Highlights

  • Exclusive new colour variant of the Nothing Phone 2a teased for India.
  • Reveal set for 29th April at 12 PM on Flipkart.
  • Current models available in black, white, and select markets have a “milk” option.
  • Community-designed “Phosphorescence” concept could influence future special editions.

Nothing has started teasing a “new edition” of the Phone 2a aimed specifically at the Indian market.

More details on this new Phone 2a edition will be revealed on 29th April at 12PM, according to a Flipkart listing.

Nothing Phone 2a: Current Pricing and Colours

Currently, the Phone 2a is sold in India in just black and white colours. However, in select countries, a third “milk” option is also available.

Nothing is also running a contest allowing its community to design a special Phone 2a edition due for release later this year.

The winners of the first stage hardware design contest have been announced, with Kenta and Astrid’s “Phosphorescence” concept beating over 400 entries.

The architectural duo now has a chance to collaborate closely with Nothing’s design and R&D teams to create a Phone 2a Community Edition.

The final product’s wallpapers, packaging, and marketing will also be chosen from community ideas through separate contests in May, June, and July respectively.

Reveal set for 29th April at 12 PM on Flipkart

At a starting price of Rs 19,999, the Phone 2a is Nothing’s most affordable smartphone yet.

Despite its affordability, it delivers a compelling package with a unique design, distinct software experience, great cameras and impressive battery life.

While raw performance lags behind rivals like the OnePlus Nord CE 4, Nothing scores high on overall value.

With moves like this new India-specific edition, Nothing is clearly aiming to maximise the Phone 2a’s potential as one of the best value phones before unveiling its flagship Phone 3 model.

Stay tuned for more updates.
