Nothing Phone (4a)
On February 23, 2026, Nothing officially announced the appearance of the Phone (4a) on the X platform today.
The biggest change of Nothing Phone (4a) is the introduction of Glyph Bar light bars, consisting of six square LED modules next to the rear camera module, each module containing nine independently controllable mini LEDs, which are brighter than the Glyph Interface of the previous generation model.
In terms of appearance, Phone (4a) continues the brand's classic semi transparent back cover design, with a horizontally placed rear camera module containing three lenses and updated internal contours.
Meanwhile, we can see that Nothing has moved the Essential button of this phone to the left side of the body, while the volume and lock buttons are located on the right side.
Based on previous rumors, the Nothing Phone (4a) is expected to be equipped with a 6.78-inch AMOLED screen, support 120Hz high refresh rate, Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chip, 5000mAh battery, support 50W fast charging, and a rear camera expected to include a 50 megapixel main camera, a 50 megapixel 3.5x telephoto lens, and an 8-megapixel ultra wide angle.
