Nothing is getting ready for the much-anticipated launch of its Nothing Phone (2a) on March 5th, and CEO Carl Pei is building up the excitement with a series of teasers. In a typical fashion, Pei took to social media today to dispel popular rumors about the phone’s chipset.

For weeks, industry speculation has been pointing towards the MediaTek Dimensity 7200 SoC powering the Nothing Phone (2a). However, Pei’s post puts those rumors to rest. So, what will the mysterious chipset be? We won’t have to wait long to find out as the company previously announced that it will officially reveal the answer tomorrow at 10 am London time. That’s 5 am EST for those of us on the United States’ East coast and 2 am on the West coast.

With the Dimensity 7200 out of contention, new rumors are quickly spreading with some suggesting a customized MediaTek chip like the “Dimensity 7200 Ultra.” This is a trend observed in certain smartphone brands looking to give their devices a touch of exclusivity. Whether Nothing will follow suit remains to be seen. Another option that has been floated is the Snapdragon 7 Plus Gen 2.

Apart from the chipset mystery, rumors about the Nothing Phone (2a) also suggest it will include:
– A 6.7-inch FHD+ 120Hz AMOLED display
– 8/12GB of RAM
– 128/256GB of storage
– A dual rear camera system with two 50MP sensors (main and ultrawide)
– Support for 45W charging

Pricing is another point of interest, with leaks suggesting a price tag of €349 (~$375) for the base model and €399 (~$428) for higher storage capacity options. These prices would position the Phone (2a) as an attractive mid-range offering.

We will be staying tuned to Nothing and Carl Pei’s social media for the chipset reveal tomorrow. However, we can all look forward to the official reveal of the device taking place on March 5th.
