Nothing Phone 4a & 4a Pro
Nothing Phone 4a in all colours.
On March 5, Nothing unveiled its new line of mid-range phones for 2026, the Nothing Phone 4a and the Nothing Phone 4a Pro. The Nothing 4a had actually already been officially released before the March 5 event, which was a nice move from Nothing. Releasing the phone publicly ahead of the event helped it stand out at a time when other brands were launching devices as well.
The 4a Pro, however, stayed under wraps until the official presentation. When it was finally revealed, it definitely caught my attention. Honestly, I think this is one of the coolest Android phone designs I’ve seen in a while.
Along with the two phones, Nothing also introduced a more affordable pair of headphones called the Nothing Headphones (a). They come with a slightly simplified design compared to Nothing’s more premium model, plus some fresh colour options, while still keeping the transparent design language that has become a signature of the brand.

The Nothing 4a comes with a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. The phone keeps Nothing’s signature transparent design, along with the Glyph lighting system on the back. This time the Glyph lights have been repositioned slightly compared to previous models, and the new setup includes 63 mini LEDs.
The overall design is still fairly similar to the previous generation, but with a few tweaks here and there that make it feel more modern. Personally, I like the look of the 4a more than the previous model. It feels like a clear improvement while still keeping the transparent style that makes Nothing phones stand out.
On the camera side, the phone now features a triple-camera system built around a 50MP sensor, including a periscope telephoto lens that can reach up to 70x ultra zoom. Performance is handled by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 processor, paired with a 5,080mAh battery that supports 50W fast charging.
The Nothing 4a comes in White, Black, Blue, and Pink, and is priced at $349 USD and $649 AUD. You can pre-order now and it will be shipped from March 13th, or you can buy in-store from 17 March 2026.

The Nothing 4a Pro changes things up a bit with a completely new design compared to its predecessor. As I mentioned before, this might actually be my favourite design from Nothing so far. It just looks cool, unique, and a little futuristic.
This model comes with a slightly larger 6.83-inch AMOLED display with 1.5K resolution and a faster 144Hz refresh rate. According to Nothing, the screen can also reach a peak brightness of 5000 nits.
One of the biggest differences on the 4a Pro is the new Glyph Matrix. Instead of just LED strips, the phone now includes a small display on the back that can show notifications, animations, alerts, and other visual information.
The body is also different this time. The 4a Pro uses a full metal unibody design, with only the camera section and Glyph Matrix area keeping the transparent look.
For cameras, the 4a Pro includes a new Sony sensor with optical image stabilisation and a 50MP periscope telephoto lens capable of reaching up to 140x zoom.
The phone is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 processor, which brings improvements in performance, AI processing, and graphics compared to the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 used in the standard model.
The Nothing 4a Pro is available in Black, Silver, and Pink, and will retail for $499 USD and $949 AUD. You can pre-order now and it will be shipped from 27 March 2026.
Nothing Headphone (a) in all colours.
Nothing Headphones (a)
Alongside the phones, Nothing also introduced the more affordable Nothing Headphones (a). These headphones keep the same overall design language the company is known for, including elements of the transparent aesthetic, but with a simpler construction and slightly fewer design details compared to Nothing’s more premium headphones.
Despite being the more affordable option, they still come with a solid feature set. The Headphones (a) use custom-tuned dynamic drivers designed to deliver balanced sound with clear vocals, decent bass response, and good overall detail for everyday listening. They also support active noise cancellation (ANC), which helps reduce background noise when you’re commuting, travelling, or working in busy environments.
Battery life is expected to be one of the highlights here. Nothing says the headphones can deliver long listening sessions on a single charge, and they also support fast charging for quick top-ups when you’re in a hurry.
The Headphones (a) come in Yellow, White, Black, and Pink, giving them a bit more personality compared to the usual headphone colour options, and will retail for $199 USD and $329 AUD.
