The first thing you’ll notice is its design — because Nothing wants you to. The transparent back, stripped-down glyph lights, and symmetrical lines give the 2a a distinct identity. It’s lighter than the Phone 2 and a bit more playful, almost like a younger sibling trying less hard to impress — and succeeding.
While it skips some of the premium materials of its pricier siblings, the 2a doesn’t feel cheap. The plastic frame and rear are well-built, and the reduced glyph interface(limited to three light strips) still brings that signature Nothing flair.
