London-based Nothing announced the availability of a new limited edition of its Phone (2a) smartphone. The Nothing Phone (2a) Special Edition (yep, the full name's a mouthful) aims to celebrate primary colors and their role in the company's brand identity. Yellow, Red, and Blue, used so far in other products from the company line-up of electronic devices, come together in this new design and pair with the distinctive Glyph interactive spiel that illuminates the phone's rear.

“We are very happy to unveil Phone (2a) Special Edition, the first product to explore our palette of the primary colours; red, blue and yellow”, said Adam Bates, Design Director at Nothing (and notable Dyson alumnus). “Its 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 new design blends modern minimalism with nostalgic references to classic tech designs. In particular, the combination of bright primary colors with a predominantly white and grey color scheme is reminiscent of retro gadgets from the 1980s and 1990s, such as early PCs or gaming consoles.

Design aside, the Special Edition has the same specs as the Phone (2a): it sports a MediaTek Dimensity 7200 Pro processor, a 5,000 mAh battery, a 6.7” AMOLED display, and a dual 50 MP rear camera. The software is Nothing OS, a minimalistic customization of Android. 
The Phone (2a) Special Edition is available in a limited quantity on Nothing's website with a €379 price tag.
