Nothing launched its highly anticipated smartphone – the Nothing Phone (2a) in India and globally and it’s the company’s third smartphone in its portfolio. Features and highlights include MediaTek Dimensity 7200 Pro, Glyph LED back design, 120 Hz flexible AMOLED screen, dual 50 MP OIS main + 50 MP ultra-wide cameras, up to 12 GB LPDDR5 RAM, up to 256 GB UFS 3.1 storage, 5,000 mAh battery with 45W fast charging, Nothing OS 2.5 based on Android 14, and more.
The Nothing Phone (2a) is a mid-range smartphone powered by a MediaTek Diemsity 7200 Pro octa-core SoC clocked up to 2.8 GHz paired with ARM Mali-G610 MC4 Graphics, up to 12 GB LPDDR5 RAM, and up to 256 GB UFS 3.1 internal storage. The phone comes in three options i.e. 8 GB RAM + 128 GB storage, 8 GB RAM + 256 GB storage, and 12 GB RAM + 256 GB storage.
The Nothing Phone (2a) has an LED light back design which is inspired by Massimo Vignelli’s New York subway map. The LEDs for the Glyph on the back are placed differently since this only uses 3 separations. It has 26 addressable LED lighting zones compared to 12 in the Nothing Phone (1). It can be used for volume, timer, Uber/Zomato, and notifications.
“The upper part of Phone (2a) has been designed with the camera at its epicenter while carefully positioning the rest of the elements using a circular grid system,” said the company. It has an industry-first NFC coil behind the camera with its 90° angle and unibody cover wrapping around the edges, the company adds.
The smartphone equips a 6.7-inch flexible AMOLED display with Full HD+ resolution (2,412 x 1,084 pixels), 30 Hz – 120 Hz refresh rate, 10-bit depth (1.07B colors), 240 Hz touch sampling rate, 1,300 nits peak brightness, 2,160 Hz PWM dimming, and protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5. The smartphone has an IP54 splash-resistant design, 8.55mm thickness, weighs about 190 grams, and comes in two color variants – White, and Black.
On the camera side, the smartphone comes with a dual setup including a 50 MP f/1.88 primary camera with 1/1.56 sensor size and OIS support and a secondary 50 MP f/2.2 114° ultra-wide camera. The camera supports 4k video recording and Action Mode while the front side offers a 32 MP f/2.4 selfie camera. Users can set the Glyph Interface to full brightness and illuminate close-up subjects with a gentle light.
The Nothing Phone (2a) packs a 5,000 mAh battery with 45W fast charging. It runs on the Android 14 operating system with NothingOS 2.5 on top and offers 3 years of OS updates with 4 years of security updates.
