Nothing today unveiled the Phone (4a) series comprising of two phones – Phone (4a) and Phone (4a) Pro.
Design
Phone (4a) Pro comes with a precision-crafted metal unibody design, flat refined surfaces, and a 7.95?mm slim profile—the slimmest Nothing phone ever. Its metal finish provides a premium tactile experience, enhanced cooling with a 5300?mm² VC system. It comes with IP65 dust and water resistance plus 25cm submersion protection for 20 minutes.
The signature transparent design integrates both the camera and the Glyph Matrix, seamlessly fusing with the metal unibody to create a smooth, gapless finish that elegantly refracts light.
Phone (4a)’s upper section of its transparent design highlights a central camera, red Recording Light, and the brand-new Glyph Bar, emphasising functionality, while the lower section reveals internal structures beneath transparent glass. Enhanced metal buttons, a reinforced camera bump, and a strengthened frame deliver greater durability, with IP64 protection and custom submersion support up to 25?cm for 20 minutes.
Camera
The Phone (4a) Pro features a Sony LYT700c large-size OIS main camera, for better low-light photography and faster autofocus, and a 50MP 3.5x OIS telephoto lens and offers up to 140x Ultra Zoom—the longest zoom ever on a Nothing phone. Alongside a versatile Sony ultra-wide and 32MP wide-angle selfie camera, it captures everything from sweeping landscapes and true-to-life portraits. Powered by TrueLens Engine 4, it supports Ultra XDR photos and 4K Ultra XDR video, applying HDR effects similar to Dolby Vision for lifelike colours, vivid highlights, and immersive detail.
The Nothing Phone (4a) is equipped with a 50MP 3.5x OIS telephoto lens, a 50MP OIS main sensor, a versatile Sony ultra-wide, and a 32MP wide-angle selfie camera. Powered by the flagship TrueLens Engine 4, Phone (4a) brings cutting-edge computational photography with AI, including Ultra XDR photos co-developed with Google, enhancing highlights and shadows for natural contrast, now also supported in motion photos and directly shareable on Instagram.
Glyph Interface
The Nothing Phone (4a) introduces a refined Glyph Bar with 63 mini-LEDs in 7 square light zones, each square precisely controlled for pure, uniform illumination up to 3500 nits, 40% brighter than the Glyph Interface on Phone (3a). The Glyph Bar can also double as a gentle fill light for photos or videos. Smarter notifications come to life with progress-based cues for calls, messages, charging, timers, and more. Custom light sequences for contacts and notifications, paired with Nothing’s signature sounds, turn essential alerts into expressive, playful patterns—all while reducing screen distractions.
The Phone (4a) Pro raises the bar with a flagship-grade Glyph Matrix composed of 137 mini-LEDs. While using fewer lights than before, it covers a 57% larger area and is 100% brighter at around 3000 nits, delivering sharper, more detailed notifications. Even without a dedicated Glyph Button, popular Glyph Toys (such as Battery, Timer, Digital Clock, Solar Path, and Glyph Mirror) are fully supported, including integration into the Glyph Matrix AOD experience. Customisation remains at the core, letting users assign personalised light patterns for calls, contacts, and notifications.
Nothing OS
These phones run on Nothing OS 4.1 based on Android 16, which delivers a cleaner, more intuitive interface with redesigned icons, a refreshed lock screen, and a deeper dark mode. Multitasking is easier with floating apps and resizable Quick Settings, while widgets are more flexible than ever. The AI Dashboard gives precise control over AI features, under-the-hood optimisations make the system smoother and faster, and camera and gallery apps are enhanced. Customisation now includes hiding apps and creating lightweight widgets via the Playground, helping you stay productive, creative, and in control every day. Nothing has promised 3 years of Android updates and 6 years of security patches.
Display
Phone (4a) Pro boasts a 6.83” AMOLED display, 1.5K resolution, 450 PPI, and a 144Hz refresh rate. The display also features the slimmest bezels ever on a Nothing phone, measuring just 1.85mm on all sides, creating a more immersive viewing experience. Peak brightness reaches 5000 nits (HDR). Gamers benefit from 2500Hz touch sampling for instant responsiveness, while 2160Hz PWM dimming ensures comfortable viewing in low-light conditions. Corning Gorilla Glass 7i protection guarantees durability.
The Nothing Phone (4a) features a 6.78″ AMOLED display with 1.5K resolution (1224 × 2720) and 440?PPI. With peak brightness of 4500 nits (HDR) and 1600 nits (HBM), content remains clear even under direct sunlight, while Ultra HDR photos and videos shine with brilliant highlights and deep AMOLED blacks. A 120?Hz adaptive refresh rate and 2500?Hz touch sampling ensure smooth interactions and instant responsiveness, while 2160?Hz PWM dimming reduces eye strain.
