We just got a new smartphone from Nothing, one of the most interesting brands in the industry today. The Nothing Phone 2a showcases the company’s interesting design language with an interesting specs to back it up.

The design of the Nothing Phone 2a is both attractive and clever. The main highlight on the back is the dual 50-megapixel cameras that the company aptly calls “the eyes”. It is surrounded by the NFC coil, as seen from the transparent rear panel.

Of course, we have Nothing’s signature Glyph interface via the 26 addressable lighting zones at the back. It lights up whenever you receive notifications, using the Glyph Timer, Torch, and the Glyph Progress.

Nothing has also made the rear panel wrapped around the edges of the device in a 90-degree angle for better drop resistance.

Enough of the design, let’s talk about the hardware. The said cameras consists of a 50-megapixel 1/1.56-inch sensor with optical image stabilization and a 50-megapixel 1/2.76-inch ultra-wide. Would’ve been nice if the ultra-wide had autofocus for macro shots.

A sharp 32-megapixel selfie camera is on the front, sitting on top of the 6.78-inch AMOLED screen with 10-bit colors, peak 1300 nits of brightness and a 30-120Hz adaptive refresh rate.

Under the hood, it is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 7200 Pro chipset that Nothing co-engineered with the semicon company. It is made of the latest TSMC 4nm process with clock speeds of 2.8GHz.

Keeping the lights on is the standard 5,000mAh battery and can be fully charged by the included 45W adapter for under an hour. It may not have the fastest charging speeds, but Nothing claims that the battery can retain 90% of its capacity even after 1,000 charging cycles. That’s about 3 years of daily use.
