With the Nothing Phone (2), Carl Pei’s company has stepped on the accelerator compared to its predecessor in all important areas: differential and quality design, larger screen and larger chip, a winning combination in terms of improving user experience. However, the cost continued to take its toll on one of the most different phones on the market. The brand therefore intends to follow a strategy similar to that of Google and this 2024 there is a very interesting launch on the horizon: the Nothing Phone 2a, a novelty in terms of quality and price of which rumors are already circulating on its SoC and now they have been confirmed and revealed to be leaked screen and camera specs that aim high
More details on the screen and camera
We had already heard that the Nothing Phone 2a would supposedly rise a 6.7-inch panel with a refresh rate of 120 Hz just like the Phone (2), but those published in recent hours in SmartPrix make it more precise: it will be AMOLED type, it will be manufactured by Visionox and BOE and it will have a resolution of 1084 × 2412 pixels
As for its cameras, we already knew that the Phone 2a would have a dual rear configuration, but This new leak gives a lot of details. Thus, it will have a Samsung S5KGM9 main lens of 1/1.5″ and 50MP with a pixel size of 1.0μm and for ultra-wide, a Samsung S5KJN1 sensor also of 50MP, 1/2 .76″ and 0.6μm. If the wide-angle specs look familiar, that’s because they’re precisely what Nothing used in its Phone (1) and Phone (2). On the front, an old, well-known Sony IMX615 32MP sensor, quite common among the mid-range and premium.
Taking into account the theoretical specifications of its lenses, it is clear that Nothing wants to make a difference in quality and price since on paper it does not have much to envy of its last version, which we said in our analysis that even if his camera had improved, it hasn’t. It was the best at less than 700 dollars. However, there will also be sacrifices: The Phone 2a’s main camera would be left without OIS, a key feature that could impact its performance in low-light images.
As a compilation, the main rumors that have taken place about the Nothing Phone 2a also indicate that under the hood and at the controls would be MediaTek’s Dimensity 7200 accompanied by 8 GB of RAM, 128 GB of storage and supposedly Android 14 and NothingOS 2.5. As for the design, it would retain its emblematic lights, but with a renewed and more discreet rear design with reduced Glyph lights. All these changes would impact the price, which according to leaks They aim not to exceed the $400 mark.
This upcoming Nothing Phone 2a is proposed to be marketed in black and white colors like the models without ‘a’ and its launch strategy would cover India, Japan, Europe and the world. In any case and whatever the leaks, we will have to wait for their presentation to confirm them: the Nothing event on February 27 at Mobile World Congress 2024 in Barcelona.
