Nothing Phone (2a) Announced! What Are Its Specs? How's Its Performance?

Combining "human warmth" with innovative, meticulous engineering, Nothing draws inspiration for its product designs from both everyday life and the creative world. Delivering all of this through different depth layers in its transparent design, the brand makes use of both symmetrical and asymmetrical elements.

Setting itself apart from rivals with products built on this philosophy, London-based Nothing also stands out from price/performance-focused phones outside the flagship segment with the Phone (2a), launched in Türkiye with an Evofone warranty, redefining perceived value.

Speaking at the launch event held in Istanbul, Evofone Brands Group Director İrfan Öztürk said, "Nothing's product design philosophy stands out among devices whose designs increasingly look alike, practically creating a perception of 'Nothing and everyone else.' The Phone (2a) we're bringing to our country is the latest product of this philosophy, and we believe consumers will show interest in it too. The device, which we're launching in Milk and Black color options, starts at a price of 19,999 TL."

Nothing Phone (2a) Announced: The Nothing Phone (2a)'s "Eyes" Revealed

The latest model in Nothing's distinctive design philosophy, the Phone (2a), draws attention with its original design. By placing the cameras inside the NFC coil in the Phone (2a)'s design, Nothing has created a brand-new icon: the Eyes. Behind the Phone (2a)'s "Eyes" sits the intelligence hub that, much like a brain, powers the phone.

Nothing's designers also set an industry first with a one-piece cover that wraps around the phone's edges at a 90-degree angle, giving the Phone (2a) a whole new dimension and perspective. This design, which brings out the phone's aesthetics, also showed significant improvement in drop test results.

A more innovative and functional look with triple Glyph Interface lighting

Coming with new triple Glyph Interface lighting on its back, the Phone (2a) offers a more innovative and functional look. With a Glyph Interface featuring 26 independently controllable zones, Phone (2a) users can set custom lighting patterns for different contacts and apps.

Up to two days of use on a single charge

Delivering top-tier performance with optimum power efficiency thanks to its custom-developed Dimensity 7200 Pro processor built with MediaTek, the Phone (2a) offers up to two days of use on a single charge.

Built on TSMC's newest second-generation 4nm process technology, the Nothing Phone (2a)'s processor handles any task effortlessly with unmatched power efficiency and speed. Paired with RAM that expands up to 20 GB thanks to the new RAM Booster technology, this 8-core processor (clocked up to 2.8 GHz) guarantees fast, smooth multitasking all day long.

The Phone (2a)'s 5,000 mAh battery also retains more than 90 percent of its maximum capacity after 1,000 charge cycles, which corresponds to more than 3 years of daily charging.

Aiming to deliver the best of Android with Nothing's legacy

The Phone (2a) comes with Nothing OS 2.5, the software team's latest and biggest update yet. Developed with the goal of reducing distractions and encouraging mindful smartphone use, Nothing OS 2.5 combines a fast, smooth user experience with utility-focused, functional customizations. While the operating system prioritizes efficiency and the latest Android optimization features, the goal is to deliver the best experience to users while preserving Nothing's unique identity.

 Perfect picture, flawless experience

The Phone (2a) delivers a flawless smartphone experience with its 6.7-inch flexible AMOLED display, offering 1.07 billion colors and battery savings. Unlike traditional OLED displays, the Phone (2a) provides precise control over every pixel with its AM (Active Matrix) layer, delivering unrivaled image quality. AMOLED displays that control every pixel also stand out for lower power consumption. With a maximum brightness reaching up to 1,300 nits, the Phone (2a) delivers a flawless viewing experience even in sunny conditions.

The flexible AMOLED display offers symmetrical bezels as well as thinner, more durable, and more accurate colors compared to traditional displays. The screen refresh rate can rise up to 120 Hz for smooth interactions, while dropping to as low as 30 Hz to preserve battery life during video and photos. PWM dimming technology, operating up to 2160 Hz, creates different brightness levels to prevent eye strain. With 2.1 mm symmetrical bezels and a 91.65 percent screen-to-body ratio, the Phone (2a) also holds the title of the thinnest-bezel model in the lineup.

Strong shooting and video performance on both the rear and front cameras

Focused on simple yet high-quality results in its camera setup, the Nothing Phone (2a)'s dual 50 MP rear camera, powered by the TrueLens Engine, has an f/1.88 aperture and a 1/1.56" sensor size.

The Phone (2a)'s wide-angle camera allows for wide-area shots with a 114-degree field of view. EIS image stabilization, Advanced HDR, Night Mode, Motion Photo, Lens (filter), and AI Scene Detection are among the shooting modes found on the Phone (2a)'s wide-angle camera.

The Phone (2a)'s front camera, which supports HDR-enabled 1080p video at 30 FPS, has a 32 MP resolution and an ƒ/2.2 aperture, offering 27 percent more light sensitivity compared to the Phone (1).

4K video performance

Also delivering strong video performance for users, the Phone (2a) can record in 4K. Featuring live HDR at 30 or 60 FPS, the device offers Slow Motion (480 FPS), Night Mode Action Mode, OIS and EIS image stabilization, and Time-Lapse (4K).

Three years of Android update guarantee with Nothing OS 2.5

Introduced with Nothing OS 2.5, the Phone (2a) comes with the Android 14 operating system, unlike most devices in its segment. Phone (2a) users are also offered a segment-leading three years of software updates and four years of security updates.

The design is "cool" — and so is the device

Nothing used an advanced cooling system in the Phone (2a) that balances high performance with effective heat control. An extra-large 3,200 mm² vapor chamber transfers heat to the back of the device, enabling faster heat dissipation. A cryogenic frame made of 12,000 mm² of graphite was also used in the device to further speed up the cooling process. Chosen for its superior thermal conductivity, this material helps the device dissipate heat faster.

The lowest carbon footprint: a phone dedicated to sustainability

Combining technology with an environmentally conscious approach, Nothing has managed to produce its lowest-carbon-footprint smartphone yet with the Phone (2a). The Phone (2a) features:

• 100 percent recycled aluminum in its mid-frame,
• 100 percent recycled tin in 7 circuit boards,
• 100 percent recycled copper foil on the main circuit board, and
• recycled steel in 22 steel sheet metal parts.

In addition, more than 50 percent of the remaining plastic parts are sourced from sustainable materials.

The 128 GB model's retail price is 19,999 TL

The Milk and Black color models of the Nothing Phone (2a), launched in Türkiye with an Evofone warranty, will go on sale on Tuesday, March 12 at Evofone.com and all authorized tech retailers. The Phone (2a)'s 8+128 GB model starts at 19,999 TL, while the 12+256 GB model starts at 21,999 TL.
