Nothing has begun teasing the upcoming Phone 4a with its colour options as a standout feature.
A recent post on X showed coloured dots forming the ‘a’ logo in Nothing’s signature dot‑matrix style. The dots appeared in blue, yellow, pink, white, and black, strongly suggesting these will be the launch colours.
The ‘a’ series remains Nothing’s best‑selling line, so expanding its finishes makes sense. Offering multiple colours could broaden appeal, especially as the Phone 4a edges closer to the flagship experience.
Co‑founder Carl Pei has already confirmed plans to push the device toward higher‑end territory, while still keeping the ‘a’ line affordable compared to the main flagship.
Leaks suggest the Phone 4a will arrive in two versions, mirroring the Phone 3a. This means a standard model and a Pro variant, though Nothing has yet to confirm.
Internally, the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chipset is tipped to power the devices, offering improved performance over the previous generation. Cameras are expected to remain similar to the Phone 3a, keeping continuity for existing users while focusing upgrades elsewhere.
The codename for the Phone 4a carries the name “Bellsprout,” continuing Nothing’s tradition of Pokémon‑inspired names. Alongside the phone, another codename, “Hoppip,” points to a possible audio product. Reports suggest new budget-focused Headphone a could launch, though details remain unclear.
Nothing has also stressed that it won’t churn out flagships annually. This stance means the Phone 4 replacement will not arrive soon, leaving the Phone 4a as the next major release. The company’s recent teasers and activity suggest the announcement is close, with leaks pointing to a launch window in the coming weeks.
The colour tease indeed adds excitement. Nothing’s design language consistently leans toward bold, distinctive aesthetics. A multicoloured lineup would give buyers more choice and reinforce the brand’s playful identity.
Combined with performance upgrades and a Pro option, the Phone 4a could become one of the most appealing mid‑range releases of 2026.
