Nothing Phone 4a Pro reportedly surfaces on IMEI database: What to expect

A new listing in the IMEI database points to the Nothing Phone 4a Pro, the successor to the Nothing Phone 3a Pro, with model number 'A069P'

Consumer electronics maker Nothing is reportedly preparing to launch the successor to the Phone 3a Pro. According to a report by Smartprix, a smartphone that seems to be the Nothing Phone 4a Pro was spotted in the IMEI database, ahead of the company’s official announcement. As per the news report, the Nothing Phone 4a Pro was listed on the IMEI database with ‘A069P’ numbering.

 

Smartprix mentioned that the numbering of this device aligns with Nothing’s previous numbering strategy which was seen with older ‘A’ series phones. Nothing Phone 3a was reportedly numbered as A059, whereas the Nothing Phone 3a Pro was numbered as A059P. The Nothing Phone 4a Pro’s numbering directly aligns with this strategy while also showing a generation leap, which means hardware and software are likely to be upgraded.

Nothing Phone 4a Pro: What to expect

Nothing Phone 4a Pro is expected to be powered by a chipset higher than the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 3, which was seen in its predecessor, Nothing Phone 3a Pro. If this happens, then the overall performance and artificial intelligence capabilities will likely see a boost.

 

For imaging, the Nothing Phone 4a Pro is likely to get an improvement in camera sensors and video quality. Further, an increase in charging power, beyond 50W, can also happen. Akin to all Nothing Phones, the Nothing Phone 4a Pro is likely to retain the Glyph interface.

 

Detailed specifications of the Nothing Phone (4a) series are yet to be disclosed. Further information about the smartphone is expected to be revealed in the coming weeks.
