Nothing Phone 2a Plus Community Edition Debuts Glow-in-the-Dark Design
Nothing Phone 2a Plus Community Edition was finally launched in India on Wednesday. The latest device is a special edition of the Nothing Phone 2a Plus that became official in the country earlier this year. The Nothing Phone 2a Plus Community Edition is a culmination of the Community Edition Project, which began in March this year. This special edition phone was designed with help from the Nothing community in phases including hardware design, wallpaper design, packaging design and marketing campaign. It has a glow-in-the-dark design with a green phosphorescent material coating on the back.
The price of Nothing Phone 2a Plus Community Edition has been set at Rs. 29,999 for the 12GB RAM + 256GB storage model. Only 1,000 units of the phone will be available for purchase. Besides India, the new model will be available in the UK, Europe and the US.
In comparison, the standard Phone 2a Plus went official in India in July with a price tag of Rs. 27,999 for the base 8GB + 256GB RAM and storage configuration and Rs. 29,999 for the 12GB RAM + 256GB storage model.
Nothing has also unveiled the Nothing Phone 2a Community Edition in Japan with a price tag of JYP 55,800 (approximately Rs. 30,000).
As mentioned, the Nothing Phone 2a Plus Community Edition was co-designed by Nothing and its community members as part of the Community Edition Project. Nothing says it received more than 900 fan submissions from 47 countries to customize the handset. The project lasted six months and included ideas from the community on the design, wallpaper, packaging and marketing of this special edition phone.
The phosphorescent back panel is the highlight of Nothing Phone 2a Plus Community Edition, which glows green in the dark. The phone has light strips around the rear cameras. The new device has new wallpapers and updated packaging that shows off the glow-in-the-dark design.
