Nothing today announces the Phone (2a) Special Edition, a story of color told through its latest smartphone.
From its graphic identity to its collaborative approach with the Nothing community, transparency is at the heart of the brand. The idea is to distill things down to their most basic yet beautiful form. Nothing’s industrial design team in King’s Cross, London, has applied this notion to color tohighlight red, yellow and blue in a unique new shade.
Phone (2a) Special Edition celebrates primary colors and their place in the Nothing brand identity. For the first time, all three colors are used together in a single Nothing device. Previously, red has been used in the right earpiece of all Nothing audio products, yellow in the new Ear (a) and, more recently, blue was revealed with the Phone (2a) Blue* – but until now, the three colors had never been brought together in a single product.
“We’re very pleased to unveil the Phone (2a) Special Edition. This is the first product to explore our primary color palette: red, blue and yellow. Its overall aesthetic references some of our heroes of the past, while creating a new expression for a smartphone. It transforms a functional device into a striking work of art” , said Adam Bates, Design Director at Nothing.
The Special Edition incorporates all the strengths of the Phone (2a) that were hailed at its launch. It offers impressive performance thanks to the MediaTek Dimensity 7200 Pro processor, a fast and fluid Nothing operating system, anda long-lasting 5,000 mAh battery. The device boasts a flexible 6.7-inch AMOLED display, an impressive 50-megapixel dual rear camera, and features Nothing’s unique design through its hardware and Glyph interface.
The Phone (2a) aroused market enthusiasm, selling 100,000 units in just a few hours.
Since launch, the Nothing software team has rolled out 13 updates to fine-tune the camera’s performance, including optimizing color consistency in the main wide-angle sensor, improving portrait brightness in HDR scenes and smoothing the opening of the camera application.
The Phone (2a), as well as its predecessors, offer industry-first ChatGPT integration when paired with a Nothing audio product. In addition, new ChatGPT widgets have been introduced for quick and easy access from your smartphone’s home screen. Earlier this month, Nothing announced that Phone (2a) users can now access the Android 15 Developer Preview.
