Nada Phone 2a Plus Now Available In London. Find Out Everything

Nothing recently unveiled its latest smartphone, the Nothing Phone (2a) Plus, and is rolling it out globally in stages. The device is making its first appearance at the company’s brick-and-mortar store in London’s Soho district, priced at £399. Oddly, the phone isn’t listed on Nothing’s online platforms yet. For customers in the United States, the Phone (2a) Plus will be available through Nothing’s US Beta Program starting August 7 at 9am ET, priced at $399.

Indian consumers can purchase the device via Flipkart on the same date, with the base 8GB/256GB model retailing for Rs 27,999 (roughly $334). This new device serves as an incremental upgrade to the Phone 2a (read our full Nothing Phone 2a review here), which premiered earlier this year in March.

However, potential buyers in other regions will need to be patient. There’s been no indication that wider availability information will be released in September. This staggered launch strategy marks an interesting approach for the tech company as it introduces its latest smartphone to different markets.
