Nothing Phone (4a) Tipped to Receive a Rs. 3,000 Price Hike in India Starting August 1

The Nothing Phone (4a) could soon become more expensive in India. A tipster claims that the mid-range smartphone from the UK-based brand is expected to be in line to receive a price hike across all RAM and onboard storage configurations beginning next month. The handset was launched in India in March alongside the Phone (4a) Pro, equipped with a Snapdragon 7 series chip, a new Glyph Bar lighting system, and a 5,400mAh battery.

In an X Post, tipster Yogesh Brar (@heyitsyogesh) claimed that the Nothing Phone (4a) will receive a price hike in India from August 1. According to the tipster, the 8GB + 128GB RAM and onboard storage variant will be priced at Rs. 42,999. The 8GB + 256GB option is tipped to cost Rs. 46,999, while the top-end 12GB + 256GB variant could see its price hike to Rs. 49,999.

If the tipster's claims are accurate, all three variants of the Nothing Phone (4a) could become more expensive by Rs. 3,000. Customers who wish to buy the handset may want to place their orders before August 1 if they wish to avoid the reported increase.

For comparison, the launch price of the Nothing Phone (4a) in India was set at Rs. 31,999 for the 8GB + 128GB variant, while the 8GB + 256GB and 12GB + 256GB models cost Rs. 34,999 and Rs. 37,999, respectively. Its current retail pricing, meanwhile, is Rs. 39,999, Rs. 43,999, and Rs. 46,999 for the 8GB + 128GB, 8GB + 256GB, and 12GB + 256GB models.

The headset is offered in Black, White, Blue, and Pink colour options. The reason behind the reported price revision, however, remains unknown. The company has yet to officially confirm the revised pricing.
