Nothing Phone 2a Plus Community Edition was finally launched in India on Wednesday. The latest handset is a special edition of the Nothing Phone 2a Plus that went official in the country earlier this year. The Nothing Phone 2a Plus Community Edition is a culmination of the Community Edition Project, which began in March this year. This special edition phone was designed with help from the Nothing community in stages including hardware design, wallpaper design, packaging design, and marketing campaign. It has a glow-in-the-dark design with a green phosphorescent material coating at the rear.
The price of Nothing Phone 2a Plus Community Edition is set at Rs. 29,999 for the 12GB RAM + 256GB storage model. Only 1,000 units of the phone will be available for purchase. Besides India, the new model will be available in the UK, Europe, and the US.
For comparison, the standard Phone 2a Plus went official in India in July with a price tag of Rs. 27,999 for the base 8GB + 256GB RAM and storage configuration and Rs. 29,999 for the 12GB RAM + 256GB storage model.
Nothing has also unveiled the Nothing Phone 2a Community Edition in Japan with a price tag of JYP 55,800 (roughly Rs. 30,000).
As mentioned, the Nothing Phone 2a Plus Community Edition is co-designed by Nothing and its community members as part of the Community Edition Project. Nothing says it received over 900 fan entries from 47 countries to customise the handset. The project spanned over six months and took ideas from the community about the design, wallpaper, packaging, and marketing of this special edition phone.
