However, the company jumped the gun a bit and just posted an <a data-i13n=\"cpos:1;pos:1\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/nothing\/status\/2025857432602153377\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:actual photo of the hardware;cpos:1;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;actual photo of the hardware&quot;,&quot;yLinkPosition&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;yPosition&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yHasCommerce&quot;:false}\">actual photo of the hardware<\/a>. It looks pretty nifty, even if we don&#8217;t have any real-deal specs just yet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">The image shows the handset from behind, displaying the company&#8217;s trademark transparent design. The picture also features the redesigned Glyph Bar, <a data-i13n=\"cpos:2;pos:1\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/nothing\/status\/2024853756588732689\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:which was first teased last week;cpos:2;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;which was first teased last week&quot;,&quot;yLinkPosition&quot;:&quot;2&quot;,&quot;yPosition&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yHasCommerce&quot;:false}\">which was first teased last week<\/a>. This is a light-based notification system that features individually controlled mini-LEDs that light up in various ways to notify the user of missed calls and stuff like that. You can spot it next to the camera bump.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">That&#8217;s about all we know right now, though there are plenty of industry rumors. It&#8217;s been reported that the Nothing Phone 4a will feature a <a data-i13n=\"cpos:3;pos:1\" href=\"https:\/\/mashable.com\/article\/nothing-4a-teaser\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Snapdragon 7-series chip;cpos:3;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Snapdragon 7-series chip&quot;,&quot;yLinkPosition&quot;:&quot;3&quot;,&quot;yPosition&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yHasCommerce&quot;:false}\">Snapdragon 7-series chip<\/a> and that the reveal will be accompanied by a Pro model with a more powerful camera. The Nothing Phone 3a was also launched alongside the 3a Pro.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">We loved the 3a and 3a Pro, <a data-i13n=\"cpos:4;pos:1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/mobile\/smartphones\/nothing-phone-3a-and-3a-pro-review-rising-above-the-boring-competition-120014496.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:calling both;cpos:4;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;calling both&quot;,&quot;yLinkPosition&quot;:&quot;4&quot;,&quot;yPosition&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yHasCommerce&quot;:false}\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">calling both<\/a> &#8220;an easy recommendation.&#8221; Let&#8217;s hope this carries through for the 4a. Also, you didn&#8217;t miss a release of the actual Nothing Phone 4. The company likes to release the a-series handsets before the flagship. Past as prologue, we&#8217;ll likely see that one in early summer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nothing has been slow-dripping news about the upcoming Phone 4a for a few days now, with a promise&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":486453,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[165,74,223634],"class_list":{"0":"post-486452","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mobile","8":"tag-mobile","9":"tag-technology","10":"tag-upcoming-phone"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/486452","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=486452"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/486452\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/486453"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=486452"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=486452"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=486452"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
