Nothing Won't Launch a Flagship Model in 2026; Company to Focus on Nothing Phone 4a and Audio Products, Carl Pei Says
Nothing has outlined its 2026 roadmap in a video featuring founder and CEO Carl Pei, covering products, retail, leadership, and pricing pressures. Pei confirmed there will be no new flagship smartphone in 2026, with the Nothing Phone 3 remaining the flagship. Instead, the company will upgrade its mid-range lineup with the Phone 4a and expand its audio focus, especially over-ear headphones. Pei also highlighted Nothing OS 4.0, upcoming Essential apps, and said smartphone prices may rise due to higher RAM and storage costs driven by AI demand.
