Battery capacity is 5080mAh with support for 50W wired charging. The frame is plastic, which makes it lighter, and it has an IP64 rating for dust and water resistance.

The Glyph Bar on the back adds LED notifications with six segments and a red recording light.

Price and Availability

The Nothing Phone (4a) starts at €349/₹31,999 (around ₱23,840) for the 8GB+128GB model.

In the Philippines, the phone will come in only one variant — 12GB+256GB. Local pricing is still under wraps, but expect to find it in Digital Walker and Open Source by Beyond the Box stores.
