TL;DR
- Nothing has released official renders of the Nothing Phone 2a.
- The renders reveal a dramatically redesigned back compared to other phones from the company.
- The Phone 2a still has the Glyph lighting setup the company’s phones are known for.
After all the leaked Phone 2a renders from the past, we’re finally getting official renders from the source. The newly released images confirm the design of the upcoming handset.
Today, Nothing published official renders of the Phone 2a on its community forum. These renders show off the device in two colorways: Black and White.
The first thing you’ll likely notice from these images is the drastically redesigned back. While the smartphone maintains its transparent back panel and Glyph lighting setup up, it switches things up a bit.
First and foremost is the location of the rear cameras, which are no longer vertically aligned. They now sit side-by-side in the top center of the handset. Rumors have said that both cameras would be 50MP.
Accompanying those cameras are the Glyphs, which surround the cameras in a circular pattern. Unlike other Nothing Phones where the Glyphs extend through the entire back, these Glyphs are restricted to the top end. Some earlier leaks suggested the Glyphs wouldn’t be included in this budget phone, but those renders were incorrect.
We also get a good look at the flat sides and the flat display with a center-aligned punch-hole cutout. The volume keys can be found on the left-hand edge, while the power button sits on the right-hand edge.
It’s believed that this device could launch with a Dimensity 7200 Pro chip. Nothing plans on launching the Phone 2a globally on March 5, 2024.
