After two generations of premium devices, Nothing is preparing to launch a new mid-range smartphone dubbed Nothing Phone 2a. The new smartphone will boast the MediaTek Dimensity 7200 Soc and will include most of the features that make the Nothing phones stand in the crowd. Today, an image sketch of the smartphone confirmed the new rear camera design and a change for the glyph interface. To those unaware, the Glyph interface is composed of a set of individual LED zones. These can light up in unison or separately for a unique light show. They can serve as notification alerts, call alerts, etc. This is one of the most unique features of Nothing phones, and now the company plans to bring it to the mid-range market.
The sketch alone is not enough to depict the phone’s design in full. However, it suggests a smaller glyph interface and a circular camera island with two shooters.
Under the hood, the Nothing Phone (2a) will sport the MediaTek Dimensity 7200 SoC. This chipset has 2 x ARM Cortex-A715 cores clocked at 2.8 GHz and 6 x ARM Cortex-A510 cores at 2.0 GHz. This chipset offers decent performance for app usage and moderate gaming. The Nothing Phone (2a) has model number A142 and codenames Pacman / Aero.
