It appears the London-based brand, Nothing, may already be working on its next set of midrange smartphones. Fresh evidence suggests that the arrival of the Nothing Phone 4a lineup is probably closer. Here’s all we know about it so far.
Nothing Phone 4a Pro Spotted on IMEI
According to an exclusive report by Smartprix, a Nothing device carrying the model number A069P has appeared on the IMEI database.

For context, the Nothing Phone 3a Pro was listed under model number A059P, strongly suggesting that this new listing could belong to the Nothing Phone 4a Pro. While this leak doesn’t confirm the identity of the device, it gives the first hint of the company’s upcoming midrange series.
Smartprix further predicts that the standard Nothing Phone 4a could carry the model number A069, keeping in line with the naming pattern. If Nothing sticks to its release cycle, both the 4a and 4a Pro may launch sometime in the first quarter of 2026.
Nothing Phone 4a Lineup – What to Expect?
At present, there are no details on the hardware specifications of the Phone 4a Pro. However, if Nothing continues its previous strategy, the Pro version is likely to feature camera enhancements and premium materials. We can expect something similar to how the Phone 3a Pro stood out with better optics and an upgraded build compared to the regular 3a.
Looking back at the Nothing Phone 3a series gives an idea of what to expect. The Nothing Phone 3a came with the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 processor, a 6.77-inch 120Hz AMOLED display, a 50 MP main + 50 MP 2× telephoto camera setup, a 5000 mAh battery with 50W charging, and Nothing’s signature Glyph Interface. Meanwhile, the Phone 3a Pro targeted photography enthusiasts with a 50 MP Periscope Telephoto lens (3× optical zoom), a 50 MP front camera, and eSIM support.
One key issue with the 3a series was its availability in the US, where it was sold under a “Beta Program.” This program offered limited warranty, returns, and support, which turned away many potential buyers. By contrast, the Nothing Phone 3 and Nothing Phone 2 were sold through standard channels with full support.
Consumers in the US will be hoping Nothing changes its approach for the Nothing Phone 4a and 4a Pro, making them more widely available with regular sales and warranty coverage. If Nothing repeats its launch timeline, we can expect the midrange duo to debut around March 2026.
