Smartphone Nothing Phone 4a 5G, 12GB 256GB, 6.78 AMOLED Display, 5.080mAh, White

Nothing Phone (4a) 5G

A mid-to-upper-range handset that blends solid efficiency, a recognisable aesthetic and sophisticated photographic capabilities. Its 6.78-inch flexible LTPS AMOLED screen offers 1.5K resolution (1,224 × 2,720 pixels). At 440 dpi, the display produces crisp, intricate visuals. The adaptive refresh rate ranging from 30 to 120 Hz varies the frequency in line with the on-screen content, reducing energy use while keeping motion fluid. Typical brightness reaches 800 nits, climbing to peaks of 4,500 nits with HDR material. Corning Gorilla Glass 7i provides protection, and the 480Hz touch sampling rate ensures a more precise response to touch.

Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chip and Nothing OS 4.1

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 4, built on a 4 nanometre process, powers the device. This chipset is tuned for Essential AI, a suite of on-device artificial intelligence features designed to keep user data private. Nothing OS 4.1, based on Android 16, comes preinstalled. The manufacturer promises 3 years of OS upgrades and 4 years of security updates.

Camera with 50 MPx periscopic telephoto lens

The camera arrangement stands out as one of the Nothing Phone (4a)'s key traits, offering a 50 MP periscopic telephoto lens with 3.5x optical zoom and optical stabilisation (OIS), an uncommon inclusion at this price point.

The camera setup comprises:

• Main sensor: 50 MP, f/1.88 with optical and electronic stabilisation (OIS + EIS).
• Telephoto: 50 MP, f/2.88 with 3.5x optical zoom and OIS
• Ultra wide-angle: 8 MP
• Front camera: 32 MP for selfies and video calls

5080 mAh battery and Glyph system

A 5080 mAh battery is built in, supporting 50W fast charging over cable. The rear houses the Glyph Interface, a hallmark Nothing feature. This setup employs 7 separate zones with 63 mini-LEDs, configurable to show notifications, timers or app-specific visual alerts. The body measures 8.55 mm in thickness and carries IP64 certification, providing dust and splash resistance.

Connectivity and extras

5G networks (SA/NSA) are supported, along with eSIM. Wireless options include Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.4 and NFC. An ultrasonic fingerprint reader beneath the screen handles biometric security. Stereo speakers are included to enrich the multimedia experience.
