Like before, the person's weight was hanging from the phone's hinge while the sides of the phone were attached to the ceiling (and previously, to the zip line). This is not the weakest orientation for the hinge, but it's still way above the strain that the hinge will face in daily use.
The flashiest comparison revolves around the Glyph interface - it's a simple Glyph bar on the non-Pro and a full-on circular dot matrix display on the Pro. Getting technical for a bit, the Pro has 137 LEDs, while the regular has just 63. As you can imagine, you can do all sorts of clever stuff with the Glyph Matrix on the Nothing Phone (4a) Pro - animating your timer, different callers, you can even use it as a selfie display for the main camera.
While the Galaxy S26 lineup that's about to launch next month is rumored to be feature Exynos and Qualcomm chips earlier reports suggested Samsung might be ready to move to its own silicon for the following generation. Now however prominent Weibo tipster Digital Chat Station claims the Galaxy S27 Ultra will maintain the current tradition of running only a Snapdragon chipset.
Apart from the different frame material, the S26 Ultra features more rounded corners, and its camera island is more exposed than last year's model. The new phone reuses the same Corning Gorilla Armor 2 protection across its displays and Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on its back, just like last year's model.
The OrigArmor Screen Protector has a 7-layer anti-reflective coating that keeps reflectivity under 0.8%. This is five times better than a regular screen protector, which has a reflectivity of over 4.5%. Additionally, the glass has a light transmittance of over 95% (compared to 91% for regular protectors).
