Hey everyone,

I just bought a Nothing Phone (4a Pro) from Croma (it’s only 2 days old), and I’ve already run into a worrying issue.

Twice now, while watching something on YouTube this has happened:

The screen suddenly freezes

Then I see small black square artifacts/glitches

After that, the entire screen turns solid green

The phone becomes unresponsive, and I have to force restart

After restarting, everything works normally again — but since this has happened twice in 2 days, I’m concerned.

I haven’t noticed overheating or anything unusual otherwise. It only happened during video playback so far.

My questions:

Is this likely a hardware issue (display/GPU) or could it be software?

Has anyone else faced something similar on Nothing phones?

Should I go for a replacement immediately, or try things like updates/reset first?

Would really appreciate your advice 🙏
