London-based consumer tech unicorn a major leap forward for its smartphone lineup. The new Phone (4a) Series redefines the mid-range segment, blending refined premium design, bold colour options, flagship-grade cameras with an advanced telephoto lens, and powerful Snapdragon performance. Built on the latest Nothing OS, it reflects the technical warmth of Nothing’s hardware design while delivering a fast, fluid, and highly personal user experience.
Combining refined transparent design with stronger materials, enhanced durability, and a wider palette of expressive colours, the Phone (4a) Pro delivers the best camera experience in its class, powered by a flagship-inspired chipset. With Nothing OS 4.1, users gain smarter AI tools and deeper personalisation, making everyday tasks simpler and more creative. Designed to be as expressive as they are capable, the Phone (4a) and Phone (4a) Pro help users capture, connect, and stay inspired.
A Standout Design
The Phone (4a) Series evolves Nothing’s signature design, fusing human warmth with elite engineering.
Phone (4a) Pro sets a new design benchmark 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, and remarkable strength 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. Silver and black honour the series’ legacy, while a metallic pink offers a warm, fashion-forward expression of the brand’s design philosophy.
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. Colour options reach new heights: transparent blue and a soft pink introduce warmth, subtlety, and individuality without compromising sophistication.
Masterful Photography
The Phone (4a) Pro takes photography to new heights. Featuring a Sony LYT700c large-size OIS main camera, for better low-light photography and faster autofocus, and a 50MP 3.5x OIS telephoto lens, it offers up to 140x Ultra Zoom—the longest zoom ever on a Nothing phone and an industry-leading capability in its class.
Alongside a versatile Sony ultra-wide and 32MP wide-angle selfie camera, it captures everything from sweeping landscapes and true-to-life portraits to distant stages and crowded exhibitions with unmatched clarity. 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) delivers a best-in-class camera system, featuring a 50MP 3.5x OIS telephoto lens, a 50MP OIS main sensor, a versatile Sony ultra-wide, and a 32MP wide-angle selfie camera. Capture every detail from 0.6x to 70x Ultra Zoom, from expansive landscapes to true-to-life portraits. 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.
A fully reimagined camera experience includes expert-designed presets, finely adjustable professional settings, AI Eraser to remove unwanted objects, and seven new Nothing watermarks for creative expression.
The Evolution of the Glyph Interface
The Nothing Glyph Interface is more than just lights; it’s a functional and playful visual language that is designed to reduce distraction and avoid you having to turn your phone over:
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). Leveraging three patented technologies, including dual-colour injection-moulded lampshades, the design ensures zero light leakage, no yellow edges, and smooth diffusion, keeping notifications clear even in bright sunlight.
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. The upgraded Glyph Matrix reduces on-screen distractions, keeps attention where it matters, and turns notifications into functional or playful light patterns, ensuring nothing important is missed.
