The company's been teasing the launch on social media, and now we’ve got a significant confirmation regarding the internal hardware.

Snapdragon 7s gen 4: the engine under the hood
Previous whispers suggested
the Nothing Phone (4a) family would rely on Snapdragon chipsets, and a leaked Geekbench listing fueled those rumors. The listing pointed towards both phones being equipped with the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chip. This mid-range powerhouse promises a significant performance boost compared to its predecessors, offering a smoother user experience for everyday tasks and even some light gaming. Let's see how Nothing optimizes this chip for their unique software experience!Launch date revealed: mark your calendars!
Adding to the anticipation, Carl Pei and the Nothing team officially announced the launch date for the Nothing Phone (4a) lineup. The announcement, again on X, featured a playful jab at Apple, showcasing a vandalized poster for Apple’s March event. This isn't the first time Nothing has playfully poked fun at competitors; remember their tongue-in-cheek Nothing Phone (2a) micro campaign targeting Apple's discontinuation of the iPhone Mini?
Expected hardware specs: what to expect
According to the latest leaks, the Nothing Phone (4a) is likely to boast a 6.78-inch AMOLED display, up to 12GB of RAM, and up to 256GB of storage. A robust 5,400mAh battery with 50W wired charging support should keep you powered throughout the day. Camera-wise, we're anticipating a triple rear camera setup featuring a 50MP main sensor, an 8MP ultrawide lens, and another 50MP telephoto unit with 3.5x optical zoom.
Pro model details: a step up
The Pro version is expected to elevate the experience with a slightly larger 6.83-inch OLED panel and a faster 144Hz refresh rate. It's also rumored to feature a more premium Sony sensor for the main camera, the signature Glyph Matrix interface, and a more premium aluminum body. However, all this enhanced hardware comes at a price, as we'll discuss shortly.
Pricing concerns: are they worth it?
Recent leaks from Dealabs, a French website, revealed potential pricing for the Nothing Phone (4a) family. The base model is expected to start at around €389 ($456 USD) in Germany and Spain, while the Pro configuration could reach a hefty €569 ($669 USD). These prices position the Nothing Phone (4a) series squarely against competitors like the Google Pixel 7a and Samsung's Galaxy A-series.
