TheNothing Phone 2a Plus is being fully unveiled tomorrow(July 31), but the company isn’t waiting until then to show at least some of the phone off, with a new teaser image onXrevealing the back of the device.

However, if you’ve seen theNothing Phone 2athen you’ve more or less seen this new phone, as there are no obvious visual differences between them based on this image.

The Nothing Phone 2a Plus is shown with a dual-lens camera in the center of a circular panel, a trio of Glyph lights, and a wavy pattern running down the bottom half of the phone, all of which you’ll also find on the standard Nothing Phone 2a.

So what’s different? Well, this isn’t the first Nothing Phone 2a Plus teaser, and previously the company has revealed that it has a new 50MP front camera (in place of the 2a’s 32MP one), though the rear cameras are once again 50MP.

Powered up performance

The main change though is likely to be in performance, with the Nothing Phone 2a Plus using a MediaTek Dimensity 7350 Pro chipset, which is said to be almost 10% faster than the Dimensity 7200 Pro in the standard Nothing Phone 2a.

There’s still a lot we don’t know about the Nothing Phone 2a Plus, so hopefully there will be some other upgrades too – perhaps to its screen or battery – and ideally without too much of a price rice. If Nothing can pull that off then this might end up being one of thebest cheap phones.

We’ll find out at 2am PT / 5am ET/ 10am BST / 7pm AEST on Wednesday, July 31, as that’s when the Nothing Phone 2a Plus’s launch event kicks off. We’ll bring you all the news from the event, so check in with TechRadar then.
