Nothing has begun teasing its next midrange smartphone lineup, effectively confirming that the Phone (4a) series is approaching launch. While the company has not shared specifications outright, the teaser campaign signals that the Nothing Phone (4a) and Phone (4a) Pro are likely to be unveiled in early March, aligning with recent rumors pointing to a global release window.
The initial teaser is deliberately minimal, consistent with Nothing’s established communication style. A sequence of colored dots shown in the brand’s latest post appears to hint at the color options planned for the upcoming devices. The visible shades include black, white, pink, yellow, and blue, suggesting a broader palette than the more restrained finishes seen on earlier models. Whether all colors will be available across both variants remains unclear, but Nothing has historically differentiated finishes between standard and Pro models.

Beyond aesthetics, a few technical details are already known. Nothing has confirmed that at least one model in the Phone (4a) series will feature UFS 3.1 storage, a step up from the UFS 2.2 used in the Phone (3a) generation. While not cutting-edge by flagship standards, the move brings tangible improvements in read and write speeds, which should translate into faster app launches and smoother overall system performance in day-to-day use.
Leaks prior to the teaser campaign suggest that both the Phone (4a) and Phone (4a) Pro will rely on Snapdragon 7-series processors. This positions the devices squarely in the upper midrange segment, prioritizing balanced performance and efficiency rather than raw flagship power. If accurate, this would continue Nothing’s approach of focusing on usability and design differentiation rather than spec-sheet competition.
Battery information has also surfaced through regulatory filings. According to the EU Energy Label database, the Phone (4a) Pro is listed with a rated battery capacity of 5,080 mAh. In typical marketing terms, this would likely be presented as a 5,200 mAh to 5,250 mAh battery, representing a modest increase over the 5,000 mAh cell used in the previous generation. Charging speeds are reported to reach up to 50W, which remains competitive for the segment without pushing into extremes.
While Nothing has not yet outlined pricing or regional availability, the timing and scope of the teaser suggest that the Phone (4a) series is intended as an accessible update rather than a radical redesign. Incremental improvements in storage speed, battery capacity, and color variety point toward refinement rather than reinvention.
With the teaser campaign now underway, more concrete details are expected in the coming weeks. For Nothing, the challenge will be maintaining differentiation in a crowded midrange market while delivering enough meaningful upgrades to justify a generational refresh.
