So, Nothing, the cool cats with two flagship smartphones already strutting their stuff (check out our Nothing Phone 2 review for the full scoop), might just be gearing up for a mid-range masterpiece. Yeah, you heard it here first!
Now, the rumor mill, courtesy of the inside track from Sanju Choudhary (props to Android Authority), spills the beans that a Nothing Phone 2a is on the horizon. Picture this: a 6.7-inch AMOLED screen taking center stage, complete with a slick punch hole dead center at the top. Exciting stuff, right? Details beyond that are a bit hush-hush, but hey, there’s a fuzzy picture to keep us all buzzing. And hold onto your hats because Abhishek Yadav (shoutout to Notebookcheck) dropped the bomb that a Nothing phone has been doing the rounds with regulators in India. If that’s the case, we might be in for a launch pretty darn soon.
Now, the big question: How budget-friendly are we talking? Brace yourselves because the Nothing Phone 2 is already tagged at $599 / £579 / AU$1,049. So, logically, we’re expecting the Nothing Phone 2a to swoop in and undercut that, giving us a sweet deal.
And here’s the twist – potential face-off with the Google Pixel 8a, rumored to hit the stage mid-next year (just a heads up, the Pixel 7a made its debut in May 2023). Nothing loves a good bargain, showing off its budget-friendly gadgets with the CMF branding for earbuds and a smartwatch. But the word on the street is that the Nothing Phone 2a might skip the CMF label.
