In recent weeks, rumors have swirled about the future of Nothing, the London-based technology company founded by Carl Pei, the co-founder of OnePlus.

First, there were hints that Nothing was working on something new, perhaps the next-gen Nothing Ear (3), which should arrive early next year. Then, rumors of a more budget-friendly Nothing Phone (2a) in development surfaced, and it looks like we might even get its launch date soon.

According to serial tipster Abhishek Yadav, Nothing may announce the Nothing Phone (2a) launch date later this week. And he's not the only one who thinks so: leaker Ishan Agarwal also shared on X (ex-Twitter) that the launch date is close.

Both of their guesses are likely based on Nothing's updated X bio, which hints that something new is coming this week. Just recently, a new Nothing device was spotted on the BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards), suggesting an imminent launch in India (via 91mobiles). This device could be the rumored Nothing Phone (2a). Additionally, a phone battery with model number NT03 was also certified by Nothing, further hinting at the existence of this smartphone and the possibility of a different battery size compared to the phone (2). .

The Nothing Phone (2a) is rumored to sport a 6.7-inch AMOLED display, the same size as the Nothing Phone (2). It is also said to have a center-aligned selfie camera, but it may not be an LTPO panel like the phone (2).

Nothing has a reputation for creating distinctively designed devices, including the LED array on the back – the Glyph interface. This oddly shaped symbol has become somewhat of a signature for Nothing, even though it is not an official logo.

The Nothing Phone (2a) is expected to be priced lower than the Nothing Phone (2), which costs $599 in the US. If Nothing follows a similar pricing strategy to its competitors, like Google's approach with the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7a, then we can expect the Nothing Phone (2a) to cost less than $500.
