Nothing launched the Phone (3a) and Phone (3a) Pro mid-range smartphones back in March, and now the company is already working on their successors - or at least one of them.

That's because the Phone (3a)'s model number is A059 and the Phone (3a) Pro's is A059P. Thus, logic dictates the Phone (4a) Pro would be the A069P. Unfortunately, no other details are known right now about the upcoming device. Keep in mind that these sorts of IMEI listings generally...
