A Launch That Appears Imminent
The most telling sign that a launch for the Phone 4a is imminent would have to be its listing on the database at BIS with the model number A069. A listing on BIS certification usually means that it’s almost ready for entry into the Indian market. There have been reports from insiders within the industry that it will be launched sometime between January and March 2026. That would put it right on schedule with previous mid-range releases.
The device also made an appearance at some other international regulatory certifications, hinting that there may be various models being readied for various regions, including a ‘Pro’ variant.

Actual Pricing: A Noticeable Jump
Leaks relating to pricing indicate a serious increase compared with its predecessor. On global markets, the Nothing Phone 4a’s likely price would begin at around 475 USD with 12 GB and 256 GB, and it would cost about 540 USD for the Pro variant.
As for India, there are whispers about it possibly carrying a more competitive pricing structure, with rates set to be within ₹25,999-₹29,999 for the regular variant. Which would put the Phone 4a firmly within the upper mid-range market, competing against Samsung’s A series, Pixel’s a series, and mid-range smartphones from OnePlus.
It seems that there will be an increase in pricing, and it fits with Nothing’s strategy of getting their 4a lineup at least near-flagship standards.
Display and Design Enhancements
The display feature might just receive the biggest upgrade on the Nothing Phone 4a. According to leaks, it will feature a 6.8-inch screen with an OLED display and an impressive 120 Hz refresh rate, which will be significantly larger compared to its predecessors from the A-series lineup. It will be an FHD+ screen with a flat display and should focus on maintaining its sleek designs. It might also bring an upgrade to its Glyph UI enhancements.
Color options appear to be expanding as well. In addition to the classic black and white color options, there appear to be blue and pink color options, an indication that Nothing might be opening up its market appeal to younger smartphone enthusiasts.
Snapdragon 7-Series Power at Core
The core component at the heart of the Nothing Phone 4a rests on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 series chipset. However, there are discrepancies on the specific variant. Some sources recommend it will be an SD 7 Gen 3, while some sources recommend it will be an even more up-to-date 7 series chipset. Nevertheless, it presents it with an optimal position based on its strength, thermal, and battery life.
A 12GB RAM and 256GB storage configuration has been seen as common, but various SKUs will also be available based on geography.
Upgraded Cameras and Battery
Leaks have suggested that it will have a triple-camera setup with a 50MP main sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide, and a third 50MP or 64MP sensor. None of the cameras with an A-series lineage have offered good photo capabilities within their price range, and so far, it seems like a 4a will be no different.
The battery will allegedly have a capacity ranging from 5000 mAh to 5500 5500mAh with support for 60W fast charging. Paired with a mid-range chipset and some clever software optimization, it should make a big difference in battery life.

Software Solutions: Clean, Fast, and Future-Ready
The Nothing Phone 4a may come with the Android 16 operating system topped with Nothing OS 4.x. The next operating system update will likely bring more customization options, enhancements to Glyphs, and better stability.
Although it hasn’t been officially unveiled yet, based on its recent trickle-out frequency, it’s very likely that the Nothing Phone 4a will make a big entry in early 2026. Boasting a larger screen, better cameras, and an extremely efficient and fast Qualcomm platform, as well as an impressive revamped design, the Phone 4a may end up being one of 2026’s most desirable mid-range offerings. The lone question here is what Nothing will do with regard to pricing and regional lineup splits once it goes on sale.
