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.
