Nothing shows us the Nothing Phone 4a ahead of time

“Hey, you know what would be cool,” a Nothing marketing person probably said at a recent meeting. “If we just posted a photo of our upcoming Nothing 4a online.”

“Great idea,” Nothing’s head of marketing probably answered. “That will give our fans something to chew on as they wait for the official reveal on March 5. And it totally won’t spoil the surprise.”

We have no proof that the conversation above actually happened, but we do imagine something of the sort did take place, as Nothing decided to post a photo of its upcoming Nothing 4a smartphone, scheduled for a March 5 launch, more than a week ahead of time. Here it is.

“Built different,” the company tweeted, without revealing any additional details.

The image shows the phone from the rear, displaying Nothing’s trademark industrial/semi-naked design. It also reveals a new type of Glyph Bar, next to the camera bump, with nine mini-LEDs, likely offering even more customization options.

On March 5, the company will likely reveal the rest of the phone, alongside a more powerful option, the Nothing Phone 4a Pro. Both phones will likely come with Snapdragon 7-series chips, while the Pro variant will probably pack a more powerful camera.
