London-based smartphone brand Nothing launched a new variant of its budget smartphone called Phone (2a) Special Edition. According to the company, it"s the first Nothing product to feature all three primary colors (red, yellow, and blue) that represent the brand across its hardware lineup.
For instance, red is seen on the right earbud of Nothing audio products; blue is included in Nothing Phone (2a), and blue and yellow are in Nothing Ear (a). Nothing"s Design Director Adam Bates said that the device"s "overall aesthetic references some of our design heroes from the past whilst creating a new expression for a smartphone. Elevating a functional device into a striking piece of art."
The company has been teasing the device through social media posts over the past few days. Nothing shared a dot-style logo of Phone (2a) featuring the three colors, followed by a collage of its primary colors with their hex codes and a sneak peek of the device itself. The posts pretty much made it evident that a new color option for the Phone (2a) was on the way.
