Nothing has shared a new update about its smartphone plans for 2026. According to company co-founder Carl Pei, the brand will not launch the Nothing Phone (4) in 2026. Instead, Nothing will put major focus on the Nothing Phone (4a) Series.
This means 2026 will mainly be about the Phone (4a) lineup, not the flagship Phone (4).
What to expect from the Nothing Phone (4a) Series
Carl Pei also confirmed that the upcoming Phone (4a) series will bring improvements in many key areas, including:
- Better materials
- Refreshed design
- Improved display
- Upgraded camera
- And more overall refinements
The company wants to make the Phone (4a) series more polished and practical for everyday users, especially in the mid-range segment.
Why Nothing is doing this
By delaying the Nothing Phone (4), the brand seems to be taking more time to perfect its next flagship. At the same time, Nothing is strengthening its mid-range phones, which are popular among users who want good design and features at a lower price.
For now, fans should expect no Nothing Phone (4) in 2026, while the spotlight stays on the Nothing Phone (4a) Series with meaningful upgrades.
More official details about launch timelines and specifications are expected in the coming months.
