Simultaneously, a post on Nothing's India-specific X account confirms that the handset will also debut in India on the same date. A dynamic event page on Nothing's website further indicates that the smartphone will be available for purchase through Flipkart.

While the teaser does not divulge additional details about the upcoming Nothing Phone 2a, it showcases two blinking white dots against a black backdrop, followed by the words "Fresh. Eyes." Subsequently, five pairs of white dots blink and focus on the words, hinting at potential references to the rear camera setup on the upcoming smartphone.

Previous leaks suggest that the Nothing Phone 2a will be powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 7200 chip and will run on the Android 14-based Nothing OS 2.5 out-of-the-box. Additionally, it is rumored to feature a 6.7-inch full-HD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a 50-megapixel dual rear camera setup. More details about the smartphone are expected to emerge in the days leading up to its launch.
