Latest Nothing rumors paint a new picture when it comes to its mid-range Phone 4a series.The Phone 4a Pro could upgrade to a 6.8-inch 1.5K AMOLED 144Hz display, leaving the base model with a 6.7-inch 1.5K AMOLED display.The Phone 4a might also receive a triple camera array upgrade.Nothing teased that it plans to reveal its new mid-ranges on March 5.
Amidst the hype for Nothing’s next wave of mid-range phones, a massive leak from an overseas source alleges its most crucial specs.
The French publication Dealabs shared details about what consumers can expect from Nothing’s Phone 4a and 4a Pro later this year. The Phone 3a duo last year shared the same 6.7-inch AMOLED LTPS display; however, these rumors suggest Nothing is breaking that up a little. The Phone 4a Pro may receive an upgraded 6.8-inch 1.5K AMOLED 144Hz display. The rear panel could gain a display, as the publication alleges users could see the Glyph Matrix on the Phone 4a Pro.
The flagship Phone 3 had this, while the mid-range did not. It was a small circle in the top-right corner of its rear panel, primarily for utility purposes. Rumors did not state what this could look like for the Phone 4a Pro.

Elsewhere, rumors add that the Phone 4a Pro could feature a 50MP main lens, credited to Sony, with OIS (optical image stabilization) and “140x zoom.” The entry Phone 4a is allegedly sticking with a 6.7-inch 1.5K AMOLED display with up to 120Hz refresh rate. More importantly, the report claims that’s not what we should focus on, as the device could upgrade to a triple camera array.
A 50MP main lens could carry its photography potential, alongside a wide range of zooms from 0.6x to 70x. The device might also see a “Glyph Bar,” not a Glyph Matrix display.

Previous rumors haven’t touched on the series’ price, but that’s seemingly changing, as speculation foresees a price hike. The publication alleges that Phone 4a could jump by €50 (~58), and €90 (~$106) for the Phone 4a Pro. This could bring prices to ~€409 (~$482) and ~€499 (~$588), respectively. These prices are well above what consumers were treated to last year, but Nothing’s CEO Carl Pei said this might happen.
Either way, we’ve been cruising with scraps for leaks for a while now, as a recent report claimed the Phone 4a Pro could rock a 5,080mAh battery with the same 50W charging capabilities. Another rumor spotted the Phone 4a in a database listing with Qualcomm’s recent Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chip. There might also be 12GB of RAM (at the most), as well as 128GB and 256GB options.
Nothing has teased that the Phone 4a series is eyeing a March 5 launch.
Android Central’s Take
Nothing’s CEO Carl Pei said in a 2026 outlook video that the company was going to completely “overhaul” the Phone 4a series. If I’m going by these leaks, things are looking a little different, for sure. The display changes, for one, will need that personal touch to know for certain, but they sound nice on paper. Additionally, Pei teased camera upgrades, and I’ve now seen rumors about a triple array for the base model. That’s giving that entry model a bit of a “Pro” flair, which is always a good thing for people looking to not splurge on a higher-tiered mid-range model.
