Nothing-phone (4a) & (4a) pro: leaked specs vor der veröffentlichung
Leaked specs of nothing's upcoming phone (4a) series
Carl Pei's Nothing has been making waves in the tech world with its unique approach to smartphones. The company is gearing up to launch its next mid-range series, the Nothing Phone (4a) and (4a) Pro, and a fresh leak may have revealed many of the details ahead of schedule.
A short video of Carl Pei's interview surfaced, giving fans a glimpse into what to expect from the new devices. According to the leak, the Phone (4a) and (4a) Pro will feature:
- Flat OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate
- Battery with a capacity of around 5,100-5,200mAh for the Pro model, 50W charging support, and IP65 rating
- Storage with UFS 3.1 technology
- Camera setup similar to the Nothing Phone (3a) series
Launch date and price hike confirmed
Both phones are likely to launch in March 2026, with a price increase on the horizon. This aligns with previous leaks, including one from Yogesh Brar, which pointed to a global release by early March, with a tentative date of March 5th.
Carl Pei has confirmed that the increased cost is due to substantially higher memory prices, making the new devices more expensive than their predecessors.
Will the nothing phone (4a) be worth the upgrade?
Given the almost certain price hike, some users may be wondering if the Nothing Phone (4a) series will be a meaningful upgrade. To answer this question, let's compare the specs of the Nothing Phone (3a) and (3a) Pro:
| Spec | Nothing Phone (3a) | Nothing Phone (3a) Pro |
|---|---|---|
| Display | 6.8-inch OLED, 120Hz | 6.8-inch OLED, 120Hz |
| Hardware | Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 | Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 |
| Memory | 8GB/128GB or 12GB/256GB | 12GB/256GB |
| OS | Android 15 | Android 15 |
| Battery | 5,000mAh | 5,000mAh |
| Charge Speed | 50W Wired | 50W Wired |
| Camera | 50 MP (OIS, PDAF) + 8 MP (Ultra-wide) + 50 MP (Telephoto) | 50 MP (OIS, PDAF) + 8 MP (Ultra-wide) + 50 MP (Telephoto) |
Aside from the new chip, faster storage, bigger battery, and slightly improved IP rating, both generations appear quite similar. That is, of course, if there are no major improvements on the camera front as well.
In a world where most smartphones look nearly identical, Nothing is taking an entirely different approach. If the rumored new design of the Nothing Phone (4a) is as striking as promised, it could still be worth the upgrade, even if the specs aren't dramatically different from the previous generation.
