A new smartphone from Nothing has been spotted moving through a certification process, but this isn’t the Nothing Phone (3) - rather, it looks like it’ll be the Nothing Phone (2a) which takes inspiration fromGoogle.
Google’s ‘A’ series of Pixel phones offer the same design and some of the flagship features of its main handsets, but in a more affordable package, allowing more consumers the opportunity to try out what the Pixel family has to offer.
It’s not the only smartphone manufacturer to do this, many have offered similar toned-down versions of their flagships at a lower price point, but Google is the only one - for now - to consistently use the ‘a’ moniker to denote the more affordable devices.

A few days later Chaudhary followed up his initial tweetwith screenshotsof a device with the model number AIN142 passing through the BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) certification site.
Devices tend to pass through certification websites as they near launch, which would suggest the Nothing Phone (2a) reveal may not be too far off.

Nothing Phone (2a) could be priced to move
The rumoured handset will borrow many of its features from theNothing Phone (2), and while it may have used Google’s A-series as naming inspiration, Nothing could well undercut the Pixel series when it comes to cost.

The Phone (2) is already available at a discounted price of £549 (from an original price of £629), and Nothing will want to keep enough daylight between the two handsets in terms of cost to attract new buyers.
If we look at Google, it’s still selling 2022’sPixel 7for £599 while thePixel 7a(which launched mid-way through 2023) is £449 at time of writing - a difference of £150.
So the Nothing Phone (2a) price could be around £400, which would be tempting for those looking to try out the start-up’s tech offering, but it would be the same RRP as the firm’s first handset, thePhone (1)(now available a the discounted price of £279).
Nothing may be tempted to introduce the Phone (2a) under £400, which could make it a particularly appealing purchase.
That said, there have been no hints from Nothing that a more affordable phone is on the way soon, so it’s worth taking this latest leak with a pinch of salt.
