We expect the Phone 2a to be cheaper than the Phone 2’s current retail pricing. It will indeed be an upgrade over the Phone 1, which was launched back in 2021 with a mid-range Snapdragon processor – Snapdragon 778G+ to be precise.

Although Nothing hasn’t confirmed any details, the device faced sporadic leaks. That said, we know some of its key highlights. Let’s take a look.

Nothing Phone 2a specifications and features

Nothing Phone 2a is rumored to feature a large 6.7-inch punch-hole AMOLED display with an FHD+ resolution. The device is expected to boast a 120Hz refresh rate and have some sort of glass protection. Just like the Phone 2, the Phone 2a may have symmetrical bezels.

At the helm, the device may be powered by a MediaTek chipset. Leaks suggest a Dimensity 7200 SoC paired with 8GB of RAM and up to 256GB of internal storage. It may not have a microSD card for extra storage.

Expect the device to be equipped with a dual-rear camera system. Nothing may use the 50MP Samsung S5KNG9 main lens for the setup and another 50MP S5KJN1 lens, with the latter being an ultra-wide sensor.

Coming to the battery, the device is expected to pack a big battery with some sort of fast charging support. It is expected to run on Android 14 OS out of the box with Nothing OS skin on top. The Phone 2a will also likely have a Glyph interface, which is a distinctive Nothing feature.

Upon launch, Nothing Phone 2a is expected to compete with mid-range phones from iQOO, OnePlus, Oppo, Vivo, and others.
