The dotted outline of the Pokémon shared by Carl is Aerodactyl which is ranked #142 in the Pokedex. This could be a hint at the model number A142 of the expected phone (2a), which was listed on BIS certification a few months ago.
No one has used a Pokémon reference like Abra and Alakazam with Phone (1) and Phone (2) to enable the music visualization feature, which were also easter eggs. The model number of phone (1) is A063 and Abra is #63 in the Pokédex and similarly, the model number of phone (2) is A065 which is a reference to Alakazam whose Pokédex is #65. Aerodactyl is a Pokémon that is faster and stronger than Abra, which also shows that Phone (2a) will be faster and perform better than Phone (1).
The Nothing Phone (2a) is rumored to have a 6.7-inch AMOLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate and a resolution of 1084 x 2412px. The phone (2a) will be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7200 SoC which is an octa-core processor. It is expected to feature a 50MP dual rear camera setup and a 16MP center punch hole selfie camera, a 4920 mAh battery, and Nothing OS 2.5 based on Android 14 out of the box.
Meet the Nothing Phone (2a)!

From the leaked renders and 3D models created by some users, we can clearly suggest that the phone (2A) will have a circular three glyph light setup with dual cameras aligned horizontally at the center of the back. The phone (2A) is expected to be launched in two color variants – White and Black and four storage and RAM variants.
A few days ago, we also got some leaks of the official wallpapers of the phone (2A) and there were rumors that it might launch at MWC 2024. Additionally, the price of the Nothing Phone (2A) is expected to be under €400 (approximately Rs 36,813). ) in the European Union. Carl’s tweet could be the first official hint for the Nothing Phone (2A) and we may get to know more about it in the coming days.
