Nothing has been teasing its Phone (4a) series for a bit now. No launch date yet, but it’s looking like next month. Carl Pei has said the (4a) lineup will be a meaningful upgrade over the Phone (3a) generation, though he’s been light on specifics — which is pretty standard Nothing behaviour at this point.
A tipster has now filled in some of the blanks.
Both the Phone (4a) and the Phone (4a) Pro are apparently coming in two configurations: 8GB of RAM with 128GB storage, and 12GB with 256GB. Nothing has also confirmed UFS 3.1 storage for the series, which is a welcome jump — faster app installs, quicker file transfers, and generally snappier day-to-day performance. Whether that applies to both models or just the Pro isn’t clear yet.
Colours are looking fairly restrained. The regular (4a) is rumored to be available in Black and White. As previously mentioned, the Pro gets Black and Silver again. Nothing’s own teaser don’t suggest that many options, so either the leak is missing something or the firm was being very kooky with its colour grading in promotional imagery. Wouldn’t be the first time.
On the chipset front, both phones are rumoured to ship with Snapdragon 7-series silicon. The Pro is also pretty likely to fit a 5,080mAh battery in there, which is a good size — should comfortably make it through a day with not too much anxiety for most people.
More will leak out before launch. It always does with Nothing.
