Nothing Levels Up With Phone (2a) Plus
Elevated Performance with MediaTek 7350 Pro 5G Processor
At the heart of the Nothing Phone (2a) Plus lies the world-exclusive MediaTek 7350 Pro 5G processor. This advanced chipset, paired with cutting-edge TSMC 4 nm Gen 2 technology, ensures a smoother and faster user experience. With an 8-core CPU running up to 3.0 GHz and an ARM Mali-G610 MC4 GPU clocking at 1.3 GHz, the Phone (2a) Plus offers nearly 10% faster CPU performance and 30% faster gaming performance compared to its predecessor.
Carl Pei, CEO of Nothing, stated, “Following the success of Phone (2a), which was a breath of fresh air in its market segment and became our best-selling smartphone, we’re thrilled to introduce the Phone (2a) Plus. This upgraded variant features a world-exclusive processor, an improved front camera, and a new metallic design. With Phone (3) launching in 2025, Phone (2a) Plus is for those who are excited about Phone (2a) but are seeking even higher performance.”
Superstar Selfies with a 50 MP Front Camera
The Nothing Phone (2a) Plus redefines smartphone photography with its new 50 MP front camera sensor, perfect for capturing superstar selfies and high-quality video calls. The triple 50 MP camera system includes a main sensor with an f/1.88 lens, an ultra-wide sensor with a 114º field of view, and the new front camera. All three sensors support direct 50 MP photo output, HDR photo capture, and 4K video recording, ensuring every shot is vivid and detailed.
Sleek Metallic Design
Design-wise, the Phone (2a) Plus introduces two stunning new colors: metallic Grey and updated Black. The metallic finish offers a premium expression of Nothing’s design language, reminiscent of sleek machinery. This design evolution, inherited from Phone (2a), integrates components into the phone’s exterior, creating an anthropomorphic appearance with the camera and NFC coil representing eyes and a brain-like hub of intelligence.
Powerful Battery and Fast Charging
For users on the go, the Phone (2a) Plus features a robust 5,000 mAh battery, offering up to two days of use on a full charge. It also supports rapid 50W Fast Charging, replenishing a day’s power in under 20 minutes—nearly 10% faster than the Phone (2a).
Stunning Display and Glyph Interface
The Phone (2a) Plus boasts a flexible FHD+ 6.7” AMOLED display with precise color reproduction of 1.07 billion colors and a peak brightness of 1300 nits. The 120 Hz adaptive refresh rate ensures smooth interactions, while the 240 Hz touch sampling rate offers instant responsiveness. The iconic Glyph Interface remains, encouraging users to rely on light and sound patterns for key information, enhancing the phone’s sleek metallic aesthetic.
Advanced Nothing OS and AI Integration
Running on Nothing OS 2.6, the Phone (2a) Plus expands its library with functional widgets for mindful interactions. The new News Reporter Widget, leveraging AI technology, provides a daily digest of news read aloud by Nothing CFO Tim Holbrow. Additionally, Phone (2a) Plus comes with Android 14 out of the box, guaranteeing three years of software updates and four years of security updates.

The innovative use of plastic waste from the Ear (2) production line further underscores Nothing’s commitment to environmental responsibility.
In summary, the Nothing Phone (2a) Plus is a significant upgrade from its predecessor, offering enhanced performance, superior camera capabilities, and a sleek new design.
