Nothing has expanded its mid-range lineup with the Phone (4a) (launched March 2026) and the newer Phone (4b). Both deliver the brand’s signature transparent design and Glyph interface but target slightly different users. The 4a is the more premium mid-ranger, while the 4b focuses on value with a bigger battery. Here’s a head-to-head breakdown.

5Camera

  • Nothing Phone (4a): 50 MP main (OIS) + 50 MP 3.5x periscope telephoto + 8 MP ultrawide; 32 MP front camera. Supports 4K video with good stabilization.
  • Nothing Phone (4b): 50 MP main (OIS) + 8 MP ultrawide; 16 MP front camera. Decent 4K video on main sensor.

The 4a’s telephoto lens is the standout feature — it offers true optical zoom for portraits and distant subjects without quality loss. The 4b’s dual-camera setup is basic but capable in good lighting thanks to the solid 50 MP main sensor.

Winner: Nothing Phone (4a) — far more versatile.
