Nothing Sets March 5 Launch for Phone (4a) Series in London

The London startup is shifting its 2026 smartphone focus to the mid-range 4a series instead of a new flagship.

Overview

  • The launch, titled “Built Different,” will be hosted at Central Saint Martins in London on March 5 at 10:30 a.m. GMT and livestreamed on nothing.tech.
  • Company leaders have confirmed two models — Phone (4a) and Phone (4a) Pro — and said there will be no Phone 4 this year as the firm aims to “level up” its best‑selling line with new materials, design and color experimentation.
  • Multiple reports point to Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 in the base model, a higher‑end chip in the Pro, UFS 3.1 storage, larger batteries, IP65 rating, and upgraded cameras; one leak details a 5,400mAh battery, 50W charging, and a 50MP main + 8MP ultrawide + 50MP 3.5x telephoto setup on the 4a.
  • Pricing leaks suggest a step up versus last year, with the 4a listed between €389 and €409 and the Pro between €479 and €569 in Europe, and reported retail dates of March 12 for the 4a and March 26 for the Pro, including India sales via Flipkart.
  • Nothing has teased bolder colorways and leaned into cheeky marketing a day after Apple’s March 4 event, and some reports also anticipate a lower‑cost Nothing Headphone (a) debut at the showcase.
