The Moto Edge 50 Fusion has landed in India with a price tag starting from Rs 22,999. This is Rs 3,000 less than the Nothing Phone 2a. For cheaper, the Edge 50 Fusion provides a fast charger and case right in the box. Meanwhile, the Phone 2a has none of those. However, the Phone 2a comes with a cleaner software experience, more power with the Dimensity 7200 Pro as well as a great ultra-wide-angle sensor. The Edge 50 Fusion, on the other hand, brings a formidable primary rear camera sensor and premium design.
Nothing has launched Android 15 Beta 1 for their Nothing Phone 2a. This upgrade does not include any new features even though the community post does mention a new boot animation and wallpapers. It also breaks the fingerprint scanner and does not include any NothingOS specific widgets, features and apps.

When Nothing launched its Ear and Ear (a) last month, these earbuds arrived with ChatGPT integration as a highlight feature. However, that was limited to only these two earbuds in the brand's catalog. Now, the brand has announced that it will be making the integration available to all of its earbuds on May 21. But, to make use of the feature, users will need to be on a Nothing Phone.
CMF's next phone has been leaked yet again and this time we have some specifications, pricing and other details. It will be budget phone featuring a 6.5-inch display with Gorilla Glass protection, 5,000 mAh battery, single rear camera, MediaTek Dimensity SoC and will run a cut down version of Nothing OS with 3+4 years of software updates.

Nothing has unveiled a new "Designed for India" Blue colorway for the Nothing Phone (2a). This India-exclusive shade is a deep blue variant that can appears lighter or subdued based on the surrounding light conditions. It's a stylish addition to the Phone (2a)'s existing palette, which consists of Black, White, and Milky White color variants.
The Ultra XDR feature in Nothing OS 2.5.5 is a format that allows for more detail in bright and dark areas of images. It's a rebrand of the Ultra HDR feature found in Android 14 and above. The feature can be enabled in the camera settings and results in brighter images with more detail, but at the cost of larger file sizes. It's not exclusive to Nothing devices, with Samsung and OnePlus using similar features.
CMF may be launching its first smartphone. A new device with model number "A015" and codename "Tetris" was spotted, possibly indicating a budget-friendly CMF smartphone. Since the model number does not match up with previous Nothing smartphones and the brand name appeared as "CMF by Nothing" in BIS certification almost confirming that it is not the upcoming Phone (3).
Nothing is rolling out built-in ChatGPT support for Nothing Phone (2). The latest Ear and Ear (a) audio products support it out of the box, and the features are coming soon to other Nothing Phones by the end of April, and to all Nothing audio products in June.
Will the Nothing Phone (3) Be the Flagship Killer We Desire? I Don’t Think So

Given the launch of Nothing Phone (3) is due in Q2 this year, based on what the firm has done so far, you'd expect Nothing to launch a flagship killer to fill the void, but here's why we think there's barely any chance that might happen. Our reasons to believe the same are Nothing has to please people in terms of quality and price both. Hence, the Phone (3) won't be as cheap to be called a flagship killer, and not as spec-rich to be called a flagship.
The Nothing Ear (a) has gone official for Rs 7,999 in India as the brand's latest TWS ANC earbuds. For that price, you get to see a great battery life, commendable ANC, and a bass-heavy sound signature if you're into it. However, for Rs 3,000 less, the OPPO Enco Air 3 Pro just seems like a more value-for-money offering, with a more balanced audio output. If you ask me, it definitely feels like a better choice over the Ear (a).
Nothing has launched the Ear (a) and Ear TWS earphones. Nothing is marketing the Ear (a) as a budget offering with better sound and ANC than the Ear (2). The Ear (a) also has LDAC support for better sound quality. The Nothing Ear has all the features of the Ear (a) but with better Ceramic drivers, wireless charging, and sound quality.
After Nothing's announcement about its two new upcoming audio products the Ear and Ear (a), images and price leaks of both the TWS-es have been leaked. The Ear(a) will launch in yellow as Nothing might be partnering with Playdate and could cost €100. The Nothing Ear will have two colors — Black and White, a similar design to the Ear (2)'s, and will cost €150.
Nothing stepped foot in the consumer tech market with an audio product and has since come a long way. The company has announced that it will go all in into audio this year and will launch two new products — Nothing Ear and Ear (a). The Nothing Ear will be targeted at audiophiles whereas the Nothing Ear (a) will be your pair of daily earbuds.
CMF Buds are the latest budget TWS by the Nothing's sub-brand. They offer a lot of features like 42 dB of ANC, large 12.4mm drivers, an unorthodox design and Ultra Bass 2.0 for those bass heavy tracks. So in this read, I deliver my in depth review of these buds after a week of usage and share my thoughts to help you make the decision of whether you should buy them or not.
The Secret of Nothing’s Next Product to be Revealed on April 18!

