Nothing's fashion-forward reveal adds Phone (4a) Pro to burgeoning line-up

Far from calling it quits for 2026 – despite confirming there'll be no new flagship Nothing Phone this year – Nothing has revealed its latest take on its best budget phone: the Phone (4a) Pro.

At a live-streamed event, which took place at Central Saint Martins – a world-famous College of Art and Fashion, in London's Kings Cross – the brand was doubling down on its fashion-forward approach as a point of difference.

With the Phone (4a) already revealed in a variety of colours – the pink and blue variants shown off at Mobile World Congress 2026, just days before – it's now confirmed that the (4a) Pro will also be available in the pink finish.

A key part of the Pro's design is the Glyph Matrix, visible to the top right corner when facing the rear panel, which is a major feature of the flagship Nothing Phone 3.

While the (4a) Pro's version uses fewer lights than the flagship's version, it's more than 50% larger and is 100% brighter this time around.

Clearly the Phone (4a) Pro closes the gap between the brand's flagship offering and its more affordable handset. This event also revealed the Headphone (a), a lower-spec revision of the original Headphone (1) – at half the price.

A major area of the Pro handset is also its enhanced cameras offering. There's a periscope camera on board, at 3.5x zoom, providing the most zoom you'll get from a Nothing handset. Digital zoom goes up to a supposed 140x, if you really want to push it.

Other specs include an impressive 5400mAh battery, Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 4s processor, with 8GB RAM minimum, and a new tougher aluminium frame as part of the design.

The Nothing Phone (4a) Pro will go on sale 27 March, with pre-orders to open on 13 March. It will be available in Pink, Silver or Black variants, with pricing starting from £499 / $599 / €479.
