The Nothing Phone (2a) was recently introduced, quickly making a significant impact on the smartphone market. During its initial sales day on March 12th, CEO Carl Pei disclosed that the company successfully sold 100,000 units, with an impressive 60,000 units sold within the first hour alone.
Mid-Range Marvel
This new smartphone, positioned as a more budget-friendly option compared to the Phone (2), maintains an impressive array of features. It inherits essential specifications from its pricier counterpart, such as a sizable 6.7-inch OLED display and a dual 50MP rear camera setup. Additionally, the phone retains the distinctive Glyph design on its rear panel.
Cutting-Edge Features
A standout feature of the Nothing Phone is its custom-designed Dimensity 7200 Pro processor. Although touted as offering 10% greater efficiency, its real-world performance is likely on par with the standard Dimensity 7200 or 7200 Ultra, as all three utilize the same 4nm manufacturing process.
