After the company’s recent moves, it’s clear that Nothing is here to stay. They currently create a product ecosystem that includes three models of headphones, two mobile phones and even a sub-brand (CMF with headphones, charger and smartwatch). A mid-range mobile phone is missing from its catalog and it looks like it will be the company’s next model.

And that’s it, Nothing Phone 2a existence leaked Below we’ll tell you everything we know about the handset and also take a look at its back. At least what can be seen.

Nothing Phone 2a to compete against Redmi and Realme

With the release of Nothing Phone (2), the company did not discontinue Nothing Phone (1). This remained the most economical option with a very attractive price (especially during sale periods) and was the company’s mid-range mobile phone due to its processor.

But, This isn’t a mid-range, and that’s where the Nothing Phone 2a comes into play. Following Google’s strategy of naming it with an ‘a’ signifying that it is the cheapest handset, but retaining some features of its high-end handsets, the Nothing Phone 2a would become an option to try to penetrate the market further.

According to leak Yogesh BrarAs we can read on Android Authority, Nothing Phone 2a will assemble Dimensity 7200 as SoC. This isn’t the latest generation of MediaTek’s mid-range chips – they favor the 8000 series – but it’s a good option for powering a handset in this range. Moreover This could be the way to distinguish premium mobile phones from NothingWith Snapdragon and mid-range ones.

Nothing Phone 2a with protective case of prototypes

This SoC will be accompanied by 8 GB RAM, 128 GB storage and, if the leak image is correct, Android 14, NothingOS 2.5 and two 50 megapixel cameras on the back.

Interestingly, although the handset is covered in a typical casing that the prototypes have, we can see that the cameras are arranged horizontally, breaking away from the aesthetics that have characterized the two Nothing Phones released so far. What we can’t see is the Glyph interface, which is the element most representative of the brand.

The screen will be 6.7 inches and have a 120 Hz refresh rate. Nothing Phone 2a is planned to be presented during the Nothing event at Mobile World Congress 2024. We’ll see what happens and of course we’ll start seeing more leaks about the device from now on.

Now, as we always say, this is nothing but a leak. There is nothing official and it should be considered a leak from the beginning that may contain changing information. In any case, we will eliminate doubts on February 27because it is the date of the company’s event at the Barcelona fair.
