Nothing’s next mid-range phones are getting closer — and a fresh leak may have spilled almost everything ahead of schedule.

After Carl Pei teased the company's 'big plans' for the (4a) series, X leaker Gadgetsdata now fills in most of the blanks. The February 5 post was briefly deleted, but now it's available once again, giving Nothing fans a peek at what Nothing has prepared. Supposedly, the Phone (4a) and (4a) Pro will feature:

What will make you consider getting a Nothing Phone (4a)?

From this leak, we also understand both phones are likely to launch in March 2026, with a price hike on the horizon. This actually isn’t the first leak to point in that direction. Several days ago (Feb 3), leaker Yogesh Brar gave us an idea of what to expect in an X post, also pinpointing the launch date to March 5.

A higher price is practically set in stone

While sometimes leakers don't turn out to be correct in their price increase predictions, in this case, it's practically set in stone. Back in January, Carl Pei posted an article on X, explaining how substantially increased memory costs will result in more expensive smartphones in 2026.

In the interview posted on YouTube, the Nothing CEO once again discussed the "RAM situation," confirming the new Nothing phones will come at a higher price.

Is the Nothing Phone (4a) series an upgrade?

Given the almost certain price hike, some users may be wondering if the Nothing Phone (4a) series will be a meaningful upgrade. To answer this question, let's look at the Nothing Phone (3a) lineup's full specs:

If the Gadgetsdata's X leak is correct, we're not looking at a serious upgrade on all fronts. Aside from the new chip, faster storage, bigger battery, and slightly improved IP rating, both generations appear quite similar. That is, of course, if there are no major improvements on the camera front as well.

Will the Nothing Phone (4a) lineup be worth it?

In a world where most smartphones look nearly identical, Nothing is taking an entirely different approach. I, for one, am very curious about this rumored new design of the Nothing Phone (4a) — but will it be enough?

To me, it depends. Even if the specs aren't that much different than the Nothing Phone (3a), the upcoming series might still be worth it, especially if the price hike isn't more than $50.
