Turns out the render of the Nothing Phone (2a) was fake
Last Monday we saw a supposed render of the Nothing Phone (2a), courtesy of @OnLeaks. It turns out that the render isn’t of the upcoming Nothing Phone (2a) but rather of an unreleased Nothing smartphone that never made it. Hence why the render looks so convincing.
Initially, Evan Blass (aka @evleaks) questioned the render as it didn’t make sense given Nothing’s tagline of “See the world through fresh eyes” – a hint at the Nothing Phone (2a)’s redesigned camera island – seen here.
Steve (aka @OnLeaks) himself then acknowledged the render wasn’t real.
Sooo… Seems like my #Nothing Phone 2a leak was wrong because…
THIS actually ISN’T the #NothingPhone2a! (very fake look through non official press render) Sorry…😅

Expect the Nothing Phone (2a) to look something more like the render on the right.
See what I mean? Which design does the tagline “See the world through fresh eyes” seem to favor? pic.twitter.com/9JIobwviI4
