Nothing CEO Carl Pei confirmed in a YouTube video that the company will not launch any flagship smartphone in 2026. This means there will be no Nothing Phone (4) this year, and the company says Nothing Phone (3) will continue to serve as the brand’s flagship through 2026.
Nothing has been reserved with its flagship launches from the beginning. For example, the Phone (3) arrived after a two-year gap following the Phone (2). The company is basically replicating the same strategy with its next flagship.
That said, this does not mean there will be no new phone launches this year. Carl Pei confirmed that Nothing will introduce the Phone (4a) series, which will bring upgrades in the following areas:
- materials
- design
- display
- camera
- and more
The video also talks about software, particularly Essential Space. According to Pei, users will be able to create their own widgets via it. The feature is currently in alpha testing and is expected to move to the beta stage soon. You can check out the video below for more details:

As mentioned by Pei, the Nothing Phone (4a) series is indeed launching, and it could happen quite soon. Both the Phone (4a) and Phone (4a) Pro have surfaced on regulatory platforms, confirming several key details.
