NothingPhone (2a) Smartphone, Android, 12GB RAM, 6.7", 5G, SIM Free, 256GB, White

Purposefully designed from the inside out, Phone (2a) brings you new ways to interact with a smartphone. Allowing you to feel more present and focused when it matters most. After the radically imaginative design of Phones (1) and (2) sent shockwaves through the smartphone market, Nothing are back to improve, enhance and improve further. They’ve added a larger battery, developed the seamless Nothing OS 2.5 operating system, and introduced a lower price point than the Nothing Phone (2). They’re changing the game again, like nothing else.

Glyph interface
For a world craving less screen time, Nothing have created the Glyph Interface. Assign different light and sound sequences for each of your contacts and notification types and be one step ahead of who’s getting in touch. Refer to individual Glyph segments for key information and progress tracking. Use the lights as a countdown timer, a music display as lights dance to the beat, a volume checker and your very own portable ring light. And you can create your very own Glyph ringtones.

Premium design
From hardware to software, Phone (2a) is designed to deliver a premium experience. Featuring an industry first: the 90° infinity back cover. This adds a dynamic new dimension to the iconic transparent design whilst enforcing the structural rigidity and overall durability of the phone. And, with the custom Dimensity 7200 Pro processor co-engineered with MediaTek, Phone (2a) delivers better performance with optimal power consumption.

Nothing OS 2.5
With an emphasis on utility and functional customisation, Nothing OS 2.5 allows interactions with your smartphone to be more personalised and intuitive. Powered by Android 14, it’s powerfully efficient but refreshingly simple. They’ve added even more Nothing-designed widgets with swipeable views and animations for a higher level of information and interaction. Customise everything from app labels and grid design to icons and colour themes. It’s your phone, your way, for a faster, more intuitive experience.

Great shots, everytime
Phone (2a) effortlessly captures real life as it’s happening. The 32MP front sensor is bigger and better (than Phone (1)), and now Portrait Optimiser helps you get the perfect group shot by detecting faces and upping the resolution even if a subject is far away.

Night Mode reduces noise and delivers clear-as-day shots at any hour, while Motion Capture makes action shots a walk in the park by adjusting the shutter speed and combining multiple frames for blur-free shots.

Create moving masterpieces in 4k on the 50MP main rear camera. For high-action scenes, turn on Action Mode and it works alongside in-built dual stabilisation for sensationally smooth results when you’re on the move. While the ultra-wide secondary rear camera helps you see the bigger picture.

Beautiful, energy efficient display
Ready for vibrant colours and deep contrasts, the Phone (2a) has a 6.7” AMOLED display with 1300 nit peak brightness. And it can intuitively adapt its 120Hz refresh rate to preserve power when you're not on your phone. It’s a killer display that doesn’t murder battery life.

A battery that keeps going
With a 5,000 mAh battery, the Phone (2a) gains a day’s power in just 20 minutes of charging. At full charge, it lasts for up to two days straight with improved longevity of over 25%.

5G capability
The Nothing Phone’s future-proofed 5G modem will enable you to still use 4G, however depending on your network provider, you'll experience incredible speeds and better quality streaming video, along with more reliable network connections when you're in crowded places - especially during peak times.

What is SIM free?
You'll receive an unlocked device, so there’s no requirement to commit to any network, leaving you free to decide which SIM card/network to use. This gives you the opportunity to find the most suitable plan, whether that’s contract or pay-as-you-go, throughout the lifetime of the phone.

Top tip: as this mobile phone is supplied SIM-free and unlocked, you have access to SIM-only deals – these usually offer far better value for money – especially for all-important data plans.

You also have the option to add a foreign SIM card, so you can use this device overseas for less as well.

Additional information: manufacturers often update their Operating System (OS) software over the course of a device’s lifespan – this means that your product might ship with a more advanced OS than specified.
