This is (almost) surely the real and distinctive design of the Nothing Phone (2a)،
Widely known as one of the world's most reliable (and prolific) mobile technology leakers for several years now, Steve Hemmerstoffer unusually dropped the ball a few weeks ago with Nothing Phone (2a) renders that quickly went viral. revealed to be false, allegedly relevant. to a design that was considered and ultimately rejected during the handset's pre-production process.
That's it… I hope
While there's obviously no way to verify the authenticity of this new batch of leaked product depictions, they certainly fit Nothing's “Fresh Eyes” tagline, looking considerably more distinctive and eye-catching than previous images.
If something were to turn out to be inaccurate this time, we'd probably be talking about minor details rather than something as important as, say, the horizontal alignment of the two shooters on the back of the Nothing Phone (2a) or the presence of glyph lights around this unique circular camera island.
Love it or hate it, this bad boy's back panel is definitely… quirky, even compared to how the “normal” Nothing Phone 2 looks from behind. The size of the imaging sensors strongly suggests that the impending mid-ranger won't be a pushover in the photographic performance department, a theory supported by a number of rumors calling for the dual rear-facing cameras to deliver a resolution of 50MP.
On the front, there's really not much unexpected (or unconventional) to expect, with extremely thin bezels surrounding a screen angled to measure 6.7 inches diagonally and a hole present in the middle of the top of said screen to house the same 32 MP selfie. snapper like the unbranded Nothing Phone 2.
Of course, you'll have to look away from the semi-transparent design on the back of the phone (2a) to notice the somewhat unremarkable screen in the first place, which seems easier said than done, especially since that these two cameras might just feel like they're watching you in an undeniably hypnotic way.
Expected specifications and prices
Whether you find the recently leaked Nothing Phone (2a) design compelling or…creepy, there's really only one way to look at the handset's supposed value proposition right now: with admiration and delight .
If all the latest gossip comes to fruition, we're dealing with a very strong contender here for the title of best budget 5G phone in 2024, which is expected to start at the rough equivalent of $290 in India with a respectable 8GB of RAM , 128GB of internal storage space, a hefty 5000mAh battery equipped with 45W super-fast charging technology, FHD+ screen resolution, 120Hz refresh rate support and pre-installed Android 14 software with a proprietary Nothing OS 2.5 touch.
Perhaps the most important technical detail revealed today is the possible use of an as-yet-unreleased MediaTek Dimensity 7200
Pro processor, which would support Carl Pei's rejection of the rumored “standard” Dimensity 7200 to enter in the Nothing Phone (2a) for quite a long time. some time now.
Yes, India and the US are two very different markets, which makes us expect the Nothing Phone (2a) to cost you at least $400 in the US in an entry-level configuration and …much more with 256GB of storage and 12GB of RAM. What's worse is that availability in the US would be “limited” from the start and unlikely to improve significantly over time, but of course that shouldn't detract from the affordable phone's mass appeal elsewhere.
