Nothing is ready to reveal the latest Nothing Phone 2a.
As shared by the company, it will reveal the phone on March 5th, as part of a limited rollout.
The limited rollout will happen in the U.S. as a “developer program,” according to Engadget.
The program seems similar to how the company tested the Nothing Phone (1) in a closed beta in the U.S. before bringing the Phone (2) to North America. In a statement given to MobileSyrup, has confirmed that the Developer Program for Phone 2a is limited to U.S. participants. It is currently unclear if and when the device will come to Canada.
From what we know so far, the device is likely to be a cheaper alternative to the Nothing Phone (2), similar to Samsung’s FE line, or OnePlus’ ‘R’ line.
Rumours have indicated that the upcoming device will retail for under €400 (around $580 CAD) in Europe. It will likely be available in an 8GB/128GB variant and a 12GB/256GB model. In comparison, the Nothing Phone 2 starts at $929 in Canada.
Leaked renders also suggest that the device will have a glyph-less design, which will make the Nothing Phone 2a the company’s first smartphone to go glyph-less. Read more about the leaked render below.
