The Nothing Phone 2a Plus is set to launch at a price of $399 in the U.S. and 399 British pounds in the U.K., with availability starting on August 3 and August 7, respectively.

Performance improvements are anticipated as the device will be powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 7350 Pro chipset, which offers nearly 10% faster performance than the previous Dimensity 7200 Pro.

The phone features a flexible FHD+ 6.7-inch AMOLED display, enhancing clarity and image quality, while retaining the same dimensions as its predecessor.

Wired charging has been upgraded from 45W to 50W, although the device still lacks wireless charging capabilities.

The phone includes a fingerprint sensor under the display and a 50-megapixel selfie camera capable of shooting 4K video.

The design incorporates new metallic finishes and maintains the Glyph Interface lighting system, featuring two 50MP rear cameras with optical and electronic image stabilization.

The chipset supports up to 200MP camera capture and 4K HDR video at 30FPS, with connectivity options that include Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3.

The device will be available in two colors: 'Metallic Grey' and 'Black', and it retains a polycarbonate exterior, which some reviewers consider a downgrade compared to competitors with metal frames.

Nothing's Community Edition Project allowed fan input on hardware design, culminating in the announcement of this visually striking model.

Overall, the Nothing Phone 2a Plus aims to attract users seeking an affordable yet high-quality smartphone experience in the competitive mid-range market.

Further details on global availability are expected by September, as Nothing plans to keep its Phone lineup relevant until the anticipated launch of Phone (3) next year.
