It’s almost certain now that Nothing is working on a more budget-friendly device, the Phone (2a), to complement the Phone (2). Just yesterday, we covered a leak revealing the possible design of the phone. Now, thanks to tipster Yogesh Brar, we have details about the specifications and a likely price range for the upcoming Nothing Phone (2a).

The tipster shared an image of a PVT or Production Validation Unit of the phone that shows it from both the front and back. And if the tipster is to be believed, the Phone 2a will feature a 120Hz OLED display, with the device’s About Phone page indicating a screen size of 6.7 inches.

It will be powered by the Dimensity 7200 chipset, paired with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. However, there might be other memory options available at the time of the device’s launch.

The back of the phone houses two 50MP camera sensors — one of them, of course, is a primary lens and the other possibly is an ultrawide lens. The Phone (2) also has a similar camera configuration with a 50MP primary and a 50MP ultrawide lens. The front camera is expected to be 16MP.

On the software side, the Phone (2a) will run on Nothing OS 2.5 based on Android 14. The company has recently started rolling out Nothing OS 2.5 to Phone (2) users.

We’ve already seen a sketch of the Phone (2a) that shows a distinct design compared to its bigger sibling. This move by the brand is likely to create a difference between its premium and more affordable offerings.

The Phone (2a) is expected to have fewer Glyph interface elements on the back compared to the Phone (2). However, the tipster suggests that Glyph controls will remain similar to the Phone (2). This means that we can expect the LED light will likely support app notifications and integrations.

In addition, the leak hints at a possible launch for the Phone (2a) at the Mobile World Congress (MWC). Nothing has an event scheduled for February 27, so this could be the launch date for the phone. The expected price tag for the Nothing Phone (2a) is around $400.
