 The Nothing Phone (2a) and Phone (2a) Plus are mid-range Android smartphones developed by Nothing. The base 2a model was announced in March 2024 and released shortly afterwards, while the 2a Plus was introduced in July 2024 and released in August, as an incremental “Plus” variant, with modest upgrades in the processor, front camera and charging speed. The series maintains Nothing’s well known design philosophy of transparency and the [[software:glyph_interface|Glyph Interface]], giving Nothing a foot in the mid-range market.((https://www.gsmarena.com/nothing_phone_(2a)-12760.php))((https://www.gsmarena.com/nothing_phone_(2a)_plus-13243.php))

+==== Special Edition ====
+{{ :hardware:phone_2a_se.webp|The Phone (2a) Special Edition. Source: Nothing}}The Phone (2a) Special Edition was announced on 29 May 2024 as a limited-edition variant of the Phone (2a). It uses red, yellow and blue elements across the rear design, representing the three primary colours and their place within Nothing’s brand identity and taking some inspiration from Bauhaus design. Nothing described it as the first of its hardware products to combine all three colours in a single device.((https://nothing.community/d/10897-introducing-phone-2a-special-edition))
+A hidden Easter egg in Nothing OS allowed owners to unlock a Special Edition colour theme by selecting Dessau in the World Clock widget, referencing the Bauhaus campus in Dessau, Germany. The theme introduced coloured elements to the otherwise monochrome [[:software:nothing_os|Nothing OS]] interface.((https://nothing.community/d/11058-hidden-feature-of-phone-2a-special-edition))
+Priced at £349 / ₹27,999 / €379, limited quantities were sold through Nothing’s website, with a limited in-person [[:community:community_events#physical_drop_events|drop event]] at Nothing Store Soho in London on 1 June 2024.((https://nothing.community/d/10897-introducing-phone-2a-special-edition))
