Nothing is gearing up for the next generation of its mid-range smartphone lineup. Following the launch of the Phone (3a) and Phone (3a) Pro earlier this year in March, the company appears to be preparing their successors — starting with the Nothing Phone (4a) Pro.
A new device from Nothing, carrying the model number A069P, has surfaced in the IMEI database, strongly suggesting that it is the upcoming Phone (4a) Pro.
This model number aligns with the company’s existing naming pattern, where the Phone (3a) was labeled A059 and the Phone (3a) Pro carried the model A059P. The jump to A069P makes it highly likely that the new device is indeed part of the next-generation “4a” series.
Mid-Range Lineup to Continue
While no further specifications or design details are currently available, the IMEI listing itself is an important development.
These types of listings typically appear months before an official launch, indicating that the Nothing Phone (4a) Pro might not debut until early next year. However, its appearance confirms that Nothing remains committed to the mid-range smartphone market, even after the release of its premium Nothing Phone (3) this summer.
The company’s previous mid-range models, the Phone (3a) and Phone (3a) Pro, offered strong performance and competitive pricing. The Phone (3a) started at $385 for the 128GB + 8GB RAM variant, while the 256GB + 12GB RAM model was priced at around $359. Meanwhile, the Phone (3a) Pro offered 256GB + 12GB RAM at approximately €395, giving consumers flagship-like features at a more accessible price point.
What to Expect
If Nothing continues this strategy, the Phone (4a) Pro could feature improved performance, enhanced camera capabilities, and refined software — all while staying budget-friendly.
While fans will need to wait for official announcements, the IMEI listing is a clear sign that Nothing’s next mid-range smartphone is on the way, continuing the brand’s mission to deliver stylish, feature-rich devices at an affordable price.
