Nothing Phone (2a) Targets Budget Market with €400 Price, Midrange Features

Nothing is clearly in the process of being developed, as multiple earlier leaks have revealed, for a low-cost device called the Phone (2a). This phone will be an offshoot of the Nothing Phone (2), much like the Samsung Galaxy S23, which has a less expensive FE equivalent.

Nothing Phone (2a) To Cost Approximately Half the Price of Phone (2)

Recent leaks via Roland Quandt on Twitter/X reveal some fresh details about the phone, which is reported to be powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 7200 SoC. According to a new leak, the base variant of the Nothing Phone (2a) will cost less than €400 in Europe.

The post also mentions that each model would have its own memory setup. The Phone (2a) will have 8GB of RAM and 128GB of memory, while the more costly model - which will most likely cost more than €400 - will have 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. With little else to go on, the latter model appears promising.

There is no pricing information for the US release. A price of €400 is roughly $444, which seems reasonable for an entry-level gadget like the Nothing Phone (2a). A higher price tag of $500 would also be reasonable for a phone with 12GB of RAM. The Nothing Phone (2) was priced at $599, which is double the stated price of the Phone (2a).

Nothing Phone (2a) Comes With Midrange Specs and FHD+ Display

Previous rumors have mentioned the Nothing Phone (2a)'s two 50MP cameras, as well as its 1080p AMOLED display. The screen will most likely be 6.7 inches in size. The cheaper price will come with some stipulations, which are already beginning to emerge, as per 9to5Google.

The device's midrange chip, less-than-premium cameras, and FHD+ panel suggest that it will perform similarly to other inexpensive phones on the market, but only time will tell. The Nothing Phone (2a) is expected to be unveiled at MWC in February.
