Nothing Phone (2a) Plus

During its Press Event in Berlin, Nothing unveiled its highly anticipated new smartphone, Phone (2a) Plus, and a close-up visual of an upcoming product the company will be launching soon via social channels.

The new mid-range smartphone is an upgrade of the successful Phone (2a) in terms of performance, camera, and design, offering an all-around improved smartphone experience. Powered by a world-exclusive processor, the MediaTek 7350 Pro 5G, for an even smoother and faster user experience. Additionally, a new 50 MP front camera sensor has been implemented for superstar selfies, and new metallic colorways have been developed to reflect superior specifications. GCC customers can get their hands on the new device from September, 12.

“Following the success of Phone (2a), which was a breath of fresh air in its market segment and became our best-selling smartphone, we’re thrilled to introduce Phone (2a) Plus. This upgraded variant features a world-exclusive processor, an improved front camera, and a new metallic design. With Phone (3) launching in 2025, Phone (2a) Plus is for those who are excited about Phone (2a) but are seeking even higher performance,” said Carl Pei, CEO of Nothing.

Design

Phone (2a) Plus introduces two new colors for Nothing smartphones: metallic Grey and an updated Black. Reminiscent of machinery, the metallic finish offers a new premium expression of Nothing’s design language, while highlighting the cutting-edge upgrades of Phone (2a) Plus.

An inherited design story from Phone (2a), Phone (2a) Plus has been crafted at the intersection of engineering and artistry. By integrating components into the phone’s exterior, we created an anthropomorphic appearance whereby the cameras inside the NFC coil represent two eyes sitting in front of a brain-like hub of intelligence and communication. The circular grid system design centralises the camera, ensuring a coherent and endearing appearance that makes Phone (2a) Plus another instant icon.

Performance

The MediaTek Dimensity 7350 Pro 5G processor, a world exclusive to Nothing, powers the Phone (2a) Plus. This chipset, designed with an emphasis on entertainment, makes the device ideal for gamers. It uses advanced TSMC 4 nm Gen 2 technology, with 8 cores running up to 3.0 GHz – nearly 10% faster CPU than Phone (2a), and is supported by an ARM Mali-G610 MC4 GPU clocking at 1.3 GHz, 30% faster when gaming than Phone (2a). The high performance is maintained by Nothing’s Smart Clean Technology, which clears unused system files, NTFS optimizations for fast file transfers, and RAM Booster providing up to 20 GB of effective RAM.

Camera

Take photography to the next level with a Nothing debut: the triple 50 MP camera system. Phone (2a) Plus’ selfie camera now captures sublime 4K video at 30 FPS, a hardware upgrade from Phone (2a)’s 32 MP sensor.

Boasting a large light-absorbing 50 MP main sensor with a f/1.88 lens, an ultra-wide 50 MP sensor with a 114º field of view, and now, a 50 MP front camera for superstar selfies and better quality video calling. All three sensors support direct 50 MP photo output, HDR photo capture, and 4K video recording. The main camera comes alive in low-light conditions with night shots appearing just as detailed and vibrant as in the day. Record stunning 4K video with the main camera, supported by Optical Image Stabilisation as well as Electric Image Stabilisation and Action Mode for smooth footage when people can’t stand still.

To ensure Phone (2a) Plus is the full picture, Nothing combines elite hardware with state-of-the-art software. Our TrueLens Engine with AI Vivid Mode consists of advanced algorithms to produce life-like photos, bursting with colour and detail. The Ultra XDR feature, co-developed with Google, enhances lighting in challenging conditions by adjusting pixel brightness up to 5 times, ensuring true-to-life images every time you press the button.

Nothing OS / AI

With Nothing OS 2.6, Nothing has expanded its library with even more functional widgets for mindful interactions on your home and lock screens. Complete with swipeable views and animations for more levels of information.

Following on from its ChatGPT integrations earlier in the year, Nothing has developed the News Reporter Widget. A daily digest that leverages AI technology to aggregate daily news in a simple and intuitive format and read aloud by Nothing CFO Tim Holbrow. It is available on all Nothing smartphones through the Nothing Widgets app on the Google Play Store.

