Nothing: Information about the Phone (2a) test unit leaks with photos and alleged specifications

If rumors are to be believed, the Nothing Phone (2a) is the next device to be expected from the company, and according to the latest official teaser, its unveiling is just around the corner. However, we still don’t know much about the device and its design. According to a recent leak, the phone will use a MediaTek Dimensity 7200 chipset and the back will have a completely new design different from other Nothing models with a three-glyph style.

Now we have a new leak that actually shows a device in the wild in a couple of photos. We are looking at a PVT unit, which stands for “Production Validation Test”, a small initial production batch intended to validate and verify that manufacturing processes are working properly and that devices meet the required specifications and quality standards. It’s typical to see these early units inside a large external case designed specifically to hide the design, which is exactly the situation here.

Even so, we can clearly make out the horizontal camera arrangement on the back, unlike any other Nothing Phone. Let’s assume that the rest of the information available from the source is reliable. If that’s the case, the Nothing Phone (2a) will have a 6.7-inch, 120Hz OLED display, the aforementioned Dimensity 7200 chipset, paired with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage (there may also be other memory variants). There also appears to be two 50MP rear cameras, like on the Nothing Phone 2, but a 16MP selfie cam. It appears the phone also ships with Nothing OS 2.5 and Android 14. Take some of these details with a grain of salt, however, as the About Phone screen also lists 1,000mAh of battery capacity, which is clearly wrong.
