Nothing, a recent entrant in the global consumer tech arena, has swiftly gained recognition for its impressive product lineup. Despite being a newcomer, the company has already introduced two smartphones: the Nothing Phone 1 and Nothing Phone 2. Recent rumors hint at the possibility of a third smartphone from Nothing, likely named Nothing Phone 2a. However, it’s worth noting that this potential release may not be a direct successor to its predecessor.
According to a leak by user @saaaanjjjuuu, Nothing is reportedly developing a handset with the model number AIN142, set to be unveiled as the Nothing Phone 2a. Some features of this upcoming device have been disclosed, including a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with a centered punch-hole for the selfie camera. Additionally, the leaked images of the rear of the smartphone suggest the inclusion of ‘Glyph Interface’ LED lights.
It’s important to approach this information with caution as the source of the leak lacks a reliable track record. Readers are advised to take this information with a grain of salt.
In addition to potential smartphone releases, Nothing is rumored to launch its third-generation earbuds, Nothing Ear (3), in January. As of now, there haven’t been any other leaks or information regarding a new handset.
If Nothing indeed plans to introduce a new smartphone, it is anticipated to be a mid-range device, aligning with the original Nothing Phone (1). Positioned below the Nothing Phone (2), it could serve as an affordable entry point into the Nothing ecosystem.
