First look at Nothing Phone 4a reveals transparent back and new Glyph Bar
Nothing posted a photo of the Phone 4a ahead of its planned March 5 reveal. The image shows the device’s back featuring a transparent design and a redesigned Glyph Bar. This light-based notification system uses individually controlled mini-LEDs for alerts such as missed calls. No official specifications have been confirmed by the company.
Industry rumors suggest the Phone 4a will incorporate a Snapdragon 7-series chip. Reports indicate the reveal may include a Pro model featuring a more powerful camera. The Nothing Phone 3a previously launched alongside a 3a Pro variant. Both the 3a and 3a Pro were described as “an easy recommendation” by critics. Nothing has not released a Phone 4 flagship model yet.
Built different.

The company typically releases a-series models before its flagship devices. The Nothing Phone 4 is expected to launch in early summer. The image displays the Glyph Bar positioned next to the camera bump. This hardware component was first teased by Nothing the previous week.
