Buying advice for Algeria

Both Nothing Phone (3a) Pro and Nothing Phone (4a) Pro are sold in Algeria, but they fit different priorities.

Nothing Phone (3a) Pro is 25% cheaper at 118,000 DZD versus 158,000 DZD for the Nothing Phone (4a) Pro, leaving room for accessories or a longer screen-protection plan.

Above 100,000 DZD you are paying for the chipset, camera tuning, and long-term software support, so weigh those against price.
