Customized MediaTek Dimensity 7200 Pro chip with optimizations such as Smart Clean and Adaptive NTFS
Larger battery of 5,000 mAh compared to previous models
Nothing Phone (2a) is now available for preorder
The Nothing Phone (2a) is now officially available for preorder at $349. The handset will be available in the U.K. and India through more traditional means, with different configurations depending on market. The phone drops Qualcomm Snapdragon SoCs found in premium models, instead opting for a customized MediaTek Dimensity 7200 Pro chip that offers optimizations such as Smart Clean (+20% UFS read/write speed over prolonged usage”) and Adaptive NTFS (£15% file transfer speeds with Windows computers). The performance will naturally be a step down from the Nothing Phone (2)쎧s flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 but may see a bump in speed with certain workflows. The handset maintains its more premium screen size and refresh rate of 6.7-inch and 120Hz respectively, while the battery is larger than the ones found on both previous models at 5,000 mAh.
