Nothing, the tech startup known for its unique design aesthetics, is set to launch its next smartphone, Nothing Phone (2a) Plus on July 31, 2024. This device promises to be a significant upgrade over its predecessor, the Phone (2a), thanks to a powerful new chipset: the MediaTek Dimensity 7350 Pro.

A Chipset That Packs a Punch

The heart of the Nothing Phone (2a) Plus is undoubtedly the MediaTek Dimensity 7350 Pro. Built on a 4nm process, this octa-core processor boasts a clock speed of up to 3.0 GHz, promising a performance boost of nearly 10% compared to the Phone (2a).

To complement the powerful chipset, Nothing (2a) plus offers up to 12GB of RAM, which can be virtually extended by an additional 8GB.

The Phone (2a) Plus is likely to bring more than just a performance upgrade. Here’s what we can anticipate:

• Improved Build Quality: Expect a premium feel with a glass back and an aluminum frame.
• Enhanced Camera Capabilities: A larger main camera sensor, possibly the LYT-600, could lead to better image quality.
• Brighter Display: A peak brightness of around 2000 nits is rumored, ensuring excellent visibility in outdoor conditions.
