The Nothing Phone (4a) has been certified by the Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority (TDRA) in the United Arab Emirates. The certification, issued on January 22, 2026, covers a device with the model number A069 and equipment registration ER55923/06. While the listing identifies the product simply as a “smartphone,” it does not provide detailed specifications or officially confirm the device’s name as Nothing Phone (4a).
This certification suggests that the smartphone is likely to be released in the UAE and possibly other global markets soon. Industry observers anticipate the official launch could take place by March 2026, marking the next step in Nothing’s expansion into international markets.
**Why this matters**
Certification from regulatory bodies like the TDRA is a key step before a device can be sold in a region. The approval of the Nothing Phone (4a) indicates the company is preparing for a wider global release. This move could help Nothing strengthen its presence outside its initial markets and compete with other smartphone manufacturers worldwide.
