Get ready, tech fans!
Nothing, the company started by former OnePlus leader Carl Pei, is about to launch a new phone.
It’s called the Nothing Phone 2a Plus, and it’s coming soon to many countries, including India.
Let’s take a look at what we know so far.
What’s Different from the Phone 2a?
The Phone 2a Plus isn’t a completely new phone. Instead, it’s an upgraded version of the Nothing Phone 2a that came out earlier this year. Here are the main changes:
- Better Selfie Camera: The new phone will have a 50-megapixel front camera. That’s a big jump from the 32MP camera on the regular Phone 2a.
- Faster Charging: While the battery size stays the same at 5,000mAh, the new phone can charge a bit faster. It will support 50W charging, up from 45W on the Phone 2a.
- More Memory: You’ll be able to get the Phone 2a Plus with up to 12GB of RAM, which should help it run smoothly even when doing tough tasks.
What Stays the Same?
Many features from the Phone 2a will carry over to the Plus version:
- The main cameras on the back (two 50-megapixel cameras) won’t change.
- It will have the same 6.7-inch AMOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate.
- The fingerprint sensor will still be under the display.
- It will still have NFC for contactless payments.
Under the Hood
Nothing has confirmed that the Phone 2a Plus will use a MediaTek Dimensity 7350 chip.
This should give it plenty of power for everyday use and more.
You’ll be able to choose between Black and Grey colors.
For storage, you can pick either 8GB of RAM with 256GB of storage, or 12GB of RAM with 256GB of storage.
The Nothing Phone 2a Plus is set to launch on July 31st.
We’ll know all the final details and prices then.
This new phone looks like a nice upgrade for those who want a bit more from the Nothing Phone 2a.
With its improved selfie camera and faster charging, it could be a great choice for many smartphone users.
Stay tuned for more information as we get closer to the launch date!
