Carl Pei, co-founder of the successful OnePlus ecosystem, has been making waves with his Nothing line of mobile devices, which includes true wireless Bluetooth earbuds and two high-end phones. Up next is the mid-range Nothing (2a), and Android app developer Dylan Roussel recently shared an image from Nothing that reveals the back of the phone.
The image showcases the Glyph lighting interface, although it’s not the final design. Interestingly, the two camera lenses are located right in the middle of the Glyph interface, with two lighting elements on the left side and one additional lighting element to the right. The phone’s model number is 142, and it has codenames consisting of Pacman/Aero(dactyl?). According to Roussel, the Nothing Phone (2a) will be powered by a MediaTek chipset – the Dimensity 7200, and it is set to be unveiled at MWC on February 27th.
Rumored specs for the Nothing (2a) include a 6.7-inch AMOLED display, and with the high-end Nothing Phone (2) priced at $599 for the 256GB variant, powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 with 12GB of RAM, it’s likely that the Nothing Phone (2a) will come in at a sub-$500 price, making it an attractive mid-range option.
While Nothing continues to expand its ecosystem, Carl Pei had previously teased a three-in-one charger called the Nothing Power (1), which offered wireless charging at 65W, in addition to functioning as a power bank. However, the project was scrapped as it didn’t meet the company’s standards. Nevertheless, there’s no reason to believe that the Nothing Phone (2a) won’t live up to the company’s high expectations.
