Nothing finally confirmed the launch date of the Nothing Phone 2a. The mid-range device is scheduled to arrive in India and global markets on March 5.

He then revealed that Nothing phones including the upcoming Nothing Phone 2a will offer a superior experience by avoiding these pitfalls. "With Phone (2a), what's important is great performance and a great camera. That's what the team has been really focused on, whilst not forgetting about what makes us unique: our design innovation and our software," says Pei.
