The Nothing Phone (4a) has received certification from the UAE's TDRA authority, listed under model number A069. This follows a previous IMEI listing for the Nothing Phone (4a) Pro (model A069P) and recent leaks detailing potential specs for both upcoming mid-range devices. The certification process is a standard regulatory step that typically precedes a commercial release by weeks.

Nothing confirmed a storage upgrade for at least one model and hinted at a possible price hike for the successors to last year's Phone (3a) series. Industry leaks suggest both the base and Pro variants will use Snapdragon 7 series chipsets, with the Pro model adding eSIM support. Color options are expected to include blue, pink, white, and black, with at least one model featuring faster UFS 3.1 storage.

With regulatory approval now in place, a launch event seems imminent. Consumers can likely expect a refined design and improved performance over the 2024 models, though the rumored price increase could position the 4a series higher in the competitive mid-range market. Nothing's next move will be to officially announce the devices and their full specifications.
