Nothing Phone (2a) To Launch In March: Here’s What We Know So Far

The debut of the Nothing Phone (2a) — the third smartphone from the disruptive brand — is on the horizon and slated for release next month. The device is tipped to be positioned as a more budget-friendly option compared to its predecessor, the original Nothing Phone 2, which made its debut last year.

In a video shared on social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter) earlier this week, Nothing officially confirmed the forthcoming launch of its next smartphone as March 5th at 11:30 GMT.

Leaked images of a pre-production unit have already surfaced, showcasing a redesigned back panel. The forthcoming Nothing Phone (2a) is also set to feature a centrally positioned hole-punch for its front camera and a horizontally aligned 50-megapixel dual camera configuration on the rear panel, a departure from previous design iterations of Nothing smartphones.

In addition, rumors are circulating regarding the inclusion of a revamped Glyph Interface, offering similar Glyph controls as the Nothing Phone 2. Another insider has hinted at the integration of a trio of Glyph components inside the device.

Based on the disclosed details and accompanying visuals, indications suggest that the Nothing Phone (2a) will debut with Nothing OS 2.5, which is based on Android 14.

In terms of hardware, rumors have been mixed: Many pundits suggested the phone would feature a 6.7-inch AMOLED screen, while others said a 120Hz OLED display would be more likely. Reports also suggest the Nothing Phone (2a) will be powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 7200 SoC, paired with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage.
