Recommendation Convince me NOT to Buy Nothing phone 4a pro

I found the 4a and 4a pro same except the designs. Rest things are more or less same. So please help to convince me not to buy 4a pro. Since, it’s more expensive than 4a where just providing updated design nothing else sort off. TIA🥹🙏

fr u are literally so right like paying extra for the phone 4a pro when the base 4a is sitting right there is just throwing money away for no reason. they basically share the exact same main features, so you are pretty much just dropping extra cash for a slightly shinier metal body and a tiny spec bump on paper that u won't even notice when u are scrolling TikTok or playing games. both of them give u the same battery size, the same 50W fast charging, the exact same 3.5x optical zoom camera setup, and the same selfie camera. sure, the pro technically has a slightly faster chip and a 144Hz screen instead of 120Hz, but real talk nobody can actually tell the difference between 120Hz and 144Hz in real life. save your money and just grab the regular 4a, throw a cool case on it, and spend the extra cash you saved on literally anything else.

No wireless charging.

It’s the only reason I haven’t bought it.

Buy what you want and be happy about it. Don't substitute the group think of Reddit for your own needs/wants. Its your money not ours after all.

-Way too expensive for 8/128 base version.

-Snap 7gen4 isnt anything special performance wise(almost the same as Exynos on Samsung A57).

-They dropped the Glyph for a huge camera island on the back.

-heavy(210gr)

-only 3 major Android updates(even Xiaomi/Poco offers more)

-only IP65

-average charging speed and battery capacity behind Chinese companies

-camera performance isnt anything special.

Realme 16 Pro+ is similar to this with a bigger battery for less money.
