"After four years on the mobile handset market, Nothing is still lacking a major presence in the US. That's partly because it has mostly sold its phones through a confusing beta program for some time. Also, it doesn't have any US carrier partners, which is how most Americans buy a new smartphone."
"The Phone (4a), which won't launch in the US, costs £349, whereas the Phone (4a) Pro will start at $499, matching the Google Pixel 10a's price. The former goes on sale March 13, whereas the Pro launches exclusively through Amazon on March 27."
"Nothing also unveiled the Headphone (a), a more budget-friendly version of the over-ear headphones it debuted last year. It will be sold in the US for $199, beginning March 13."
Nothing, founded by OnePlus creator Carl Pei, announced the Phone (4a), Phone (4a) Pro, and Headphone (a) at a London event following Mobile World Congress 2026. The Phone (4a) costs £349 and launches March 13 but won't be sold in the US. The Phone (4a) Pro starts at $499, matching Google's Pixel 10a, and launches exclusively through Amazon on March 27 in the US. Nothing's limited US presence stems from reliance on a beta program and lack of carrier partnerships. The company is expanding retail globally with new stores planned in Tokyo and New York City. The Headphone (a), a budget version of last year's over-ear headphones, launches in the US for $199 on March 13. The Phone (4a) series maintains Nothing's distinctive design aesthetic.
