Codenamed Aerodactyl, the Phone (2a) is expected to be a more budget offering in the company's lineup. Nothing claims the new model borrows elements from the more expensive Phone (2) while also being a "clear upgrade" over the Phone (1) on "every front".

The company also recently released its Glyph Developer Kit, which will allow developers to access the Glyph lighting on the back of Nothing smartphones.
