Turns out the render of the Nothing Phone (2a) was fake

11 February 2024

Last Monday we saw a supposed render of the Nothing Phone (2a), courtesy of @OnLeaks. It turns out that the render isn’t of the upcoming Nothing Phone (2a) but rather of an unreleased Nothing smartphone that never made it. Hence why the render looks so convincing.

Initially, Evan Blass (aka @evleaks) questioned the render as it didn’t make sense given Nothing’s tagline of “See the world through fresh eyes” – a hint at the Nothing Phone (2a)’s redesigned camera island – seen here.

Steve (aka @OnLeaks) himself then acknowledged the render wasn’t real.

Expect the Nothing Phone (2a) to look something more like the render on the right.
