features, price and technical sheet

Although they already gave a small preview at MWC 2026, it was not until today that Nothing has decided to announce its new batch of smartphones: the Nothing Phone (4a) and Phone (4a) Pro. They are two mid-range terminals that, preserving the design language of the brand that we already know, evolve in materials, colors and specifications to try to differentiate themselves in their price range.

The standard model can be reserved from today and its price starts at 349 euros, although it will not be launched until March 13. Reservations for the Pro model, meanwhile, will open on March 13 and the launch will occur at the end of the month, on March 27. The price will start at 479 euros. That said, and with the introductions already made, let’s get to know them a little better.

Data sheet of the Nothing Phone (4a) and Phone (4a) Pro

As familiar as it is different (and now in metal)

If Nothing has accustomed us to anything, it is making devices that have little or nothing to do with those we see in other brands, at least in terms of design. Their new terminals repeat the move seen in previous years, but it is clear that they are radically different from each other. In size, thickness and weight the difference is not that much, but in finishes they could not be more different.

He Nothing Phone (4a) It retains the transparent design and a top camera module, now more centered. The back is made of glass and, in the upper right area, the Glyph Bar. This light bar consists of 63 mini-LEDs spread over seven zones and serves as a progress indicator, fill light on the camera or notification alert. Of course, the SDK is open so that developers can do their thing and squeeze even more into their apps.

The Nothing Phone (4a) Pro is totally different. The company has opted for a daring metal unibody structure with flat surfaces and a thickness of 7.95 millimeters, making it the thinnest Nothing mobile to date. On the right side we have the Glyph Matrix, a system of 137 individually configurable mini-LEDs that reach a brightness of 3,000 nits. It has fewer LEDs than the Nothing Phone (3), which is still the company’s high-end, but it occupies a 57% larger area.

When it comes to screens, the only difference is the size. The one on the Nothing Phone (4a) Pro is somewhat larger, but in general terms they are almost identical. They share AMOLED LTPS technologythe density of pixels per inch, almost almost the resolution, the touch sampling rate… Now, the Phone (4a) Pro has a slightly higher peak brightness and the refresh rate is 144 Hz instead of 120 Hz.

A very similar engine

Both devices share chipset: the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 from Qualcomm. On paper, performance should be very similar on both. Now, there is a substantial difference and that is that the Nothing Phone (4a) mounts LPDDR4x RAM memorywhile his older brother rides LPDDR5x RAM memory. It is somewhat faster and, although on a day-to-day basis the difference should not be excessively noticeable, it should be appreciated in the long term.

The internal storage is the same: 128 or 256 GB with UFS 3.1 technology. It is not the fastest or the latest available on the market, but it is more than enough for a terminal in this price range and for everyday use.

As far as software is concerned, Android 16 with Nothing OS 4.1three-year warranty for major updates and six years for security patches. They also incorporate Nothing AI, the suite of artificial intelligence tools more focused on productivity than creativity. The big news, by the way, is support for the cloud, so now we can access what we save in Essential Space from any device.

Before talking about the camera, it is worth mentioning that the two devices share battery capacity (5,080 mAh and lithium-ion, not silicon-carbon) and 50W fast charging. The difference is in reverse wireless charging, which is only available in the Pro model. According to Nothing, its batteries promise to retain 90% of their capacity after 1,200 charge cycles.

Subtle differences in cameras

The cameras are similar in both models, but not exactly the same. Both share a 50-megapixel angle, an eight-megapixel wide angle and a 50-megapixel periscope with 3.5x optical zoom, but the Phone (4a) uses a Samsung GN9 in the wide-angle camera, while the Pro model opts for a Sony LYT-700C with, on paper, better autofocus.

Nothing has opted for a periscope with triple prism structureso you can have optical zoom in a smaller space. It is similar, to give us an idea, to what OPPO has done in some of its most recent high-end products. Although both terminals offer 3.5x optical magnification, the maximum digital zoom is 70x on the Phone (4a), while on the Pro it goes up to 140x.

The internal camera is the same on both devices, as well as the video capabilities. one of the greatest handicaps of the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 is that the video is limited to 4K at 30 FPS. If we want to record at 60 FPS we will have to reduce the resolution to FullHD.
