Nothing is expected to unveil its latest mid-range offering, the Phone (2a), at the upcoming MWC 2024, which is set to take place in late February.
The smartphone is expected to cost around Rs 33,000 to Rs 35,000 and will be available on Flipkart.
It is said to be the first smartphone from Nothing to feature MediaTek chipset – Dimensity 7200 SoC.
It’s been almost seven months since ‘Nothing‘, the brainchild of Carl Pei, dropped its second smartphone. Now, brace yourselves because they’re about to unleash the Phone (2a)– the third member of their smartphone squad. In a world flooded with lookalike glass slabs, Nothing’s got that killer unique design.
While the company, so far, has kept most details under wraps, the online rumour mill has been buzzing about what to expect from Nothing’s upcoming Phone (2a). Here’s a look at everything we know so far.
Nothing Phone (2a) Expected Price and Availability in India
The upcoming Phone (2a) is poised to serve as a more budget-friendly option compared to its flagship counterpart, the Phone (2). Consequently, it is expected to boast a more modest price tag than its premium sibling. If speculation holds true, the forthcoming Phone (2a) is estimated to be priced at around Rs 35,000.
Nevertheless, we are inclined to believe that Nothing will keep the Phone (2a) comfortably below the Rs 35,000 threshold, with the base variant starting around Rs 32,000. The smartphone will most likely arrive at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2024, which is scheduled to take place in late February. In India, it will be available on Flipkart as the microsite is already live.
Nothing Phone (2a) Design
Recently, Nothing accidentally shared pictures of the Phone (2a) on its Reddit page. Even though the images were taken down, they got spread across social media.
The pictures of the supposed Phone (2a) don’t show its design clearly because it’s in a protective case. On the front, you can see the phone has a display with a hole in the middle.
The back of the phone might have a new Glyph design, but we can’t see it because of the case. The rear does imply the presence of a horizontally arranged dual-camera system and an LED flash.
Nothing Phone (2a) Expected Specifications
The Phone (2a) has surfaced on various certification platforms, including TDRA and TUV, affirming its 45W wired fast charging capability. Additionally, it will also feature Nothing’s distinctive Glyph interface. Here’s a rundown of all the rumoured specifications for the device:
The Phone (2a) is expected to feature a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate.
It is likely to be the first smartphone from Nothing to draw power from the MediaTek chipset, especially Dimensity 7200 SoC.
The smartphone is reported to be released in two variants, offering 8GB RAM + 128GB storage and 12GB RAM + 256GB storage options.
The Phone (2a) is expected to incorporate a 50MP Samsung ISOCELL S5KGN9 primary camera and a 50MP ISOCELL JN1 ultra-wide-angle lens. For selfies, a 16MP front camera is anticipated.
On the software front, the Phone (2a) is expected to run on Android 14-based Nothing OS 2.5 out-of-the-box.
The smartphone is likely to come with a 4,290mAh battery.
Regarding colour options, the Phone (2a) is expected to be available in Black and White, similar to the flagship models.
