Nothing just launched the Nothing Phone (2a) Plus, the company’s fourth Nothing smartphone, an enhanced version of the Phone (2a) as it had promised. The phone retains the 6.7-inch FHD+ 120Hz OLED screen with up to 1300 nits peak brightness.
However, this is powered by faster MediaTek Dimensity 7350 Pro SoC that offers up to 3GHz clock speed, compared to 2.8GHz in the 7200, making it 10% faster, and this also has a faster Mali-G610 MC4 GPU clocked up to 1.3 GHz, which is 30% faster than the GPU in the 7200 Pro that is clocked at up to 1GHz. It promises 8.05 lakh+ AnTuTu scores.
The Phone (2a) Plus has an advanced liquid cooling system that includes a large 3,200 mm² vapour chamber for faster heat dissipation and 12,000 mm² large cooling area, said the company.
This has a new 50MP front camera with support for 4K video recording compared to 32MP in the Phone (2a), while retaining the dual 50MP sensors for the main camera and the ultra-wide camera.
It runs Android 14-based Nothing OS 2.6 with more functional widgets for mindful interactions on the home and lock screens with swipeable views and animations. The News Reporter Widget uses AI to aggregate daily news in a simple and intuitive format and read aloud by Nothing CFO Tim Holbrow. This is available on all Nothing smartphones through the Nothing Widgets app.
The phone offers a metallic finish on the back that uses an innovative fusion of nano-coating, multi-layer printing techniques, proprietary ink formulations, and carefully chosen coating materials. A process which required intricate texturing and extensive technical analysis. An exclusive shine, perfected after over 20 manufacturing methods and numerous sampling rounds, said Nothing.
It retains LEDs for the glyph on the back with 3 separations, and 26 addressable LED lighting zones. The phone retains the huge, 5000mAh battery, but has support for 50W PD charging, compared to 45W in the Phone (2a), which promises a day’s power in 20 minutes of charge.
The phone can maintain over 90% of its maximum capacity after 1,000 charging cycles, corresponding to over 3 years of daily charging, says the company.
