The Nothing Phone (4a) could be the bargain phone of 2026 – if leaked prices and specs are anything to go by.
Quick Summary
The prices and specs of the Nothing Phone (4a) and the Phone (4a) Pro have been leaked, revealing that both phones will cost more than their predecessors.
However, the data suggests that Phone (4a) will continue to be good value for money.
The Nothing Phone (4a) and Phone (4a) Pro are expected to be launched on March 5 and the prices of these new devices have been leaked for the first time. But although they are expected to increase compared to the Phone (3a) and (3a) Pro, this could still be the flagship phone of the year.
The Nothing Phone (4a) is said to cost €349 for the 128GB version in Germany, compared to €329 for the phone (3a), so it’s a bit of a bump in cost. The Nothing Phone (4a) Pro is said to be €479 for the 128GB version in Germany. Details from Dealabs.
Converting that directly to the UK price would be £305 and £417 respectively. However, if we look at the prices of previous phones in Germany and the UK, we’ll probably be looking at £349 and £479 – fingers crossed, the prices will work in favor of the Brits.
Along with the price of these new devices, we also have a list of features. The phone (4a) is expected to have a triple camera with a 50-megapixel main sensor, ultrawide and 3.5x optical zoom that provides 70x digital.
This is combined with a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with 120Hz, and 50W charging for the battery. It is expected to be powered by Snapdragon 7s Gen 4.
There is also no confirmation that it will have a pink color, while it goes deep into the design process, which was shared via a YouTube video (below).

The Nothing Phone (4a) Pro has a large 6.83-inch display with a refresh rate of 144Hz, a 50-megapixel main camera with a Sony sensor, an ultrawide camera and a 140x digital zoom. The frame is said to be an aluminum unibody, while it has a Glyph Matrix rather than a Glyph Bar.
In this sense, the Phone (4a) Pro is close to the Nothing Phone 3 and offers a step up from the Nothing Phone (3a) Pro.
Both will use Nothing OS, which customizes Android and brings many exciting features, while showing a consistent and thoughtful design throughout the UI. Unlike its competitors, it is not expected to have a lot of pre-installed apps, less duplication and so on.
Given that both phones have a unique design and both offer a telephoto lens, the Nothing Phone (4a) would be the one to pick, as based on these prices, the Phone (4a) Pro is a bump. That’s perhaps not fully justified by the additions it makes to the cheap phone experience.
While we’re talking about cheap phones, this is the kind of hardware we’ve seen in devices like Redmi Note 15+ Pro and Poco M8 Pro this year: both of those phones are cheaper than Nothing (based on this leak), but without a doubt, the software experience holds it back with all the bloat that comes with it.
