Nothing Phone 4a, Phone 4a Pro colour options, Design

The Nothing Phone 4a has been launched in four colour options — Blue and Pink, alongside Black and White colours, which were also seen on the Phone 3a. Meanwhile, the Phone 4a Pro will be available in Black, Silver and Pink colours.

Nothing Phone 4a Design

The all-new Nothing Phone 4a has been announced with a slightly refreshed design compared to the predecessor, but the overall aesthetic remains the same, as it continues to carry the company's signature transparent back panel.

Notably, the signature Glyph LED arcs seen on earlier models have been replaced by a vertical Glyph Bar, which includes six white LED squares and one red LED square, with each square comprising nine mini LEDs.

It is worth noting that the red LED square lights up when the phone is recording a video, while the remaining Glyph LEDs respond to actions like notifications, timers and the camera shutter.

The Glyph Bar is positioned beside the camera module near the top portion. Meanwhile, the placement of the camera setup also appears similar to its predecessor.

The Phone 4a has the same flat-edge frame with curved corners. However, the Essential Key has shifted to the left side, while the volume and power buttons are placed on the right.

Nothing Phone 4a Pro Design

The Nothing Phone 4a Pro has a slightly different design approach compared to the standard model. It does not feature a fully transparent rear panel. Instead, it comes with a metal unibody design.

The most noticeable design element on this variant is the Glyph Matrix, which is positioned beside the camera module on the top of the rear panel. Notably, this matrix-style LED setup can display different lighting patterns and animations for notifications and alerts.

The rear camera module is housed in a rectangular island with separate cutouts for the sensors. A small red accent square is also present on the module, which lights up when the phone is recording a video.
