Nothing is gearing up to launch the Phone 4a series soon. The London-based phonemaker has been teasing the Phone 4a and Phone 4a Pro for the past few days. Now, the company has finally given us a glimpse of the new “Glyph Bar,” that makes its debut with the upcoming devices.
The London-based phonemaker shared a thread of X. The thread consists of a video that showcases a machine making the new Glyph Bar. According to Nothing, the new interface comprises nine mini-LEDs that can be individually customised. The caption read, “nine individually controllable mini-LEDs, 40 per cent brighter than previous (a) series.”
What is the Nothing Glyph bar?
From the video, we can spot rectangular mini-LED units lined-up together to comprise one unit. Though the teaser only shows seven LED units instead of nine as stated by Nothing.
One of the LED units is red in colour, while the rest are white. It is unclear if this will be the case when the Phone 4a series launches, or if all units will be customisable for colour too.
The Glyph Bar replaces the Glyph lights found in the Nothing Phone 3a series, and the Glyph Matrix that debuted in the Nothing Phone 3.
Nothing Phone 4a series, here is what we know
According to teasers, the Nothing Phone 4a series may come in new colours, including blue and pink. In a separate video, the company teased a blue device with a new design that retains the transparent Nothing design theme.
Previously, Nothing CEO Carl Pei had stated that the Phone 4a series will deliver a “flagship-level” experience, as the company skips Phone 4 launch for 2026.
Apart from new colours and Glyph bar, the Nothing Phone 4a series will use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon chipsets. As per leaker Debayan Roy, the Phone 4a could use the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4, while the Phone 4a Pro may come with the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4.
Both phones are expected to get 6.7-inch 1.5K AMOLED panels. However, the Phone 4a Pro may come with a 144Hz refresh rate, while the Phone 4a may stick to 120Hz. The Phone 4a series will continue to have triple camera setups. The Phone 4a Pro could get an upgraded 50-megapixel 3.5x periscope telephoto sensor.
The Phone 4a and 4a Pro could also get IP65 rating for dust and splash resistance.
Nothing Phone 4a series launch and expected price
Nothing will launch the Phone 4a series on March 5, 2026 in London at 10:30 am GMT (4 pm IST).
