Overview
- In a company video, CEO Carl Pei confirmed there will be no Phone 4 in 2026 and that last year’s Phone 3 remains the flagship.
- Pei said the Phone (4a) will be a complete evolution with upgrades to display, camera and performance, plus premium materials, bold new colors and faster UFS 3.1 storage.
- He framed the decision as a move away from yearly refreshes so each flagship step feels meaningful rather than incremental.
- Nothing plans to double down on over-ear headphones this year, signaling more audio hardware following Headphone (1).
- Pei flagged volatile memory costs and warned smartphone prices will rise in 2026 due to RAM shortages.
