Following a few months’ worth of leaks, rumors and speculation, Nothing has finally gone ahead and unveiled the Nothing Phone 2a, the latest addition to its line of Android smartphones. One notable element about the 2a is its affordability (hence the “a”), although it does come with a few more surprises.
For one, the phone comes with a custom MediaTek Dimensity 7200 Pro chipset, a custom SoC developed by Nothing in collaboration with MediaTek. The company says that the specially-designed SoC allows for better performance and power efficiency, and it’s backed by up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage.
Of course, the phone does come with the signature transparent design as seen on other Nothing Phones, although it does come with a slightly different rear panel design due to the re-arranged camera module, which Nothing refers to as “The Eyes” – housed in a central NFC coil, the setup houses a dual 50MP camera array, complemented by a 32 MP front camera that uses the same sensor as the Phone 2.
In front you’ll find a rather large 6.7-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, as well as a maximum brightness of up to 1,300 nits, which is considerably bright when compared to most smartphones on the market. This entire setup is powered by a 5,000 mAh battery with support for 45W fast charging.
In terms of price, the Nothing Phone 2a starts at $349 for the 12GB RAM and 256GB storage variant, which is a lot more affordable than most competing “A” series devices on the market like the Galaxy A54 and Pixel 7a.
