Nothing has now officially teased the design of the Phone (2a), the company's 'clear upgrade' over the Phone (1). Arriving with familiar design cues, the Nothing Phone (2a) will look nothing like an earlier @OnLeaks render, which the leaker has now acknowledged.

While Nothing still remains quiet about much of its next smartphone, it has now begun hinting at a few design elements. In the process, the company also discredited an alleged promotional shot shared earlier this week by @OnLeaks, albeit without acknowledging the latter's disclosure. Unsurprisingly, the same leaker has since disavowed their earlier post:

Sooo... Seems like my #Nothing Phone 2a leak was wrong because...  

THIS actually ISN'T the #NothingPhone2a! (very fake  look through non official press render) Sorry...

While @OnLeaks' alleged promotional shot showed the Phone (2a) with a subtly curved back panel, Nothing's teaser implies that the device will maintain the company's existing design language. Thus, the Nothing Phone (2a) has a flat back panel, possibly a translucent one at that, as well as a chamfered mid-frame. Additionally, the handset also appears to carry over the white colourway in which Nothing sells the Phone (1) and Phone (2) (curr. $689 on Amazon).

If earlier hands-on photo leaks are accurate, then the Phone (2a) will adopt a centrally mounted rear-facing camera housing in a departure from Nothing's other two smartphones. Meanwhile, other rumours point towards specifications like a MediaTek Dimensity 7200 chipset, a 120 Hz AMOLED Display and various high-megapixel cameras. Nothing will present the Phone (2a) later this month during MWC 2024, confirmation of which the company provided late last year.
