After launching the Nothing Phone (1) and Phone (2), the company appeared to have shifted its focus towards audio products, going by recent rumours. However, X (formerly Twitter) a tipster has shared that the brand is working on a new mid-range phone, dubbed the Nothing Phone 2a. The user has shared the model number, moniker, and design, besides tipping a few of the phone’s specifications.

Nothing Phone 2a would be in the works

• According to a post on X by tipster Sanju Choudhary, the next phone from Nothing will be dubbed Nothing Phone 2a.
• The handset is tipped to bear the model number AIN142.
• However, this is not new information since the moniker and model number was confirmed on the IMEI database back in August.
• The post also includes a possible design of the phone, showing the rear design. We see a familiar LED strip on the back panel and a transparent design.
• The Nothing Phone 2a appears to have a boxy chassis with rounded edges and the strip light design is similar to the Nothing Phone (1).
• The user says the final design could be slightly different.
• The X user claims the phone would sport a 6.7-inch AMOLED display and a punch-hole cutout for the selfie shooter.
• The handset could come with dual camera sensors on the back panel, which could be made of glass.
• The Nothing Phone 2a going by the name will be slightly cheaper than the Nothing Phone 2 and will be placed above the Nothing Phone 1.
