Qualcomm Power Confirmed for the Phone (4a) Lineup
According to the latest leak, the Nothing Phone (4a) series will stay true to its roots by continuing its partnership with Qualcomm. The source indicates both models will be powered by chips from the “Snapdragon 7(s) series.” While this leaves some room for interpretation, it points squarely at the upper mid-tier of Qualcomm's portfolio.
The most likely candidates are the newer Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 or Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 processors. However, we can't discount the possibility of the more powerful Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 or the established Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 making an appearance. Any of these would represent a significant step up from the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 used in the current Phone (3a) models, promising better performance and efficiency.
For those who want to dive into the source of these leaks, you can find the initial reveal on Telegram here. The details have since been picked up by major publications like GSM Arena, which offers a comprehensive breakdown of the leak.
Pricing, Configurations, and a Pop of Color
In a shift from multiple variants, the leak suggests both the Nothing Phone (4a) and (4a) Pro will launch in a single, well-specced configuration: 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. The estimated price points are said to be roughly $475 for the Phone (4a) and $540 for the Phone (4a) Pro. The Pro model is also tipped to retain eSIM support, a feature appreciated by frequent travelers.
The most visually exciting news might be the new color palette. The phones are expected to launch in Blue, White, and Black, but are also rumored to debut a brand new Pink option. It's unclear if this vibrant hue will be available across both models or reserved for a specific version.

Meet the Nothing Headphone (a): A Plastic, Pocket-Friendly Alternative
Alongside the phones, Nothing seems to be expanding its audio range with a more accessible model. The leak mentions a Nothing Headphone (a), described essentially as a plastic-bodied version of the existing Headphone (1).
This material change, along with potential other compromises, aims to position it at a lower price point than its $299 (launch) / $239 (current) sibling. The Headphone (a) is expected to come in four youthful colors: Black, Pink, Yellow, and White, making it a style-conscious and likely more affordable entry into Nothing's audio ecosystem.

A Note of Caution
As with all unconfirmed leaks, it's essential to treat this information with healthy skepticism. Specifications, prices, and color options are all subject to change until Carl Pei and Nothing make an official announcement. However, this leak paints a coherent picture of Nothing's strategy: refining a successful phone formula while using material choices to make its distinctive design language more accessible.
If true, the Nothing Phone (4a) series and the Headphone (a) could strike a perfect balance between performance, unique design, and value, keeping the pressure on the competitive mid-range market. We'll be keeping a close eye on official channels for confirmation in the coming months.
