The vast show floors at Mobile World Congress (MWC) are full of surprises, and you never know who or what you may run into. Case in point, we came across the yet to be released Nothing Phone (4a) in all four of its official colors ahead of its upcoming March 5 announcement. Nothing had the Phone (4a) units behind protective glass, so we could only admire them from a distance and did not get to actually hold them.
The new color options offer some welcome variety, with the traditional black and white models now joined by blue and pink options. These two new hues are quite saturated shades and are a refreshing take in today’s mostly muted smartphone colorway landscape.

The blue version in particular seems more vibrant than the darker shade of blue on last year’s Phone (3a).

The pink version is also quite eye-catching and a welcome addition to Nothing’s expanding color palette.

Interestingly, the white, blue and pink colors all feature silver camera visors while the black model gets a color-matched darker shade for its visor. The black variant also gets color-matched buttons, while the rest get silver-accented ones.

The side frames on all four are color-matched to their primary color, and if we were to go by last year’s Phone (3a) build, the frame on the Phone (4a) could very well be made out of plastic.
Just like the previous teasers confirmed, Nothing separated the Essential Key from the power and volume keys by placing it on the left-hand side. Unfortunately, these demo phones were not powered on, and we could not see the new Glyph Bar in action.
That’s all we have from this brief encounter with the Phone (4a). Stay tuned for its announcement coming later this week.
