True. Life.

Explore our TrueLens Engine: advanced computational photography algorithms that bring to life intricate details in each and every shot.

Drag to reveal

Co-developed with Google. For deeper, more accurate contrasts between highlight and shadows, your camera captures 8 frames at different exposure levels in RAW format for maximum details. It then adjusts the brightness of each pixel up to 5 times to display the most true-to-life result.

Drag to reveal

All the details at any hour. Amplifies low-light environments by grouping together multiple pixels, forming bigger ones while using OIS (Optical Image Stabilisation) to increase exposure time without shake. All together, boosts light intake to reduce noise and reveal more details.

Drag to reveal

Makes action shots a walk in the park. Dynamically adjusts the shutter speed when detecting moving subjects and captures multiple frames, combining them into one for the clearest, blur-free shot.

Drag to reveal

Get the golden group picture. The AI algorithm detects faces in frame and ups the resolution even if a subject
is far away. Preserves skin-tone under any light.

#WithNothing

Judge for yourself. Here’s what our users have captured on Phone (2a).

For. You.

Nothing OS delivers the best of Android with a fast and smooth experience rooted in utility and functional customisation.

Powered by Android 14

Experience the latest innovations through fresh eyes. With 3 years of major Android updates and 4 years of security updates.

Functional customisation

Streamline your smartphone use with personalisation options that make sense to you. For a faster and more intuitive experience. Whether that’s a monochromatic theme that mutes the distracting nature of colourful branded icons or removing app labels for a less cluttered appearance - Nothing OS puts you in control of your smartphone navigation.

Nothing Widgets

Little windows into your apps that let you do more directly from your home and lock screen. With Nothing OS 2.5, we’ve expanded our library with even more Nothing-designed widgets, with swipeable views and animations for more levels of information and interactions.

Fast and smooth

Committed to providing a fast and smooth user experience above all else, we've continued to optimise our software for Phone (2a). The result is app opening speeds that are up to twice as fast as those of Phone (1), while refining over 500 transitions and animations.

So. Fresh.

Built on a canvas of transparency, we're unlocking new design possibilities by fusing human warmth with innovative engineering.

Innovation personified

By integrating a phone's components into its external design, we showcase key functions in new and innovative ways. With Phone (2a), by placing the cameras inside the NFC coil, we create a new product icon: the eyes. Behind these is the hub of intelligence that powers the phone, much like a brain. This area is also where Phone (2a) communicates with the outside world. The camera captures visual information, the Glyph Interface transmits data through visuals and audio, and the NFC coil sends and receives digital information. Elements are precisely positioned using a circular grid system. Extends all the way to the edge of the phone to create more rounded corners. Giving a coherent and softer overall look and feel.

The art of engineering

To further captivate interest, we've created a sense of symmetrical imbalance where the lower part of Phone (2a) is purposefully designed to disrupt the flow of the top. Here, the phone houses the battery, additional internal components, and a set of flexible printed circuits connecting the motherboard to the display, SIM card and USB type C port. This part was designed drawing inspiration from Massimo Vignelli's New York subway map — a graphical exercise that turned an intricate chart into something simple and elegant. Turns out the complexity of routing trains is not so different from routing electronics.

Pushing boundaries

Phone (2a) features an industry first: the 90° infinity back cover. Adds a dynamic new dimension to our iconic transparent design whilst enforcing the structural rigidity and overall durability of the phone. To assemble, we used an innovative dual compression and injection process that enables a thickness ratio of 2.2:0.8 (thickest to thinnest) compared to industry standard of 2:1. Engineered by iterating the mould dozens of times with thousands of samples and tests with over 180 materials.

Light. Work.

When taking photos on timer, a light will show the countdown. Or use the Glyph Interface 
as a portable ring-light for a soft glow on 
nearby subjects.

See your favourite songs come to life as lights dance to the beat in real-time.

When selected contacts or apps send you a notification, a light will shine persistently until you’ve opened it, serving as a gentle reminder that something important has come through.

Assign unique light and sound sequences as ringtones for individual contacts so you can stay one step ahead of who's getting in touch.

Set a time then flip your device face down to start a visual countdown.
