The Phone (2a) continues with Nothing's unique Glyph lightbar design concept, which originated in 2020 when Nothing was just a few months old.
Central to the design is a dual-camera system housed within the NFC coil, referred to by Nothing as the "eyes." The phone's back panel wraps around the edges at a 90-degree angle, enhancing its durability against drops.
In terms of performance, the Nothing Phone (2a) is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7200 Pro chipset, featuring a large-area thermal plate, with options for 8GB/12GB of RAM and 128GB/256GB of storage space.

In terms of imaging, the device is equipped with a rear camera setup consisting of a "50MP GN9 OIS main camera + 50MP JN1 ultra-wide-angle lens," along with a 32MP IMX615 front-facing camera. It features TrueLens Engine imaging technology, which supports "smooth video capture, night mode, high dynamic range photos, and selfie editing," claiming to capture accurate highlights and nighttime details.
Furthermore, the Nothing Phone (2a) boasts a battery capacity of 5000mAh, with a maximum charging power of 45W. It can charge up to 50% in just 23 minutes and reach full charge in 59 minutes. Nothing claims that even after 1000 charging cycles or over three years of daily use, the battery will still retain 90% of its capacity.
