Nothing Phone 2a (8GB/128GB)

After all these rumors and teasers, the Nothing Phone (2a) is finally official in Nepal. It brings a MediaTek Dimensity 7200 Pro chipset, a unique Glyph interface, dual 50MP cameras, and more. And we have a new 8/128GB and 12/256GB variants as well. So without further ado, let’s walk through the specs, features, and official price of the Nothing Phone (2a) in Nepal in this article.

Nothing Phone (2a) Overview

Glyph Interface Stays

One of the signature design elements of the Nothing Phone lineup is the Glyph Interface. As such, the Phone (2a) has not ditched this signature look but it does undergo some changes. For starters, it is nowhere as pronounced as on the existing Nothing Phones. There are 3 (somewhat curved) strips around the camera module accompanied by a transparent design. In terms of ingress protection, it secures an IP54 rating.

Display

As for the display, the Nothing Phone (2a) sports a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. This FHD+ display bears a 394 PPI density, 10-bit colors, and 1300 nits of peak brightness.

Performance and Storage

Under the hood, this smartphone features MediaTek’s Dimensity 7200 Pro SoC on the Nothing Phone (2a). It’s an octa-core processor built on TSMC’s 2nd gen 4nm node featuring 2 Cortex A715 prime cores (@2.8GHz) and 6 Cortex A510 secondary cores (@2.0 GHz).

Likewise, the Pro moniker stands for the joint collaboration with Mediatek engineers for better software and hardware integration. On the GPU side, there’s Arm Mali-G610 MC4 and HyperEngine 5.0 for handling graphical workloads. To keep the thermals in check, Nothing has provided an advanced liquid cooling system.

And if you were wondering, the chipset scores somewhere over 700,000 on the AnTuTu Benchmark, falling a bit shy from the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 SoC from Qualcomm, which scores around 800,000.

Software-wise, the Phone (2a) boots on Nothing OS 2.5 built on top of Android 14. And the company is promising 3 years of major OS updates and 4 years of security updates. Memory-wise, it comes with 12GB RAM + 8GB virtual RAM and 128/256GB of internal storage.

Camera

In terms of optics, you get a 50MP main camera of a 1/1.15 inch sensor with OIS coupled with a 50MP ultrawide camera of a 1/2.76″ sensor size, which is the same one from the Phone (2). The main camera supports video shooting up to 4K@30 fps. Upfront, you get a 32MP selfie shooter.

Battery, Charging, and Others

Fueling the Nothing Phone (2a) is a 5000mAh battery, accompanied by 45W of fast charging. Talking of the connectivity options here, you get 5G, WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, GPS, NFC, and a USB Type-C 2.0 port. Furthermore, there is an indisplay fingerprint scanner for biometrics security.
