Nothing’s Phone 2A Plus is a little shinier, a little faster, and a little bit more expensive
A little more than four months after the Phone 2A’s debut, Nothing is already introducing a follow-up with the Phone 2A Plus, which has a handful of performance improvements and a more premium look while maintaining a sub-$400 price tag.
Plus is often used in smartphone naming to delineate a larger model with a bigger screen, but that’s not the case here. The Phone 2A Plus has the same 6.7-inch OLED screen up front to go with the same flashing Glyph Interface in the back, the same 5,000mAh battery, and NFC, just like the 2A.
The biggest upgrade for the Phone 2A Plus is a new MediaTek Dimensity 7350 Pro 5G processor, currently exclusive to Nothing, which the company claims is nearly 10 percent faster than the processor used in the Phone 2A and has a GPU that’s 30 percent faster.

With the original 2A, Nothing demonstrated that a budget phone doesn’t have to skimp on design, and the Plus adds two new metallic colorways: an updated black finish and a new gray option that simulates the look of unfinished machined metal.
Even with those performance and style upgrades, the budget phone will sell for £399 in the UK and $399 in the US, with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. That’s £50 / $50 more than the 12GB version of the Phone 2A, and the company will continue to sell both models.
There are other improvements, too. The Phone 2A Plus’ front-facing camera got a bump in resolution from 32 megapixels to 50 megapixels, and Nothing says an improved portrait algorithm helps enhance facial features like eyes and facial hair. Finally, max wired charging increased from 45W on the 2A to 50W on the 2A Plus, but there’s still no wireless charging.
The Nothing Phone 2A Plus will be available first at the company’s Soho store in London starting at 11AM BST on August 3rd. Availability in the US will start on August 7th at 9AM ET, but only through Nothing’s US beta program and, like the Phone 2A, with limited support for US networks.
