Nothing today announced Phone (2a), its highly anticipated new smartphone offering. Phone (2a) is designed to provide the optimal daily smartphone experience by combining users’ core needs with all of Nothing’s expertise, technology and craftsmanship. A device for people who like to discover new innovations and designs, but also know what they want (and don’t want) from their smartphone. These include a powerful, unique processor, an exceptional 50MP dual rear camera, an ultra-bright, flexible AMOLED display and an intuitive operating system that delivers a fast and smooth experience with every interaction.
“This year is about accelerating our progress and the Phone (2a) is our first big step forward. The Phone (2a) will allow even more people to experience the Nothing innovations that many love, and we are confident it will be our best-selling product ever,” said Carl Pei, CEO and co-founder of Nothing,
Performance
The Phone (2a)’s Dimensity 7200 Pro processor was developed exclusively in collaboration with MediaTek to deliver the best performance with optimal energy efficiency.
Built on TSMC’s latest second-generation 4nm process technology, the Phone (2a) handles any task effortlessly with unparalleled power efficiency and blazing speed. The 8-core chip with a clock frequency of up to 2.8 GHz, together with the 20 GB of RAM with RAM booster technology, ensures fast and responsive multitasking – all day long. This results in performance that is 13% more powerful than the Phone (1) and 16% more efficient.
Together, Nothing and MediaTek have introduced optimizations such as Smart Clean (+200% UFS read/write speed with extended use) and Adaptive NTFS (+100% file transfer speed with Windows computers) and have been able to reduce the power consumption of certain components by up to 10%.
Battery and charging
Nothing’s largest smartphone battery to date is a powerful 5,000 mAH unit. It can be used for up to two days on a full charge. Not only is it bigger, it is also more powerful. On Phone (1), Nothing increased battery life by over 25%. This means it can retain over 90% of its maximum capacity after 1,000 charge cycles, which is equivalent to more than three years of daily charging. The battery also has a 13% lower charging and discharging temperature than the phone (1), which contributes to its longevity.
For fast charging, the Phone (2a) supports 45W fast charging, which delivers 50% of the power in just 20 minutes. An optimal charging solution that avoids the risk of decreasing battery life that is often associated with higher wattage and charging speed.
Camera
To capture life’s most beautiful moments, the Phone (2a) features a flawless 50MP dual rear camera powered by our TrueLens Engine. The TrueLens Engine is a series of advanced calculation algorithms that ensure that every shot taken with the Phone (2a) is as close to reality as possible. This includes Ultra XDR, developed in collaboration with Google to ensure a more accurate representation of highlights and shadows in every shot. Eight images are taken at different exposure levels in RAW format and then the brightness of each pixel is adjusted up to five times to achieve the most lifelike result possible.
To take perfect selfies anytime, anywhere, the Phone (2a) has an exceptional 32MP front camera that uses the same sensor as the Phone (2), which has 27% higher light sensitivity compared to the Phone (1). and allows more details to be seen.

The Phone (2a) features a flexible 6.7-inch AMOLED display that delivers stunningly accurate color reproduction of 1.07 billion colors while minimizing battery consumption. With a peak brightness of 1,300 nits, the Phone (2a) offers an uncompromising viewing experience even in the brightest outdoor conditions.
With a refresh rate of 120 Hz, the Phone (2a) offers sublimely smooth interactions that dynamically adapt to the content being displayed. The refresh rate now ranges from 30Hz to 120Hz to ensure a smooth response time while reducing battery consumption.
The phone (2a) has the thinnest bezels in Nothing’s smartphone range, measuring just 2.1mm symmetrically on all four sides of the screen. This performance results in an impressive 91.65% screen-to-body ratio, made possible by combining a flexible panel with structural improvements.
layout
The Phone (2a) is the ultimate representation of Nothing’s unique design expression. In fact, it embodies the very first internal smartphone design concept, developed back in 2020, a few months after Nothing was launched.
With Phone (2a), Nothing has created a new product symbol by placing the cameras inside the NFC coil: the eyes. Behind this is the center of intelligence, which controls the cell phone like a brain. The Phone (2a) offers an industry first: the 90° angled unibody housing wraps around the edges and gives Nothing’s design a new dimension and perspective, while the dual camera module is seamlessly integrated. This structure is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also makes the device more stable, which is noticeable in the drop test results.
The unique “camera bump,” which balances form and function, also stabilizes the phone when lying flat on a surface and helps keep fingers out of the way when taking a picture.
Nothing OS
Phone (2a) comes onto the market with Nothing OS 2.5. Unlike most devices in this category, it ships with Android 14 and has an impressive three years of software updates and four years of security updates.
With Nothing OS 2.5, Nothing has expanded its library with even more Nothing-designed widgets that enable more information and interaction on your home screen through swipes and animations. Phone (2a) introduces a new recorder widget that allows users to create voice notes on the go. Nothing has also introduced an AI-powered Wallpaper Studio that allows for an unlimited number of personalized wallpapers for your home and lock screens.
The glyph interface
On the back of the phone, the iconic Glyph surface has been redesigned (Phone (2a)). A new way to interact with your smartphone that encourages you to put away the screen and refer to light and sound patterns to get important information. The new Glyph UI maintains Phone (2)’s new features, including Glyph Timer and Glyph Progression, which leverages third-party integrations, while contributing to the distinct aesthetics of Phone (2a)’s new back cover design with a unique trio light configuration.
sustainability
Phone (2a) delivers the lowest carbon footprint of Nothing in a smartphone. At 52kg it is 12.5% lower than the Phone (1). In the spirit of sustainability, Nothing has developed a brand new recycling process at its production facility that allows plastic waste from the Ear (2) production line to be reused into Phone (2a). Nothing has also maintained its commitment to plastic-free packaging and uses recycled fibers instead. The device itself also contains a number of recycled materials:
- 100% recycled aluminum for the middle frame
- 100% recycled tin on 6 circuit boards
- 100% recycled copper foil on the motherboard
- Recycled steel on 22 steel stampings
- Over 50% of the plastic parts come from sustainable production
