Nothing Phone 4a Pro: Battery and Charging (Leaked)

According to the European Product Registry for Energy Labelling, the Nothing Phone (4a) Pro will carry a 5,080mAh battery. This capacity will mark an increase over earlier phones in the same series. The listing also states that the device will support 50W wired charging. If this information proves accurate, users may see shorter charging times during regular use.

The certification data also sheds light on battery durability. According to the listing, the device could maintain up to 80 percent of its original battery capacity after about 1,400 complete charging cycles. This figure highlights an effort to support longer device use, especially as many users now hold on to their phones for several years rather than replacing them frequently.

On the software front, the listing confirms that the Nothing Phone (4a) Pro will run on Android. While the exact version remains unclear, reports suggest that the device may launch with the most recent Android version available at the time. The device is also expected to receive software support for up to five years. This support may include security updates and system updates, which could help extend the usable life of the device.

Furthermore, the Nothing Phone (4a) Pro is also likely to include an IP65 rating, which would offer resistance against dust and water exposure. The certification further assigns the phone a moderate repairability score, indicating that servicing may be possible without major difficulty.
