Celebrating Primary Colors
The Nothing Phone (2a) Special Edition celebrates the foundational elements of color theory by integrating all three primary colors into one device. This marks a first for Nothing, which has previously incorporated these colors separately in various products. Adam Bates, Nothing’s Design Director, expressed enthusiasm about this new design direction, emphasizing how it transforms the smartphone from a mere functional device into a striking piece of art.
“We are very happy to unveil Phone (2a) Special Edition. The first product to explore our palette of the primary colors; red, blue, and yellow. Its overall aesthetic references some of our design heroes from the past, whilst creating a new expression for a smartphone.”
Adam Bates, Nothing design director at the brand’s London studio.
Design and Specifications
The Phone (2a) Special Edition retains the core design philosophy of transparency, now enhanced with bold primary color accents. This unique combination not only celebrates Nothing’s brand identity but also pays homage to iconic design inspirations from the past. The base color of the phone is white, with accents of red, yellow, and blue strategically placed to enhance its visual appeal.
Despite the striking new design, the hardware specifications of the Phone (2a) Special Edition remain consistent with the original model:
- Display: 6.7-inch 1080×2412 120 Hz AMOLED screen
- Processor: Dimensity 7200 Pro SoC
- Cameras: 50 MP main camera with OIS, 50 MP ultrawide camera, and a 32 MP selfie camera
- Battery: 5,000 mAh with 45W wired charging support
- Operating System: Android 14
These specifications ensure that the Phone (2a) Special Edition delivers the same high performance and functionality as the original Phone (2a).

The pricing varies by region, starting at £349 in the UK, €379 in Europe, and INR 27,999 in India. Additionally, the device will be available for purchase at Nothing’s store in Soho, London, beginning Saturday, June 1st.

A New Expression in Smartphone Design
The introduction of the Phone (2a) Special Edition underscores Nothing’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of smartphone design. By incorporating primary colors into its transparent aesthetic, Nothing not only highlights its innovative design approach but also distinguishes itself in a market often dominated by monochrome devices.
“The smartphone market has stayed resolutely monochrome for far too long. Even Google’s tasteful shades and the occasional pop of color from Apple can’t make up for the millions upon millions of black and white devices foisted on us over the decade.”
Adam Bates.
With its eye-catching design and high performance, the Nothing Phone (2a) Special Edition is poised to appeal to tech enthusiasts and design aficionados alike. While it may not offer new features beyond those of the original Phone (2a), its unique aesthetic is sure to make it a coveted item in the smartphone market.
