Performance Boost
The Phone (2a) Plus will feature the MediaTek Dimensity 7350 Pro, a chip exclusive to this device.

Memory and Storage
Nothing has confirmed that the Phone (2a) Plus will come with 12 GB of RAM, with the ability to expand up to an additional 8 GB through virtual RAM technology. This should provide ample multitasking capabilities for most users.
Display and Design
While exact specifications haven't been revealed, the Plus moniker strongly suggests a larger display than the 6.7-inch screen found on the original Phone (2a). This could potentially make the (2a) Plus Nothing's largest smartphone to date.
A teaser image shared by Nothing hints at the possibility of wireless charging support, a feature absent from the standard Phone (2a). The image appears to show something resembling the wireless charging coils found in Nothing's flagship devices.
What to Expect
The Phone (2a) Plus is likely to retain many of the features that made the original Phone (2a) popular, including:
- Dual 50MP camera setup
- IP54 water and dust resistance
- 5,000 mAh battery (potentially larger)
- Nothing's signature Glyph lighting system (possibly enhanced)
With its exclusive chipset and potential new features, the Nothing Phone (2a) Plus aims to offer a compelling option in the upper mid-range smartphone market. Full details, including pricing and availability, will be revealed during the official launch on July 31.
