London-based consumer technology start-up Nothing has confirmed Phone (2a) name for its upcoming smartphone. The company announced the name at its quarterly community update round. Besides, the brand announced that it is launching Glyph Developer Kit, which would allow Android developers to give their apps the ability to control the Glyph Interface. Alongside, the brand confirmed the launch of Buds and Neckband Pro wireless audio accessories under its affordable CMF branding.
“Phone (2a) has been engineered with a focus on providing the optimal daily smartphone experience, doubling down on core user needs, with all of Nothing’s expertise and craftsmanship. Phone (2a), codenamed Aerodactyl, leverages some of the most loved Phone (2) features, while ensuring a clear upgrade compared to Phone (1) on every front,” said Nothing in a press note.
