Summary

  • A new Nothing phone with model number A036 has appeared in the GSMA IMEI database.
  • It joins the A006 and A010, which were spotted in the same database in August 2026.
  • Nothing plans to launch around six phones in 2027, double the three it launched this year.

Back in August 2026, Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis said that the company plans to double its smartphone lineup in 2027. Now, we’re getting the first signs of those phones, as a new Nothing phone has been spotted, making it the third unreleased Nothing model to show up so far.

Unreleased Nothing Phone Shows Up Online

An exclusive OVR+ report says a new Nothing phone with model number A036 has appeared in the GSMA IMEI database. The listing reveals nothing beyond the model number. So, we don’t know the phone's name, specs or launch date yet.

However, IMEI listings usually show up a few months before launch, so it’s likely one of Nothing’s 2027 phones. Aside from the A036, two other unreleased Nothing phones, with model numbers A006 and A010, were spotted in the IMEI database in August 2026.

Reports suggest these could debut in early 2027. According to OVR+, none of the three models is expected to be a high-end phone. Nothing’s recent launches have all been (a) and (b) series phones. 

Nothing's Plans for 2027

In 2026, Nothing launched three phones: the Nothing Phone (4a), Phone (4a) Pro and Phone (4b). For 2027, Evangelidis said the company plans to launch twice as many phones, which works out to about six phones. Nothing is also targeting around 50% growth in smartphone shipments next year.

Nothing hasn’t shared which phones are coming yet. However, a CMF phone could make a comeback in 2027, after Nothing cancelled the CMF Phone 3 Pro this year. Besides phones, Nothing is also rumoured to be working on its first smartwatch outside the CMF brand and Nothing-branded smart glasses.

Finally, Nothing’s first AI device is set to ship in December 2026. CEO Carl Pei has confirmed the device has no screen and gave a sneak peek of its design.
