Moreover, there is a possibility that it will be sold in two colors: black and white. When it comes to the camera system, it is suspected to have a 50 MP main camera, a 50 MP ultrawide camera, and a 32 MP selfie camera.
Nothing Phone 2a as a Budget-Friendly Option
Last month, Nothing CEO Carl Pei confirmed that a new smartphone is about to debut this year. He also revealed that the device is under the codename" Aerodactyl", a common practice of the brand to name them after Pokemon.
The upcoming mid-range Nothing phone is expected to cost around $400 for the base model and will be a good option for people who are looking for a budget-friendly alternative to the Nothing Phone 2.
As of writing, there are no clues as to when the phone will be released. However, some experts are guessing that it could be on February 27 which is around the same time as the Mobile World Congress. Given that the phone is already in its TUV certification process, there is a big possibility.
