Nothing is a British smartphone manufacturer founded by Carl Pei (co-founder of OnePlus) and known for its minimalist aesthetic and design. The company has so far introduced two phones: the Nothing Phone (1) and the Nothing Phone (2). Although the Phone (1) has not been officially released in the United States, the Phone (2) is available in the United States starting at $600. Now, all indications point to the upcoming Nothing Phone (2a) – a scaled-down, mid-range version of the flagship Nothing Phone (2). Recently, the upcoming smartphone was spotted on the TUV certification website (via MySmartPrice) with model number A142. While the listing doesn't divulge many details, it does confirm that the Nothing Phone (2a) will support 45W fast charging.
Although many smartphones in 2024 support up to 120W fast charging, 45W fast charging is still considered pretty fast. Competitors to the Nothing Phone (2a), such as the Pixel 7a or the next-generation iPhone SE 4, are both rumored to support lower charging speeds.
However, in terms of other specifications, the Nothing Phone (2a) cannot outperform its competitors. Leaks suggest that the Carl Pei company's mid-range smartphone will feature the MediaTek Dimensity 7200 SoC, a potentially slower chipset than the Exynos 1480 that is expected to power the upcoming Galaxy A55 or the Tensor G2 that will power the Pixel 7a.
Previous rumors indicate that the Nothing Phone (2a) will be available in at least two variants based on memory capacity: 8/128 GB and 12/256 GB. It is expected to run on Nothing OS 2.5 based on Android 14, with a 3 year promise of OS upgrades.
The smartphone will feature a 120Hz OLED display and will be available in two colors: black and white. The base model should cost around $400. The smartphone is expected to debut soon, perhaps next month, at the company's 'Nothing to See' event on February 27. Carl Pei hinted at the introduction of a new smartphone, probably the Phone (2a), at this event.
In addition to its next smartphone, Nothing is preparing to launch new neckband headphones and a power bank. Stay tuned for updates as the event is just around the corner.
