Nothing is gearing up to unveil its latest budget-friendly phones, with CEO Carl Pei having recently teased a March 5 launch event. While the company hasn’t officially shared any details, leaks suggest the Nothing Phone 4a and Phone 4a Pro are on the way. The new models are expected to build on last year’s Phone 3a series with upgraded chipsets, improved durability, and faster wired charging. Now, a fresh leak has revealed key specifications and pricing for both models.

The leaked information comes from tipster Billbil-kun, who shared details about Nothing’s upcoming Headphone (a) earlier this month. The leaker claims that the standard Nothing Phone 4a will bring several improvements over its predecessor, including a triple 50MP camera setup, covering focal lengths from 0.6x ultra-wide to 70x ultra-zoom. It will also feature a 32MP front-facing camera and retain Nothing’s iconic transparent design, but with more organic curves and a Glyph Bar consisting of 63 mini LEDs.

The Phone 4a is also said to feature a 6.78-inch 1.5K AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, a larger battery, and support for 50W wired fast charging. The Phone 4a Pro will allegedly take things up a notch, offering up to 140x zoom, a 50MP Sony main camera with OIS, and an aluminum unibody chassis for better heat dissipation. It will also feature a Glyph Matrix display and a larger 6.83-inch AMOLED screen with a 144Hz refresh rate.

The upgrade may come at a higher price

As for pricing, both models are expected to cost more than their predecessors. The 8GB/128GB variant of the Phone 4a could start at €389 (~$460), while the 12GB/256GB model is tipped to cost €429 (~$510). The Pro model is said to be priced at €479 (~$565) for the 8GB/128GB variant, with the higher-end 12GB/256GB model reportedly coming in at €549 (~$593).

The tipster adds that following the March 5 launch event, the Nothing Phone 4a could go on sale alongside the budget-friendly Headphone a on March 12, while the Phone 4a Pro may follow later on March 26.

Apple's next iPhone may not get a dramatic RAM upgrade, but it could receive just enough extra memory to keep its growing AI ambitions running smoothly. According to TF International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the standard iPhone 18 and iPhone 18e are expected to move from 8GB to 9GB of RAM, primarily to support deeper Apple Intelligence integration in iOS 27.

This free iPhone app uses soothing haptics to help you calm down
This iOS app skips accounts and subscriptions, relying on touch alone to help you relax.

Most mindfulness apps want you to create an account, buy subscription, and give a chunk of your attention before they help you unwind. Vän, a new iPhone app from Swiss indie developer Adrian Stanco, is built to be the opposite.

I found the app on Reddit, and the pitch alone made me curious enough to try it. Instead of sounds or endless scrolling, it leans entirely on haptics, the tiny vibrations your phone is already capable of producing. The result is a feeling of calm you get by simply holding your smartphone rather than watching the screen.
