Nothing is set to officially launch its new Phone (2a) Plus on July 31st, but the company has already revealed key details about the device, giving tech enthusiasts plenty to discuss. Let's dive into what we know so far about this intriguing new mid-range smartphone.
Design: Familiar Yet Refined
The Phone (2a) Plus maintains Nothing's distinctive aesthetic, featuring the signature Glyph Interface on the rear panel.
