The Nothing Phone (2a) is rumored to be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7200 chipset, built on a 4nm process and expected to provide extraordinary performance. It incorporates two Cortex A715 cores at 2.8GHz, six Cortex A510 cores at 2.0GHz, and a Mali-G610 MP4 GPU.
Other leaked details suggest the (2a) will feature a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. On the camera front, it will sport a 16MP selfie camera with f/2.0 aperture housed in the punch hole on the display. In contrast, the dual rear cameras are expected to feature a 50MP primary lens with OIS (optical image stabilization) and an 8MP ultrawide lens.
Further, the rear cameras will be surrounded by three Glyph LED light strips, a signature setup borrowed from the Nothing Phone (1) and Nothing Phone (2) smartphones. Besides these features, the smartphone will also sport a massive 4,920mAh battery and run Nothing OS 2.5, based on Android 14, out of the box.
Launch Details
Nothing Phone (2a) is expected to officially launch at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2024 event, following the company’s confirmation that it is hosting a ‘Nothing to see’ event in Barcelona on February 27th.
