Nothing has just dropped a bit of a bombshell regarding their lineup for 2026. If you were holding out for a brand-new flagship this year, you might want to adjust those expectations.
In a new video over on their YouTube channel, CEO Carl Pei sat down to chat about what is next for the London-based outfit, and the big takeaway is that they are not planning to release a top-tier successor just yet. Instead, the Phone (3) is going to keep its spot as the company’s main flagship for the rest of the year.
That does not mean they are staying quiet, though. The focus is shifting squarely onto their more affordable range with the upcoming Phone (4a). Pei seems pretty hyped about this one, promising that it will not just be a minor spec bump. The plan is to deliver something that feels like a flagship experience without the eye-watering price tag, featuring premium materials, a design that really pushes the boat out and some new colours too.
Under the hood, Nothing is aiming for a complete evolution. They are talking up significant improvements to the display and cameras, alongside a general boost in performance that should keep things snappy.
It looks like we will not have to wait particularly long to see it in the flesh either, as the device has already cropped up in certification listings over in the UAE.
