# Game Console-Inspired Phones Nothing Announced the Phone (2a) Special Edition with a Unique Design By Colin Smith | Published 2024-05-29 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phone-2a-special-edition References: [nothingmunity](https://nothing.community/d/10897-introducing-phone-2a-special-edition) & [ca-en.nothing.tech](https://ca-en.nothing.tech/pages/phone-2a)  Nothing, the innovative tech company founded by Carl Pei, has officially unveiled the Phone (2a) Special Edition. This limited-edition model marks a departure from Nothing’s previous transparent smartphone designs by introducing bold primary color accents. For the first time, Nothing has combined red, yellow, and blue—the fundamental colors—into a single device. The transparent aesthetic that Nothing is known for remains at the heart of the Phone (2a) Special Edition, but the addition of these vibrant colors adds a new dimension to the design. Adam Bates, Nothing’s Design Director, expressed excitement over this exploration of the primary color palette, elevating the smartphone from a functional device to a striking piece of art. The Phone (2a) Special Edition maintains the same specifications as the original Phone (2a), featuring a 6.7-inch 1080x2412 120 Hz AMOLED screen, a Dimensity 7200 Pro SoC, a 50 MP main camera with OIS, a 50 MP ultrawide camera, a 32 MP selfie camera, and a 5,000 mAh battery with 45W wired charging support. The Nothing Phone (2a) Special Edition is available for purchase starting today in limited quantities through Nothing’s official website. Pricing starts at £349, €379, or INR 27,999, depending on the region.
