Rumors are swirling around the potential release of the Nothing Phone 2a, the anticipated successor to the Nothing Phone 2, with leaked details shedding light on its possible specifications and design.
While the company is yet to officially confirm the existence of this phone, leaks and insider information have provided insights into when the Nothing Phone 2a could launch and what could be a more budget-friendly iteration of the existing Nothing Phone 2. The pricing of the upcoming Nothing phone has also been tipped. Here is what we know about it based on the leaks.
Nothing Phone 2a launch timeline and price tipped
Tipster Yogesh Brar has claimed on X (formerly Twitter) that the Nothing Phone 2a will make its debut at the 2024 Mobile World Congress (MWC) in February. Brar further claims that the device might cost $400, which is approximately Rs 33,200 when converted to Indian currency.
Nothing Phone 2a images, specs leak
The cited source has also shared images of a Production Validation Test (PVT) unit, that showcases a redesigned back panel. For those unfamiliar, PVT units are typically manufactured in limited quantities during the production process to evaluate functionalities, hardware components, and adherence to quality standards.
As for the design, the leaked images showcase the typical punch-hole notch display on the front of the purported Nothing Phone 2a. In contrast, the back panel seemingly has a novel design element with a horizontally placed camera module at the top center, deviating from the established design observed in previous iterations of Nothing smartphones.
Complementing the overhauled back panel, the tipster claims that we could get to see a redesigned Glyph Interface for the Nothing Phone 2a. This revamped interface is expected to provide Glyph controls akin to those featured in the Nothing Phone (2).
The upcoming Nothing Phone 2a is said to offer an OLED screen with 120Hz refresh rate support, something that we see in many mid-range phones in India. A previous leak suggested that the device could sport a 6.7-inch panel. Under the hood, we could see a MediaTek Dimensity 7200 SoC if the leaks are to be believed.

It could be backed by the typical 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage option. Nothing is expected to offer the latest Android 14 OS with the new Phone 2a smartphone. The back camera system is tipped to include two sensors with one of them being a 50-megapixel camera.
