By that logic, Phone (4a) will have the same battery capacity as well. And, notably, this is the \u201crated\u201d capacity, which for Phone (3a) <a href=\"https:\/\/eprel.ec.europa.eu\/screen\/product\/smartphonestablets20231669\/2263919\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">was 4,920 mAh<\/a>, implying that the Phone (4a) series will probably be somewhere in the 5,100-5,200 mAh ballpark.<\/p>\n<p>Nothing Phone (3a) Pro was also rated by the EU for a little over 43 hours of use, where Nothing Phone (4a) Pro jumps up to over 63 hours. Durability is also improved, including a jump to IP65 dust\/water resistance. <\/p>\n<p>\tAdvertisement &#8211; scroll for more content<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" height=\"1024\" width=\"512\" data-id=\"702811\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/nothing-phone-4a-pro-energy-label-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-702811\"  \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" height=\"1024\" width=\"512\" data-id=\"702812\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/nothing-phone-3a-pro-energy-label.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-702812\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>Nothing Phone (4a) Pro vs Nothing Phone (3a) Pro EU energy labels<\/p>\n<p>The energy label was <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ZionsAnvin\/status\/2016070447851569597\" rel=\"nofollow\">first spotted by a GizmoChina <\/a>writer, who also notes that Phone (4a) Pro passed through India\u2019s BIS certification this week.
