Companies like Apple, Samsung, and Google release new flagship phones every year, but if you’re tired of the relentless upgrade cycle, you might want to keep an eye on Nothing.
The U.K.-based tech startup that’s made its name over the past few years with distinctive-looking, affordable Android phones allegedly has a new one coming out very soon. Leaker Yogesh Brar (via Android Authority) posted on X that the Nothing Phone 4a and 4a Pro models will launch on March 5. The same post indicated that the phones will have upgraded storage, a slight jump in battery capacity, new Snapdragon chips, and a higher price from the Phone 3a, which starts at $379.

The name “Phone 4a” would sort of imply that this is a mid-range take on the Phone 4. The only problem with that assumption is that there isn’t a Nothing Phone 4. Company CEO Carl Pei recently confirmed the firm is taking a year off of doing a major flagship release, so it seems like the more budget-friendly Phone 4a models are all we’re getting in 2026.
In other words, if the annual race to the top from the other companies is exhausting to you and you need a new Android handset, maybe the Nothing Phone 4a is worth a look.
