Whether through OnLeaks or the brand's official forum, the design of the Nothing Phone (2a) is revealed from all angles with good quality visuals. At the same time, the manufacturer is already presenting the chip that will equip its future smartphone. The latter really no longer has any secrets.

An Internet user posted a message on the brand's official forum to share new images of the Nothing Phone (2a). In a first version of his publication, he explains that his “friend who works at Nothing” sent him these renderings. Information to be taken with a grain of salt obviously, but the look of the smartphone completely matches everything we have already seen so far on the web.

Original article published on February 20:
The Nothing Phone (2a) continues to be talked about and it has almost nothing to hide even though its presentation is scheduled for March 5. Thus, OnLeaks, in partnership with the Smartprix site, shared “more detailed and precise” visuals. Remember that the French leaker relies on its sources in the industry to reproduce the design of a device before its official presentation. And it is known to be an extremely reliable source.
We can therefore admire the major visual change that is being prepared on the back of the smartphone. Indeed, the Nothing Phone (2a) should adopt a horizontal and centered photo module to house its two cameras. Several pieces of information were already pointing in this direction.

This is also an opportunity to see what the famous Glyph on the back should look like – the LED lights which come to life depending on the type of notifications and also serve as a more powerful flash. The effect looks less marked on the Nothing Phone (2a) than on the Phone (1) or Phone (2), but this signature of the brand would remain very present.

We can also see a transparent back allowing you to see what looks like internal components. In particular, there would be a sinuous element going from the photo block to the bottom of the device. And although it should be fake to only serve an aesthetic effect, it evokes a heat pipe for heat dissipation or simply the circuit board of the motherboard.

Note that despite the excellent reliability of OnLeaks, the co-founder of Nothing, Akis Evangelidis, reports in a message on Twitter/X that it is a “fake”. However, we mainly have the impression that he writes this ironically or in a vain attempt to still retain a little mystery.

In parallel with these new visuals from OnLeaks, Nothing published a video of approximately 9 minutes where the brand provides several technical explanations on the design of a smartphone and the importance of the chip. Chip that the manufacturer officially reveals in this content.
It is therefore confirmed: the Nothing Phone (2a) will be equipped with a MediaTek SoC, the Dimensity 7200 Pro. We thus learn that it is a variant of the classic Dimensity 7200.

This Dimensity 7200 Pro was developed jointly with MediaTek especially for the Phone (2a). Nothing claims that this will allow better complementarity between hardware and software to, among other things, benefit from increased energy efficiency on various components.
This custom chip also enables another functionality behind the scenes. About twice a week, while the smartphone is recharging, the system will restore some order to your files – without deleting them without your knowledge – to ensure that the writing of data to your storage space remains efficient on the duration. Ultimately, the promise is to have a smartphone as responsive as the first day, for several years.

Finally, it would take up to 12 GB of RAM.
