There won't be a Nothing Phone 4 this year

""There's no new flagship this year," Pei said when asked about phone plans for 2026, instead emphasizing that last year's Phone 3 remains the Nothing flagship. "We're not just going to churn out a new flagship every year for the sake of it, we want every upgrade to feel significant," Pei said. "Just because the rest of the industry does things a certain way it doesn't mean we will do the same.""

""Nothing is releasing phones though, with the midrange Phone 4A series on the way. "4A will be a complete evolution over its predecessor across the board, from display, to camera, to overall performance," Pei said, adding it will be closer to a flagship experience than the 3A series. He was light on the details, beyond the promise of premium materials and "bold new experimentation in terms of color.""

Nothing will not launch a new flagship in 2026; Phone 3 remains the flagship. The company rejects an annual flagship cadence and will prioritize upgrades that feel significant rather than releasing new models for the sake of frequency. A midrange Phone 4A series will arrive, positioned closer to a flagship experience than the previous 3A lineup. The 4A series promises a complete evolution across display, camera, and overall performance, alongside premium materials and bold new experimentation in color. Specific technical details and release timing were not disclosed, with the company remaining light on finer specifications.
