauty in that since their minds are fixed on the similar design used but most phone companies.
For me it's a great phone with a great design..

And what flagship would that be?
I asume you mean Poco X8 Ultra.
Okay so why is Oppo Find X9 Ultra costing 1800€ when Poco X8 Ultra is so much cheaper and also a flagship phone?
Maybe because every phone has their own value. This phone is not selling hardware like Poco for example. Amd it can't be cheap as Poco brand is selling much more phones and they can get a price cut on every component inside the phone.
This phone is selling the design.
All other phones are generic looking phones just a copy of another copy. So this phone has a value.
It's just not for everyone and that's fine.
We don't have to like the same things.

Who is b... moreWelp... Maybe people who have more than 2 braincells in their brains? Sure, it may seem like the (4a) Pro has a mediocre chip, mediocre cameras, a small battery with slow charging at a high price, but have you considered processing that information, maybe? Carl Pei already stated they won't do a flagship this year. Why? Riddles me. Me and a lot of other people bought this phone purely out of curiosity for its design, performance, as well as its bloatware experience. It's a jump from people loving Xiaomi and Samsung devices trying out something new. Bigger numbers don't seem better. Their battery is quite good, even for my friend who uses their phone 15 hours a day (alas, without gaming). Their OS optimization is to thank that. Even 144 Hz is totally generous. Their charging is completely fine as long as you aren't in life-or-no-battery-oh-no situation the whole time, or aren't a total maniac for quick charging times. The cameras I would say are okay, yeah, the review from GSM already states everything.
Not your phone? Fine. But if you can't see from the vision of a (4a) Pro buyer, then just move on.

I’d happily buy this phone instead of the OnePlus Nord 5. Even with the weaker processor (the Snapdragon 7 is plenty good enough for me, and actually better in terms of energy efficiency), purely for the sake of the operating system. Since the merger with Oppo, Color OS has become very clunky and overloaded with AI features and customisation restrictions.
But. 256 gigabytes. Are you serious? There isn’t even a 512 GB version. That’s just a joke. My lossless Spotify music alone takes up 100 gigabytes. And photos another 50. By 2026, that’ll be the end of the phone. Literally everything is fine except THAT. And it’s not even clear why. They haven’t even released a flagship where this isn’t an issue.
It’s always like this with Nothing. Take the 3A Pro, for example. Everything’s great. But the memory’s slow.
And even their flagship, the Nothing Phone 3. Everything’s brilliant, but even after a while of OS tweaks, Google Pay might not work. But that’s a BASIC THING that should be there by default everywhere.
They always make a great phone, but one detail ruins the eberything.

I have small hands. 4a is such a bulky device to use when compared to the pro version. None of the reviewers seem to place absolutely no value on a midranger being relatively thin, but at the same time they drool over iPhone Air. They don't even seem to mind that the only reason for Pixel 10a having a flat back is that it's fatter than any other device around the usual camera bump.
Capt. Cake, 09 Apr 20263+5yrs software support is what you call abysmal?
Who the f*ck uses one phone more than 4yrs? I change it every year.
Doesn't cost me more than $400-$500 for the replacement.
Technology is ever-changing, so it makes no sense to be stuck on the same phone for 5 years in a row.
Although, I get people who don't want to upgrade.
A flagship will be more than sufficient for most people, unless it's from Apple where certain specs are outdated, even on their latest offering.

Go feed your Chinese masters your data. Those higher spec phone for similar price is not for charity or for good of the humanity either.
HyperOS is nowhere near NothingOS in terms of optimization, smoothness or bloat free nature. HyperOS is one great OS which put native Ads and Tracking user from OS itself.

Boring but its not HyperOS at least.
OnePlus Nord6 destroys everything though in this price segment.

Capt. Cake, 09 Apr 20263+5yrs software support is what you call abysmal? Who the f*ck uses one phone more than 4yrs? What matters to me is quality of updates vs 7 years of green line updates of some prominent brand. Nothing OS is highly optimized compared to big brands OS and I expect software updates continue to be so.

Not saying this is a bad phone, but its essentially just a watered down Phone 3, being sold for $100 cheaper than the Phone 3 goes for. This phone looks good, but it just isn't a great deal, especially considering the abysmal software support.

My redmi note 15 5g takes better photos and only cost me £170. Talk about fuzzy with artifacts.. shockingly bad for a pro model considering its price as well.
