Meanwhile, speculated prices are $475 for the Nothing Phone 4a and $540 for the Nothing Phone 4a Pro. The Nothing Phone 4a series won\u2019t directly compete with the iPhone 17e as they target different audiences, even in markets like India, but that hasn\u2019t stopped the company from jumping on the iPhone hype bandwagon.<\/p>\n<p>Leaker Yogesh Brar recently shared on <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/heyitsyogesh\/status\/2022610905377435714\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">X<\/a> that the Phone 4a series could get an updated camera setup and a new glyph implementation. However, he also recommends that Nothing Phone 3a series users don\u2019t need to upgrade to the Phone 4a series.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_Gh\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"Yogesh Brar on Nothing Phone 4a and Phone 4a Pro\"  alt=\"Yogesh Brar on Nothing Phone 4a and Phone 4a Pro\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Yogesh-Brar-on-Nothing-Phone-4a-and-Phone-4a-Pro.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Previous leaks suggested that the Nothing Phone 4a series is expected to feature Snapdragon 7s SoCs, up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, and a modest battery bump. The Phone 4a Pro is also expected to bump up to an IP65 rating and potentially get eSIM support. We\u2019ll have to wait for the company to either confirm these specs before the launch, or wait for the launch event.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
