Smartphone Nothing Phone 4a 5G, 8GB 128GB, 6.78 AMOLED Display, 5.080mAh, Black

Nothing Phone (4a) 5G

A mid-to-upper-range handset that blends solid everyday performance with a recognisable look and a capable camera setup. Its 6.78-inch flexible LTPS AMOLED screen offers 1.5K resolution (1,224 × 2,720 pixels), and at 440 dpi it produces crisp, finely detailed visuals. The adaptive refresh rate shifts between 30 and 120 Hz depending on what is on screen, cutting power use while keeping motion smooth. Typical brightness reaches 800 nits, rising to 4,500 nits at peak for HDR material. Corning Gorilla Glass 7i provides protection, and a 480Hz touch sampling rate improves responsiveness to taps and swipes.

Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chip and Nothing OS 4.1

At its core sits the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 4, built on a 4 nanometre process. The platform is tuned for Essential AI, a collection of on-device artificial intelligence tools designed to keep user data private. Nothing OS 4.1, based on Android 16, comes preinstalled. Buyers get 3 years of OS upgrades plus 4 years of security patches.

Camera with 50 MPx periscopic telephoto

Photography is a standout aspect of the Nothing Phone (4a), thanks to a 50 MP periscopic telephoto offering 3.5x optical zoom and optical stabilisation (OIS) — an uncommon addition 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

5,080 mAh battery and Glyph system

A built-in 5,080 mAh battery supports 50W wired fast charging. On the rear, the Glyph Interface — a hallmark of Nothing devices — uses 7 independent 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 for dust and splash resistance.

Connectivity and other features

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 display handles biometric security. Stereo speakers round out the multimedia experience.
