The Nothing Phone 4a could already be in the works

The Nothing Phone 4a Pro has appeared in an IMEI database listing under the model number A069P, giving the first concrete indication that the device is in development. The numbering matches Nothing’s established convention, with the Phone 3a carrying the model number A059 and its Pro version listed as A059P. The “P” suffix has consistently marked Pro or Plus variants in Nothing’s lineup, making it very likely that this is indeed the 4a Pro. The IMEI database entry itself does not provide any hardware or design details, but such listings usually mark the start of the regulatory process, signaling that the phone is preparing for a future release.

Nothing has also hinted that it plans to expand its affordable smartphone range by introducing Lite and T branded models alongside its existing A-series devices. The continued use of the Pro label within the A-series suggests that the company is committed to maintaining a slightly higher-spec option in its midrange lineup rather than limiting new launches to pared-down versions. This could be an effort to capture different segments of the budget and midrange market while keeping the Nothing brand visible in more accessible price tiers.

The IMEI entry doesn’t offer more than a model number at this stage, but together with Nothing’s comments on expanding its lower-cost range, it strongly indicates that the 4a Pro is on the way. Confirmation from the company will ultimately clarify where this new model sits in its growing portfolio.
