Exclusive: New Design Renders of Nothing Phone 2 Unveiled; Processor Specifications Confirmed

Leaked Details Hint at Pill-Shaped Dual Camera Setup for Nothing Phone 2

Ahead of its highly anticipated launch in India on March 5, fresh leaks have surfaced offering a glimpse into the design of the upcoming Nothing Phone 2a. Shared by SmartPrix in collaboration with tipster @OnLeaks, these leaks provide detailed renders created in 5K resolution using CAD (Computer-Aided Design). The most notable revelation from these renders is the presence of a distinctive pill-shaped camera module on the rear, housing a dual camera setup.

This departure from previous designs hints at Nothing’s commitment to innovation and aesthetic refinement. Surrounding the camera module are three LED strips, strategically positioned to integrate with Nothing’s signature Glyph Interface, also known as Glyph Lights.

While two curved LED strips flank the left side of the camera module, a vertically aligned strip adorns the right, adding a touch of sophistication to the device’s visual appeal. With these leaks igniting anticipation, expectations are high for the Nothing Phone 2a to deliver marked improvements over its predecessors, offering enhanced performance at a more accessible price point.

Because of the semi-transparent back panel on the Nothing Phone 2a render, various screws and contraptions can also be seen. The company’s branding can be seen vertically aligned towards the bottom-left side. The smartphone is shown in the Dark Grey finish.

Earlier, teasing the processor onboard the smartphone, Pei said that it is “Not the Dimensity 7200.” Now, on Monday, the company officially revealed it to be the MediaTek Dimensity 7200 SoC. In the video, Raymond Zhu, the Product Marketing Manager at Nothing, said that they picked the MediaTek chipset over two Qualcomm chipsets — Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 and Snapdragon 782G — as the former offered better performance. A separate post revealed that it is a custom-made chipset that was exclusively co-engineered by MediaTek and the smartphone maker.

As per previous reports, the Nothing Phone 2a is said to feature a 6.7-inch full-HD+ OLED display with a refresh rate of 120Hz. The phone might also ship with Android 14-based NothingOS 2.5.2 and could feature up to 12GB RAM and up to 256GB inbuilt storage.

For optics, its rear camera panel could sport a 50-megapixel primary sensor alongside another 50-megapixel ultra-wide shooter. On the front, it is expected to carry a 32-megapixel camera for selfies and video calls. It is also likely to be backed by a 5,000mAh battery along with a 45W wired charging support.
