The Nothing Phone (2a) Plus Community Edition is Nothing’s latest smartphone, using designs submitted by the community, and it glows in the dark. Depending on your location, you can sign up for a chance to buy the device starting today, but it doesn’t guarantee a purchase. Only 1,000 of them will be available and will not be sold in North America, Taiwan or Korea.
Nothing called the public to design a product in March first. The competition consisted of four stages: creating a new look, developing wallpapers, developing a new package and then developing a marketing campaign. People would then submit their ideas and winners would then be selected. These inputs then went into the final design as seen now. Community event attendees are given priority to register for the Phone (2a) Plus Community Edition, but it will still be sold on a first-come, first-served basis. You can find out how to get it post.
Interestingly, those in Malaysia (like me), Singapore, Thailand and the Philippines don’t have to register to potentially buy one. With only 25 devices per country, they’ll have to be quick, though they can get one through Nothing’s official partners. Fans of Nothing’s phones in Japan can also register for the phone, but the phones they will receive are based on older phones. Nothing Phone (2a).
Apart from buying the phone online, fans in London and Delhi can also visit the physical store. The Nothing Store in Soho will have 50 of them in stock from November 16. However, those in Delhi should watch the space and the phone will go on sale on November 23rd.
The Nothing Phone (2a) Plus Community Edition will be available on November 12th and will retail for £399, roughly $430. It comes with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage space.
