Nothing Phone (2a) name has just been confirmed

The Nothing Phone (2a) has been popping up for quite some time now, and its name has just been confirmed. The phone surfaced on the TDRA certification website, and its name was flat-out mentioned.

The Nothing Phone (2a) is expected to be a more budget-oriented offering from the company. Nothing released two smartphones thus far, the Nothing Phone in 2022, and the Nothing Phone 2 last year. This will be the third one.

The Nothing Phone (2a) name gets confirmed thanks to a certification listing

This handset has a model number ‘A142’, based on the listing shown below. You will also see its name mentioned there. This also seems to be a global variant of the phone, and the launch event could not be far away at this point.

If we had to guess, we’d say that the Nothing Phone (2a) will launch at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2024. That tradeshow will take place towards the end of next month. It’s officially starting on February 26, but many companies will hold their press conferences prior to that date.

This phone will have a somewhat different design (compared to its siblings)

Based on a design that surfaced last month, the Nothing Phone (2a) will look a bit different from its siblings. It will include three GLYPH lights around the circular camera model. Inside that module, however, you’ll find two cameras.

We’re still not sure what specs will be included, but the MediaTek Dimensity 7200 SoC is rumored. A 120Hz AMOLED display is also expected, and the same goes for a 50-megapixel main camera. The phone will likely include main (wide) and secondary (ultrawide) cameras on the back.

Android 14 will almost certainly come pre-installed on the phone, along with Nothing OS on top of it. The phone could start at 8GB of RAM, but a 12GB RAM variant is expected. Nothing will likely launch black and white variants of the phone only, but we’ll see, the company could surprise us.
