The company’s first budget-friendly smartphone, the Nothing Phone (2a), was launched in India last week and, as expected, has taken the smartphone market by storm. The company had earlier said that 60,000 units of the phone were sold within the first hour on the first day of sale (March 12). Now the CEO of Nothing confirmed that they managed to sell a total of 1,00,000 units of Nothing Phone (2a) on the opening day of the sale.
Nothing Phone (2a) crossed the 100,000 units mark on its first day of sales
Nothing’s Chief Executive Officer Carl Pei happily announced on social media that its new mid-range smartphone, the Nothing Phone (2A), crossed the milestone of 1,00,000 units on its first day of sale. It has entered the market as an affordable alternative to the flagship Nothing Phone (2) launched last year, but the company has not skimped on the handset’s specifications for the price. The Nothing Phone (2A) features a large 6.7-inch OLED display and a 50-megapixel dual rear camera system, which is also seen in its higher-end models. The rear panel of the phone also retains the company’s signature Glyph interface with LED lights.
Besides, the Nothing Phone (2A)-an attractive feature is Nothing’s custom-made MediaTek Dimension 7200 Pro processor. Although the company claims that it offers 10% more efficiency, in real life its performance will probably be similar to the standard Dimension 7200 or 7200 Ultra. Because all three processors are built on the same 4 nanometer manufacturing process.

The front of Nothing Phone (2a) has a 6.7-inch OLED display with FullHD+ resolution, 120 Hz refresh rate, 1,300 nits peak brightness, HDR10 support.
