Much ado about the Nothing Phone (2), landing in South Africa soon
When Nothing brought to life its second smartphone — the insipidly-named Nothing Phone (2) — we won’t pretend it didn’t sting just a smidge. While the rest of the world was digging into the Phone 2, we were stuck with the country’s reliably expensive grey importers to bring the devices in. That’s changing soon. The flagship Nothing
Phone (2) and mid-range
Phone (2a) are launching in South Africa as soon as June of this year.
We usually hold off on our thoughts on a phone’s design until the device is in hand. When it comes to the Phone 2, however, it’s different. The somewhat barebones abstract design, see-through backing to the nuts and bolts of the operation and customizable Glyph Interface comprising 11 LEDs are arguably the company’s whole schtick. Sure, it’s got other features going for it — but a good first impression is always important.
Both the Nothing Phone (2) and Nothing Phone (2a) will be available for purchase from “early June” according to
Cernotech, the distributors responsible for officially bringing the phones over the border. Both will be available through Vodacom and possibly another major operator at launch while Cernotech will be selling both devices at retail prices on their site
here. Speaking of which, here’s what you can expect to pay when the phones launch in June:
- Nothing Phone (2) 12/256GB –R16,100
- Nothing Phone (2) 12/512GB – R17,800
- Nothing Phone (2a) 8/128GB – R8,700
- Nothing Phone (2a) 12/256GB – R10,000
