Nothing launched the Nothing Phone (3a) series back in March this year, and rumours have already started surfacing about its successor. According to a lead from tipster Yogesh Brar, Nothing is now preparing to launch the Nothing Phone (4a) series.
He claims that two model numbers, “A069” (Phone (4a)) and “A069P” (Phone (4a) Pro), are associated with the upcoming Phone (4a) series. Looking at the naming pattern, the Phone (3a) series followed a similar convention — the standard Phone (3a) carried the model number “A059”, while the Pro variant was listed as “A059P”, where P stands for Pro.
Adding to this, he further mentions that the Phone (4a) series will launch in Q1 2026, which could likely be March 2026, since the Phone (3a) series was also launched in March. However, this remains speculation, and as always, leaks should be taken with a pinch of salt.

It will be interesting to see what Nothing chooses as the chipset for the Phone (4a) series, since the Phone (2a) series used a MediaTek Dimensity chipset, while the Phone (3a) series shifted to a Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset.
Other than this, the tipster didn’t reveal any specifications we can expect from the Phone (4a) series. That said, since Nothing has already released the Nothing OS 4.0 Open Beta based on Android 16, it’s reasonable to expect that the Phone (4a) series may debut with Android 16 running Nothing OS 4.0 on top.
