Nothing Phone 4a could be the next-generation midrange smartphone from the UK tech brand to hit the market. We don't know much about this purported handset at the moment, but a new entry on the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) website hints at its upcoming launch in India. The Nothing Phone 4a is expected to offer upgrades over the Phone 3a model, which debuted in India in March with a Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 processor. The existing model has a 6.7-inch screen, a 50-megapixel triple rear camera setup, and a 5,000mAh battery with 50W wired fast charging support.
