The Nothing Phone (2a) launched last week and wasted no time making a dent in the smartphone market. On its first day of sales (March 12th), CEO Carl Pei revealed the company sold a whopping 100,000 units, with a staggering 60,000 moving in the first hour alone.

This mid-range phone positions itself as a more affordable alternative to the Phone (2), but it doesn’t skimp on features. It borrows some key specs from its pricier sibling, including a large 6.7-inch OLED display and a dual 50MP rear camera system. The phone also retains the signature Glyph design on the back.

One interesting detail is Nothing’s custom-made Dimensity 7200 Pro processor. While the company claims it offers 10% more efficiency, real-world performance is likely similar to the standard Dimensity 7200 or 7200 Ultra – all three use the same 4nm manufacturing process.

Let’s dive into the specs:

  • Display: 6.7-inch OLED display with FHD+ resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, 1,300 nits peak brightness, HDR10 support
  • Cameras: Dual rear camera system (50MP main with OIS + 50MP ultra-wide-angle), 32MP front-facing camera
  • Processor: MediaTek Dimensity 7200 Pro
  • RAM: Up to 12GB
  • Storage: Up to 256GB
  • Battery: 5,000mAh with 45W fast charging
  • Software: Nothing OS 2.5 based on Android 14 (guaranteed 3 years of OS updates and 4 years of security patches)
  • Colors: Black and White

The device is available for €329 in Continental Europe, £319 in the UK, and ₹23,999 in India. For US residents, a developer program currently offers the phone at $349, with broader availability promised soon.