The widget provides curated news from eight selectable genres, including: business, entertainment, general, health, science, sports and technology. The AI system then summarises news articles from English language news sources based on category and converts them to audio. Each story summary lasts 1 minute with a total of 8 stories per day. Every morning (local time relative), the widget will automatically refresh with a new bank of stories.

Unlike the majority of the devices in this category, Phone (2a) Plus comes with Android 14 out of the box, and an impressive three years of software updates and four years of security updates.

Battery and Charging

The Nothing Phone (2a) Plus comes with rapid50W Fast Charging, which means it can be charged to one day’s power in under 20 minutes, nearly 10% faster than Phone (2a).

Phone (2a) Plus remains fitted with Nothing’s biggest smartphone battery to date, a powerful 5,000 mAH unit. It can deliver up to two days of use on a full charge and retains over 90% of its full capacity, even after 1,000 charging cycles.

Display

Phone (2a) Plus has a flexible FHD+ 6.7” AMOLED display that can deliver stunningly accurate colour reproduction of 1.07 billion colours. Boasting a peak brightness of 1300 nits, it ensures superb visibility, even when the sun is shining at its brightest.

Phone (2a) Plus retains the thinnest bezels in Nothing’s smartphone line-up, measuring just 2.1 mm symmetrically on all four sides of the screen. This achievement results in an impressive screen-to-body ratio of 91.65%, made possible through the combination of a flexible panel with structural engineering. The display also boasts a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate and 240Hz touch sampling rate.

Glyph Interface

On the back of the phone, Phone (2a) Plus retains the iconic Glyph Interface. A new way to interact with a smartphone that encourages people to put their screens down and refer to light and sound patterns for key information. The focused Glyph Interface holds on to all the capabilities of Phone (2a), including the Glyph Timer and Glyph Progress that utilises third party integrations, whilst illuminating the distinct new metallic aesthetic of Phone (2a) Plus.

Sustainability

Phone (2a) Plus continues Nothing’s commitment to sustainability, with a carbon footprint of 53.34 kg CO²e. Contributing to its sustainable credentials are the use of recycled materials.

Phone (2a) Plus contains:

  • ● 100% recycled aluminum used in the mid-frame
  • ● 100% recycled tin on 5 circuit boards
  • ● 100% recycled copper foil on the main circuit board
  • ● Recycled steel on 24 steel stamping parts
  • ● Over 50% of the plastic parts are sustainably sourced
  • ● Plastic waste from the Ear (2) production line is repurposed into Phone (2a) Plus

OMNIYAT, the leading developer in Dubai’s luxury real estate landscape, has announced that LUMENA by OMNIYAT is now fully sold out. Unveiled on June 18, 2025, the ultra-luxury commercial development, located on Sheikh Zayed Road in the Burj Khalifa district, completed the sale of its last available space within just two months of launch.

With this impressive sales success, OMNIYAT has established its leadership in the ultra-luxury commercial real estate sector, as this latest milestone follows the recent success of ENARA by OMNIYAT, which is also fully sold out following its launch in Q2 2025. With ENARA establishing a benchmark, LUMENA has elevated expectations even further, setting a new standard for commercial luxury in Dubai.

At its initial launch, LUMENA by OMNIYAT, the ultra-luxury commercial office tower achieved Business Bay’s highest total sales value at AED 3.4 billion, underscoring the robust demand for premium workspaces in Dubai as UHNWIs from across the world continue to relocate to the city for its prosperous, business-friendly economy and elevated lifestyle offering.

Sitting at the intersection of Business Bay and Downtown Dubai, LUMENA by OMNIYAT is a work of architectural mastery, boasting signature features such as the never-before-seen Sky Theatre, and unparalleled amenities catering to the needs and desires of UHNWIs. The 48-storey tower will set a new benchmark for workplace environments in the region upon its completion in Q4 2029.

