Nothing Phone (4a) is set to feature a fresh design and a flat AMOLED display. Learn how you can buy it on Easy EMIs through Bajaj Finserv once it hits the market.
In January 2026, Carl Pei, the CEO of Nothing, posted on social media about bringing some improvements to the next series of Nothing phones. In the following weeks, Pei further raised the anticipation and intrigue, promising that Nothing Phone (4a) will offer ‘close to’ flagship-level experience across the board. Reports and early rumours suggest that Phone (4a) will sport a refreshed design, a new chipset, and a flat AMOLED panel, making it one of the most eagerly awaited launches of the year.
Nothing Phone (4a) and Nothing Phone (4a) Pro are expected to be launched sometime in early March (March 5th, if rumours are to be believed). Once it is available for purchase in the Indian market, you can upgrade your device effortlessly through Bajaj Finserv Easy EMIs. Additional benefits, such as quick approvals, flexible tenures, and zero down payment offers, make big-ticket purchases affordable and accessible to everyone.
Nothing Phone (4a) – Offering flagship-level experience
With the recent announcement that Nothing will not introduce a flagship in 2026, all eyes are on Phone (4a) and Phone (4a) Pro. The Phone 4a series will continue with its signature transparent design, but the rear panel is expected to get a subtle refresh. The phone might get new patterns and layout tweaks, while the smartphone is also rumoured to house the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 processor.
Rumoured specifications:
| RAM | 8GB, 12GB |
| Storage | 128GB, 256GB UFS 3.1 storage |
| Processor | Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 |
| Display | 6.82-inch 120 Hz AMOLED display |
| Rear cameras | 64MP (main) + 50MP (telephoto) + 8MP (ultra-wide) |
| Front camera | 32MP |
| Battery | 5,080 mAh with 50W fast charging |
| Operating system | Nothing OS 4.0, based on Android 16 |
| Durability | IP65 rating |
Simplicity with style – Phone (4a) design
Nothing Phone (4a) will retain Nothing’s trademark transparent design, but the rear panel is expected to get a fresh pattern, setting it apart from its predecessor. While no design renders have been leaked so far, Phone (4a), according to Pei himself, will show a ‘complete evolution’ compared to the Phone (3a).
Flagship performance – Faster storage and upgraded chipset
Nothing has followed the ‘substance over style’ mantra since its early days, and the Nothing Phone (4a) will continue that tradition by bringing flagship-level performance to the mid-range segment. According to reports, the smartphone will run on a Snapdragon 7-series chip (most likely the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4). This decision was likely made to focus on balanced performance and power efficiency.
One of the biggest upgrades (that we know so far) is the shift to UFS 3.1 storage, a massive upgrade from the UFS 2.2 storage used in the Phone (3a) series. The new flash storage is engineered to improve the phone’s performance, resulting in faster app launches, rapid file transfers, and smoother multitasking.
Eye-catching display – Visuals that flow
Rumours suggest that the Nothing Phone (4a) will sport a 6.82-inch 120 Hz AMOLED display, likely bringing improvements in colour accuracy, brightness, and outdoor visibility. This will make gaming and binge-watching movies on the device a visual treat.
Imaging system – What to expect
Since the beginning, Nothing has prioritised software optimisation over higher megapixel cameras. The same is expected from the Phone (4a), and we may see enhanced image processing, better low-light performance, and improved video stabilisation. This translates into better, more consistent captures across different lighting conditions.
Battery enhancements and durability
Nothing Phone (4a) is rumoured to feature a 5,080 mAh battery, a slight improvement over the Phone (3a), which housed a 5,000 mAh battery. While this may not seem significant, hardware and software optimisations can see the device lasting for an entire day on a single charge (moderate use). You can also expect the battery to come with 50W fast charging support, like the Phone (3a).
In terms of durability, the phone will come with an IP65 rating, meaning it is protected from water splashes and dust. This is an improvement over its predecessor’s IP64 rating, offering better water resistance.
Nothing Phone (4a) – Expected price
Carl Pei recently mentioned that the Nothing Phone (4a) and Nothing Phone (4a) Pro will be priced higher than the Phone (3a) series models. The reason given was increased memory costs due to the AI boom, so it is almost certain that the Phone (4a) will carry a slightly expensive price tag.
| Model | Price |
| Nothing Phone (4a) (8GB RAM + 128GB ROM) | Rs. 32,000* |
