Nothing Phone (4a) Series Launch Leaks: March 5 Date, Price Hike & Specs Explained

Nothingis once again in the news and this time it’s not about a flashy flagship. The buzz is around the Nothing Phone (4a)and Nothing Phone (4a) Pro, which are now tipped to launch very soon. If leaks are right, we are just weeks away from seeing Nothing’s next big mid-range bet.

And honestly? A lot is riding on this launch.

Nothing Phone (4a) Launch Timeline 

According to well-known tipster Yogesh Brar, the Nothing Phone (4a) series could launch globally on March 5, 2026. This lines up perfectly with Nothing’s past strategy, as the Phone (3a) series also debuted in early March last year.

Nothing has already confirmed one big thing, there will be no Nothing Phone (4a) flagship in 2026. Instead, the brand is putting full focus on the Nothing Phone (4a) lineup. That alone tells you how important thesephones are for the company.

If Nothing wants to stay relevant in the crowded mid-range market, this launch has to deliver.

Nothing Phone (4a) Expected Upgrades

Leaks suggest the Nothing Phone (4a) series will bring some meaningful changes, not just cosmetic updates.

Here’s what’s expected so far:

• UFS 3.1 storage (confirmed by Nothing), replacing older UFS 2.2
• Snapdragon 7-series chipset for both models
• Slight battery capacity bump
• Refreshed transparent design
• Higher prices than previous generation

The storage upgrade alone is a big deal. Faster app loading, smoother multitasking and better long-term performance are things users actually notice in daily use.

Nothing Phone (4a) Pro Specs Leaks 

The Nothing Phone (4a) Pro seems to be getting special attention. An EU database listing revealed the following interesting details:

• 5,080mAh battery with 50W fast charging
• IP65 rating, better than the IP64 on Phone (3a) Pro
• Battery rated for 1,400 charge cycles, which is solid for long-term users

Display and camera upgrades are also expected, though exact details are still under wraps. Carl Pei himself hinted at improvements in these areas, which makes the leaks more believable.

Nothing Phone (4a) Price Hike Feels Inevitable

Now let’s talk about the uncomfortable part, pricing.

The Nothing Phone (3a) launched at ₹24,999, while the 3a Pro was priced at ₹29,999. Leaks suggest the Nothing Phone (4a) could start around ₹32,000 and the 4a Pro may go up to ₹45,000.

Is it expensive? Yes.
Is it surprising? Not really.

Component costs are rising andNothing is clearly positioning the Nothing Phone (4a) series closer to a “near-flagship” experience. Still, at this price, competition from brands offering faster charging, bigger batteries and even IP69 ratings will be brutal.

Why Nothing Phone (4a) Series Matters a Lot

Without a flagship launch this year,Nothing is basically saying: judge us by the 4a series. That’s a bold move.

What Nothing does better than most brands is clean software, unique design and brand identity. If the Nothing Phone (4a) series nails performance, cameras and pricing balance, it can still stand out.

But if the price goes too high without clear value, fans won’t be forgiving.

Should You Wait for Nothing Phone (4a)?

If you’re planning to buy a mid-rangephone right now, my advice is simple, wait a few weeks. The Nothing Phone (4a) series is clearly around the corner and official details should drop soon.

Leaks aren’t confirmations, but all signs point in one direction: Nothing is about to make or break its mid-range future in March.

And honestly, that makes this launch worth watching.