Mahdi Amjad, Founder and Executive Chairman at OMNIYAT, said: “As Dubai emerges as a global hub for the world’s elite, the success of LUMENA validates our vision to offer breathtaking spaces that raise the bar for what our clients can expect from their working and living environments. This exceptional project reflects OMNIYAT’s ongoing commitment to shaping the commercial landmarks of tomorrow, with more milestones to come.

Unparallelled amenities, five-star service

As part of OMNIYAT’s portfolio of luxury residential, commercial and hospitality properties, superior service is built into the core experience. A full suite of service offerings includes a dedicated concierge, reception, meeting room management, spa and wellness coordination, lifestyle bookings, personal services, and bespoke experiences, such as event planning, luxury travel arrangements, and private shopping. These services are managed by OMNIYAT and draw from the brand’s experience in delivering high-touch hospitality across its award-winning commercial towers, residences and hotels, including ENARA by OMNIYAT, and The Opus by OMNIYAT.

ROLLS-ROYCE MOTOR CARS PRESENTS BESPOKE BLACK BADGE CULLINAN SERIES II ‘DESERT SUNSET’, COMMISSIONED THROUGH PRIVATE OFFICE DUBAI

Rolls-Royce presents its latest Bespoke commission from the Middle East – a captivating Black Badge Cullinan Series II inspired by the unique colours of the sunset over the client’s home city of Doha in Qatar.

The motor car’s Bespoke two-tone exterior paint finish features Bronze as the main body colour. This takes its cues from the deserts of the Arabian Peninsula, where the mix of iron-rich red and calcium carbonate-based white sands lends a warm, golden-brown hue to the landscape. The upper portion is finished in Sunrise Sparkle, which mimics the setting sun’s rays reflecting and scattering across the sheer glass and steel surfaces of Doha’s futuristic skyline. The interior is trimmed in Sunrise main leather with Casden Tan secondary and Havana tertiary leathers, complemented with seat inserts, piping, contrast stitching, and embroidered ‘RR’ headrest monograms in Sunrise. The seats are decorated with Bespoke perforations, which mimic the shapes of the clouds as they appear over the Home of Rolls-Royce in Goodwood. The wood elements are crafted from Mimosa Negra open-pore veneer. Dark Spice carpets and Casden Tan lambswool floor mats complete the interior theme.

James Crichton, Regional Director, Middle East & Africa, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, commented: “Our clients’ ever-growing demand for individualisation has made the Middle East our most valuable market for Bespoke motor cars in the world. Through our Private Office in Dubai, we bring the Home of Rolls-Royce in Goodwood to our clients in the region, providing them with a unique opportunity to co-create their motor car alongside a dedicated Bespoke designer and specialised client experience manager. This expressive Black Badge Cullinan Series II highlights how our Bespoke team can capture the spirit of special places and cultures, and Cullinan’s potential as a canvas for self-expression, creativity, and artistry.”

Ayman Berjawi, General Manager, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Doha, added: “This remarkable Black Badge Cullinan Series II commission is a celebration of Qatar’s natural beauty and our client’s discerning taste. ‘Desert Sunset’ is not only a stunning expression of Bespoke craftsmanship, but also a reflection of the unique bond between Rolls-Royce and our clients in Doha. We are proud to see such a bold and emotive creation inspired by our home city, brought to life through our close collaboration with the Private Office in Dubai.”

The motor car was commissioned by a longstanding Qatari client through Private Office Dubai, located in the neighbouring United Arab Emirates. Available by invitation only, Rolls-Royce’s Private Office service gives clients the opportunity to develop the most detailed and complex Bespoke commissions in partnership with a Bespoke designer and dedicated experience manager permanently based in the region in private, relaxed surroundings.

Opened in 2022, Private Office Dubai was the first creative outpost outside the Home of Rolls-Royce at Goodwood. It is now part of the global network that extends to other major luxury hubs including Shanghai, New York City and Seoul.

Private Office Dubai serves clients throughout the Middle East and Africa. The decision to begin building the international network here reflects the region’s status as Rolls-Royce’s leading market for Bespoke commissions by average value. Clients from the Middle East consistently request some of the marque’s most technically challenging, creatively ambitious, and highly individualised commissions.
