Hot on the heels of the Phone (2a) launch in India, Carl Pei-led Nothing has introduced an India-exclusive Blue colour variant of the smartphone. The Nothing Phone (2a) was previously available only in Black and White colours, but now, buyers can opt for a Blue shade as well. This new variant is Nothing's most affordable product to date, effectively priced at Rs 19,999 for the 8GB + 128GB variant. However, this price will be applicable for a single day, May 2, when it will go on its first sale on Flipkart. After this, the Blue Edition will likely be offered at the same price as the other colour options. This indicates that the base 8GB + 128GB will go back to its original pricing of Rs 23,999, while the mid-spec 8GB + 256GB and top-spec 12GB + 256GB variants will be available for Rs 25,999 and Rs 27,999, respectively.
Moreover, there will be a Zero Hour live sale for the Nothing Phone (2a) Blue Edition, where buyers can win CMF audio products alongside the purchase. Other than the cosmetic upgrades, the Blue Edition remains the same.

Under the hood, the Nothing Phone (2a) Blue Edition gets an octa-core 4nm MediaTek Dimensity 7200 Pro SoC paired with LPDDR4X RAM and UFS 2.2 storage options. The device runs on Android 14-based Nothing OS 2.5.5, and promises three years of Android updates and four years of security patches.
Camera-wise, the rear Nothing Phone (2a) Blue Edition offers two 50-megapixel sensors at the rear – a main sensor with f/1.88 aperture and an ultra-wide angle lens with f/2.2 aperture. On the front, you get a 32-megapixel camera for selfies and video chats. The mid-range smartphone carries up to 256GB of inbuilt storage, and features a 6.7-inch full-HD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate and Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection.
