In fact, it embodies the first-ever internal smartphone design concept that was created all the way back in 2020, a few months after Nothing launched. With Phone (2a), by placing the cameras inside the NFC coil, Nothing has created a new product icon: the eyes. Behind these is the hub of intelligence that powers the phone, much like a brain. Phone (2a) features an industry-first with its 90° angle unibody cover wrapping around the edges to create a new dimension and perspective to Nothing’s design, while seamlessly integrating the dual camera module. Not only is this structure aesthetically pleasing, it makes the device sturdier, with a notable improvement on drop test results. Adding to the cohesion between form and function, the unique camera ‘bump’ also plays a role in stabilising the phone when it's lying flat on a surface as well as helping minimise finger obstructions when taking a picture. What’s new with Nothing OS in Nothing Phone (2a)? Phone (2a) enters the market with Nothing OS 2.5.

How is Phone (2a) focussed on Sustainability? Phone (2a) delivers Nothing’s lowest carbon footprint in a smartphone. At 52 kg, it’s 12.5% lower than that of Phone (1). With sustainability goals in mind, Nothing has developed a brand-new recycling process in Nothing’s manufacturing plant, which allows for plastic waste from the Ear (2) production line to be repurposed into Phone (2a).
