Nothing ended 2025 with the Phone (3a) Lite, the final model in the Nothing Phone (3a) series. Today, in a new video, Nothing CEO Carl Pei has started teasing the Nothing Phone (4a), the company’s next phone that it plans to release in 2026.
In a new video, he said that the Nothing Phone (4a) series will take the experience closer to the flagships across the board from materials, design, screen, camera, performance, etc.
He added that the Nothing Phone (4a) series will use premium materials, feature bold new experimentation when it comes to colour, and have an overall look and feel that will be interesting.
Carl also confirmed that the Nothing Phone (3), which was released last year, will be the company’s flagship phone for 2026 as well, so the Nothing Phone (4) is expected only in 2027, a 2-year release cycle for the company when it comes to flagships.
He also talked about the increase in RAM price due to AI that drives the cost of the electronics, such as smartphones, laptops, and other products. Nothing will continue to differentiate their products with the design and user experience in 2026 instead of spec race.
The Nothing Phone (4a) is expected sometime in Q1 2026, and we should know more details in the coming weeks.
