A new report suggests that Nothing is already in the works for the sequel to its bestselling mid-range smartphone, the Nothing Phone (3a) Pro. A device believed to be the Nothing Phone (4a) Pro has appeared in an IMEI database listing, a key step in the regulatory process that precedes a public launch. This sighting, with the model number ‘A069P’, provides the first concrete evidence of the phone’s existence and points toward a likely early 2026 release.
The model number “A069P” aligns with Nothing’s previous naming conventions. The Nothing Phone (3a) Pro carried the model number ‘A059P’, making it highly probable that the new listing corresponds to its successor. While the database entry does not include any specs info, it does confirm again that Nothing continues to commit to its mid-range “A-series” line, which has performed in key markets.
Following the success of the Nothing Phone (3a) series, which was praised for its distinctive design, camera capabilities, and clean software experience, expectations are high for the new model.
Given the typical timeline between an IMEI database listing and an official announcement, the Nothing Phone (4a) Pro is speculated to launch sometime in the first quarter of 2026, possibly in March, following the same pattern as its predecessors. Pricing is expected to remain competitive, targeting the mid-range segment where Nothing has carved out a loyal following.
