Nothing Phone (2a) Community Edition to Launch on October 30 with Unique Glow Feature
Nothing is set to expand its smartphone lineup with the launch of the Phone (2a) Community Edition on October 30, 2024. The launch event is scheduled for 16:30 IST, where the new edition will be unveiled during the brand’s next Quarterly Update.
Since its initial release in March, the Nothing Phone (2a) has been available in basic White and Black colors. Following the success of these models, Nothing introduced the Blue Edition and Special Edition, as well as an improved version known as the Phone (2a) Plus.
The latest in this series, the Community Edition, features a distinctive design element: it lights up green in the dark, thanks to a luminescent material on the back of the phone, enhancing visibility and aesthetics at night.
The Nothing Phone (2a) Community Edition is expected to be available in limited quantities, making it a coveted item among tech enthusiasts. Regarding pricing, it is anticipated to be set between 25,000 to 30,000 INR in India, positioning it within the mid-range smartphone market.
This launch is seen as a celebration of the community spirit among Nothing’s users, offering a unique, tech-forward device that stands out in the crowded smartphone market.
Apple is reportedly testing two new color options for its upcoming iPhone 17. According to a recent report, the company is working on Purple and Green versions of the regular iPhone 17. However, it seems that only one of these colors will be released. For now, Purple is said to be the leading choice.
In addition to this, Apple is also said to be considering a new Sky Blue color for the iPhone 17 Pro. This is likely aimed at bringing a fresh look to the Pro lineup.
While new colors always catch the attention of iPhone fans, many are even more excited about the expected display upgrades. Reports earlier this month suggested that both the iPhone 17 and the rumored iPhone 17 Air (which may replace the Plus model) will finally get 120Hz displays. However, these models are not expected to include ProMotion features, which will continue to be limited to the Pro versions.
Stay tuned as more details about the iPhone 17 series are likely to surface in the coming months.
Nothing India has announced an exciting new opportunity for tech enthusiasts across the country. The company has launched its Community Review Program for two of its most awaited products — the Nothing Phone (3) and the Headphone (1). The Phone (3) will be Nothing’s first true flagship smartphone, while the Headphone (1) will mark the brand’s entry into over-ear headphones. With the launch just around the corner, this program gives creators a chance to experience these devices before anyone else.
Selected participants in the program will receive one of these devices on loan. They will get the chance to test the product and create in-depth reviews for the Nothing Community as well as for their own social media followers. This is a great opportunity for creators to showcase their photography, videography, or writing skills while sharing honest feedback about these new gadgets with other tech fans.
To apply for the program, you must be an Indian resident aged 18 years or older. You should be a fan of the Nothing brand and excited about reviewing new products. Participants will need to keep the product details private until launch and sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA). It’s also important to follow the deadlines and embargo dates set by Nothing to ensure information about the devices is shared at the right time.
There are a few key conditions to keep in mind. The review devices will be provided on a loan basis, meaning they must be returned after the review period ends. However, you will not need to pay any shipping charges for delivery or return — Nothing will handle that. The program is open only to Indian nationals living in India, and it applies only to the Phone (3) and Headphone (1).
If you’re interested in being part of this program, you can fill out the application form now. The last date to apply is 1st July 2025 at 6:00 PM IST. Applications submitted after this deadline will not be accepted.
Nothing is getting ready to launch its first over-the-ear headphones, called Nothing Headphone (1). These new headphones will be unveiled on July 1, alongside the Nothing Phone (3).
We now have the best look yet at the Nothing Headphone (1) as someone leaked it. As expected from Nothing, the design is different from other headphones.
The standout feature is the two-part earcup design. The top part is an oval-shaped module covered in transparent plastic, sitting on a metallic plate with squared corners. This design is very different from the smooth, round look of other popular headphones like Sony’s WH-1000XM6 or Apple’s AirPods Max.
Some hands-on photos have also appeared online. The real-life images show the headphones with two buttons on the side and one button on the outer earcup. We can also see a 3.5mm cable attached, which means the headphones will support wired connections as well as wireless.
One exciting detail is that the audio of the Headphone (1) will be tuned by KEF, a well-known British company famous for its high-quality speakers and headphones.
There is no detailed information yet about the technical features, but pricing has leaked. The Nothing Headphone (1) is expected to cost $299 in the US, €299 in Europe and Rs. 19,000-Rs. 20,000. Sales are likely to begin on September 30, about two months after the official launch. Buyers will be able to choose between Black and White colors.
Akis, Co-founder of Nothing, said on X (formerly Twitter) that the Headphone (1) will launch in India at the same time as the global launch.
