Product description

Product code: 51970417

Nothing Phone (4a) blends the best of both the (3a) and (3a) Pro cameras - upgrading the overall photography experience - while elevating Nothing’s signature design with refined details, premium materials, and, for the first time, pushing the boundaries of colour experimentation. Powered by Nothing OS, with performance enhanced across the board and personalised AI tools, it delivers versatile, high-performance experiences for everything you do.

True-to-life details
Phone (4a) is powered by TrueLens Engine 4, advanced multi-frame RAW processing and 12-layer AI segmentation for Ultra XDR photos, Motion Photos, portraits and lifelike details.

Ultra-sharp 1.5K resolution
1.5K high-resolution flexible AMOLED display with 13.6% more pixels* makes text, photos, and videos exceptionally crisp. (*compared to Phone (3a) Pro).

More power
Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 features an 8-core CPU and enhanced graphics, paired with the Qualcomm AI Engine and faster UFS 3.1 to make multitasking, AI workloads, and gaming effortless.

The Glyph Bar
Put your screen down and reduce distractions. Understand what’s happening on your smartphone at a glance through the Glyph Bar with light patterns and sounds.

Life runs easier on Nothing OS
A calmer, personalised and intentional experience with smart tools to keep you focused. Built on Android 16 with 3 years of OS updates and 6 years of security updates.

5G capability
The Nothing Phone’s future-proofed 5G modem will enable you to still use 4G, however depending on your network provider, you'll experience incredible speeds and better quality streaming video, along with more reliable network connections when you're in crowded places - especially during peak times.


What is SIM free?
You'll receive an unlocked device, so there’s no requirement to commit to any network, leaving you free to decide which SIM card/network to use. This gives you the opportunity to find the most suitable plan, whether that’s contract or pay-as-you-go, throughout the lifetime of the phone.

Top tip: as this mobile phone is supplied SIM-free and unlocked, you have access to SIM-only deals – these usually offer far better value for money – especially for all-important data plans.

You also have the option to add a foreign SIM card, so you can use this device overseas for less as well.

Additional information: manufacturers often update their Operating System (OS) software over the course of a device’s lifespan – this means that your product might ship with a more advanced OS than specified.
