Nothing Phone (4a): Here's what we know so far

The upcoming Phone (4a) series is likely to be available in two variants-- Phone 4a and 4a Pro. They are expected come in two new vibrant colours--pink and blue, in addition to regular white and black shades.

Both the devices will retain the signature see-through design language, but look more refined than the predecessor. Users will be able to see the internal components and the triple camera sensors.

In the teaser (shown below), look a little closely, there is a vertically aligned LED-based Glyph bar on the right side. It is touted to be much better than the predecessor. It has nine individually controllable mini-LEDs, and is said to be 40 per cent brighter than the previous (a) series. It is a patented tech, which promises to offer a more natural, neutral, and bleed-free glow.

The Phone 4a is said to sport a 6.7-inch AMOLED screen and supports 120Hz refresh rate.

It is expected to come with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s series Gen 4 silicon, Android 16-based Nothing OS 3.0, 12GB RAM, 128GB/256GB UFS 3.1, triple camera module-- main 64MP + 50MP telephoto lens + 50MP ultra-wide sensor with LED flash on the back, 32MP front camera and a 5,500mAh battery with 50W charging speed.

The Phone 4a Pro is said to sport a 6.82-inch full HD AMOLED screen and supports 120Hz refresh rate.

It will be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s series Gen 4 chipset, Android 16-based NothingOS 3.0, 12GB RAM, 128GB/256GB UFS 3.1, triple 50MP camera module with LED flash on the back, 32MP front camera and a 5,500mAh battery with 50W charging speed.

Nothing Phone 4a series.

Also, brace for a higher price tag for the Phone (4a) series, as there are huge global supply constraints to procure RAM and storage chipsets. Most of the semiconductor companies are finding it hard to meet the demands of AI firms, who are scaling their data centres in much faster pace than ever before. And, there is a very small number of units to share with smart device makers.
