Exciting news for tech enthusiasts! Nothing recently launched the Nothing Phone 2a, a budget-friendly option that garnered attention. But hold onto your seats because there are whispers of a Nothing Phone 2a Plus on the horizon.

The speculation began when Nothing shared an image of Pokemon Mega Aerodactyl on X, followed by a simple plus sign. While this may seem mysterious at first glance, it’s actually a clever hint at what’s to come – the Nothing Phone 2a Plus.

Here’s the scoop: Nothing assigns Pokemon creatures as codenames for its devices, with the Phone 2a being dubbed Aerodactyl. In the Pokemon universe, Mega Aerodactyl represents an evolved form of Aerodactyl. It’s safe to assume that we can expect an upgraded version of the 2a phone – hence, the Nothing Phone 2a Plus.

To add fuel to the fire, Indian carrier Jio has listed a Nothing Phone 2a Plus in its database, further solidifying these rumors.

While details on specs remain scarce for now, there’s reason to believe that the Nothing Phone 2a Plus will offer enhanced performance compared to its predecessor. Despite sporting a generous display size of 6.7 inches, it’s unlikely that the ‘Plus’ moniker refers solely to a larger screen.

Fingers crossed that the 2a Plus will hit US markets soon. The current 2a model is available in limited capacity in the US as part of a preview program but lacks broad network support. With teasers already circulating, we can anticipate more announcements in the near future.

As someone invested in tech competition within the budget and mid-range segments, I’m eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Nothing Phone 2a Plus. It would be fantastic for US consumers seeking an affordable yet stylish smartphone with solid functionality.

Stay tuned for updates on this exciting development!
