The Nothing Phone (4a) Pro is ₹49,999 for 8GB + 128GB on Flipkart, with a Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 and a 5,400mAh battery. The only 128GB model here, so storage is its main limit.

Exchange offers: read the fine print

Should you buy now or wait?
Buy now if you need a phone for Diwali gifting or your current phone is failing. Festive prices and bank offers can vanish once the sales end.
Wait if you can hold off a few weeks. Big launches are close, including the Motorola Signature 27 on 5 November, and our Diwali or December launches guide helps you decide. For other budgets, see best phones under ₹30,000 and best phones under ₹50,000.