Nothing previously posted a video of a Beetle and a Frog with the frog jumping and leaping forward in the end and has today yet again posted an image of the same two species with an announcement date of April 18. Beetle was the mascot of the Nothing Ear (2), so the chances that we're getting the Nothing Ear (3) soon are pretty high.
Two indie developers have come up with a Nothing-inspired dialer app that is now available for Android users to download on the Google Play Store. The app has Nothing's classic dot-matrix font style going, with a tinge of red here and there. You also get to see a Quick Notes feature that allows you to take notes when on a call. In addition, you can also record calls discreetly within the app. The makers of the app are also working on introducing other Nothing-inspired apps.
This ‘Essential’ Feature Makes the Nothing Phone’s Glyph Lights Worth It for Me
Sagnik Das Gupta
View quick summary
Nothing launched its mid-range Nothing Phone 2a earlier this month, and I finally decided to try out the signature Glyph interface. While the Glyph lights on the back were good and all with its music composer, timers, and more, the feature that took the cake for me was the Essential alert feature for notification alerts.
If the Nothing Phone (2a) is not your cup of tea, there are a few alternatives you can buy. Phones like the POCO X6, Motorola Edge 40 Neo, iQOO Z7 Pro, Redmi Note 13 Pro, and OnePlus Nord CE 3 are all great mid-range devices under Rs 25,000 and come with features that easily rival the Phone (2a).
In a world with distracting colorful UIs, the Glyph lights draw a line to help you remain focused. There are plenty of things you can do with Glyphs besides using it for notifications, so here's our guide on the various uses of Nothing's Glyph interface, the only guide you will need. Some of the best Glyph features are Flip to Glyph, Custom Glyph ringtones, and Glyph Progress tracker.
Glyph lights offer lots of unique use cases on Nothing phones. From helping users to know the status of something on the fly, to silently alerting them when notifications arrive, the features that use the Glyph interface could be extremely helpful in scenarios when the user would usually get distracted. However, if you want to turn them on/off, there are four ways to do it — from the Settings app, Quick Settings, when receiving calls, and using the Bedtime Schedule option.
The Nothing Phone 2a is an all rounder near-perfect budget phone that offers an unparalleled software experience, commendable battery backup, good cameras and a stable performance throughout. However, it comes with its own shortcomings. For starters, it comes with a plastic frame and back panel, for which it feels a tad cheap in hand. You also don't get a charger or case in the box. Keeping these things aside, the device ticks almost all the boxes and is an easy recommendation for those looking for a good budget phone.

Nothing has choose the MediaTek Dimensity 7200 Pro over Qualcomm chipsets such as the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 and Snapdragon 782G for its latest mid-ranger, Nothing Phone (2a). We did extensive benchmark testing for all three chipsets and found that Dimensity 7200 Pro is a capable SoC and delivers good performance with unmatched efficiency. It packs newer ARM cores and the GPU performance is better than the competing chipsets.
Nothing Phone 2a comes with a new feature called Wallpaper Studio which uses AI to generate wallpapers. It can be found within the customisation menu and lets you create backgrounds by mixing and matching different effects and styles. You can even download the wallpapers locally to your device.
The Nothing Phone (2a) has finally gone official and will soon be up for grabs. From a better processor to an improved camera setup, it brings a bunch of upgrades over its predecessor, the Nothing Phone 1. We also get to see new wallpapers and ringtones onboard. In this guide, we check out 7 new Nothing Phone (2a) wallpapers that come with the device and make them available for you in high quality.

Nothing CEO Carl Pei started a viral marketing campaign on X by renaming his account to Carl Bhai, pulling together the Indian tech fraternity. This trend gained a lot of attention and engagement, creating hype for the Nothing Phone 2a in a price-sensitive market like India. But was this just a planned cheesy marketing campaign and did it work out in the favor of Nothing.
Nothing has officially announced the launch date of it's upcoming mid-range device, the Nothing Phone (2a). The phone will be launching on March 5, unlike what the previous rumors suggested. The announcement is titled "Fresh Eyes," which could be referring to the phone's horizontal dual camera design.
In Nothing's latest community update, the company has finally confirmed they're bringing a new phone dubbed Phone (2a), codenamed Aerodactyl. Phone (2a)'s existence was first confirmed months ago by leakers on X (formerly Twitter). Additionally, Nothing's sub-brand CMF has also teased new Neckband Pro and Buds.
Nothing is expected to introduce an affordable smartphone, possibly called the Nothing Phone 2a and its design and possible specs have now been leaked. This showcases a new design, which includes horizontally-placed rear cameras, as opposed to the vertically camera setup of the Phone (1) and the Phone (2). It might be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7200 chipset and could launch at MWC 2024.
