Reviews

8.2/10 by Shubh Bhushan | 02 Apr 2026

The Nothing Phone 4a offers a well-balanced experience that emphasises everyday usability over impressive specifications. Its transparent design still feels unique, the display appears natural, and the cameras work reliably in various situations. Battery life is sufficient to get through a busy day, and Nothing OS 4.1 maintains a clean, smooth interface. However, the Glyph interface feels less expressive than before, performance is not the best in this price range, and the IP64 rating provides only basic protection. Nonetheless, the Phone 4a remains an easy phone to appreciate for its consistency and thoughtful design.

8.6/10 by Mustafa Khan | 15 Jan 2026

The Realme 16 Pro+ is a classic case of a phone that knows what it wants to be. It looks premium, lasts forever on a charge, and delivers genuinely impressive cameras, especially for portraits and everyday photography. The bright AMOLED display is a joy for content, even if its 144Hz promise feels underused. Where it stumbles is raw performance and gaming. At Rs 40,000, its not the all-rounder, but for camera lovers and heavy users, it still makes a strong case.
