Nothing Phone (4a) Pro Launched in India Starting at Rs. 39,999
Nothing has officially launched the Nothing Phone (4a) Pro in India. It is the company’s latest smartphone and the successor to last year’s Phone (3a) Pro. The new model brings upgrades in display, performance, cameras and design.
Display, Performance and Software
The Nothing Phone (4a) Pro features 6.83-inch 1.5K AMOLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate and up to 5000 nits peak brightness. The phone is powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 processor with up to 12GB LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 3.1 storage.
Nothing says the phone includes a large 5,300 mm² vapour chamber cooling system for better performance. It supports BGMI at 120Hz and PUBG at 90Hz.
The phone runs Android 16 with Nothing OS 4.1. The company promises 3 Android updates and 6 years of security updates. It also keeps the Essential Key and supports Essential Space features.
Glyph Matrix
Unlike the Phone (4a), the Pro model comes with the Glyph Matrix, first seen on the Phone (3). It includes 137 mini-LEDs, covers a larger area and is up to 100% brighter (around 3000 nits). According to Nothing, it offers sharper and more detailed notifications.
It also supports Glyph Toys such as Battery, Timer, Digital Clock, Solar Path and Glyph Mirror, along with Always-on Display integration.
Camera and Design
The Nothing Phone (4a) Pro features a triple rear camera setup:
- 50MP main camera with Sony LYT700c sensor and OIS
- 8MP ultra-wide camera
- 50MP periscope telephoto camera with OIS, 3.5x optical zoom and up to 140x hybrid zoom
For selfies, the phone has a 32MP front camera with support for 4K recording.
The device comes with a full-metal aluminium frame, slim 7.9mm design, and a redesigned camera bar that holds both the cameras and Glyph Matrix. It also uses Corning Gorilla Glass 7i protection and offers IP65 dust and splash resistance.
Battery
The Indian version packs a 5400mAh battery, while the global model has a slightly smaller battery. It supports 50W wired charging, which can charge up to 60% in about 30 minutes. The phone does not support wireless charging.
Nothing says the battery can retain over 90% capacity after 1,200 charging cycles, which equals more than three years of daily charging.

The Nothing Phone (4a) Pro comes in Black, Silver and Pink colours. Pricing in India is:
- 8GB + 128GB: Rs. 39,999
- 8GB + 256GB: Rs. 42,999

Nothing has teased another Pokémon on its official X account and Nothing Community, hinting that a new product could be on the way. This time, the company has shared Kingdra, Pokémon #230 in the National Pokédex.
Kingdra is a Water/Dragon-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II. The teaser features the Pokémon alongside a cryptic description about sleeping deep on the ocean floor to build energy and causing tornadoes when it wakes up.
What Could Nothing Be Launching Next?
Nothing has not revealed which product the new Pokémon teaser refers to. However, the company has previously used Pokémon-themed teasers to build anticipation for upcoming devices, making this latest post worth watching.
An audio product, such as new Nothing Ear earbuds or headphones, could be one possibility. A new smartphone or another product category cannot be ruled out either.
For now, the product name, specifications, pricing and launch date remain unknown. More details may emerge through future teasers from the company.

WhatsApp is testing a new shortcut that makes sharing Instagram Reels directly in chats easier. The feature adds a dedicated Reels button to the chat attachment menu, allowing users to quickly find and share Instagram content without navigating through multiple menus.
The feature was spotted in WhatsApp beta for Android version 2.26.42.9 and is currently rolling out to some beta testers.
WhatsApp Adds a Dedicated Reels Button
Previously, users who linked their WhatsApp account to Meta’s Accounts Center could access Instagram Reels through the media picker. However, finding the option required opening the picker and selecting Instagram from the source list.
With the new shortcut, users can tap the Reels button directly from the chat attachment menu to open a dedicated interface for browsing and sharing content.
Recent, Saved and Liked Reels
The new interface includes three tabs:
- Recent: Reels recently watched on Instagram.
- Saved: Reels saved by the user.
- Liked: Reels liked by the user.
Users can browse these sections and select content to share in WhatsApp chats. The interface also reportedly provides access to posts.
Availability
The shortcut requires users to link their WhatsApp account to Meta’s Accounts Center. This integration remains optional, so users who prefer to keep their accounts separate can continue using WhatsApp without connecting them.
The feature is rolling out gradually to Android beta testers through the Google Play Store. WhatsApp has not yet announced when the dedicated Reels shortcut will become available to all users.
