Nothing has unveiled the Phone 2a Plus Community Edition, a limited-edition smartphone co-created with its most passionate followers. This glow-in-the-dark device marks a major milestone as Nothing’s first community-driven product, where fans directly collaborated with the Nothing team to shape every aspect—from hardware design to marketing.
In a statement shared with the media today, Nothing said the Community Edition Project—which kicked off in March—attracted over 900 entries from 47 countries. Winners Astrid Vanhuyse and Kenta Akasaki (hardware design), Andrés Mateos (wallpaper design), Ian Henry Simmonds (packaging design), and Sonya Palma (marketing campaign) worked closely with Nothing’s design, creative, and marketing teams in London to bring their concepts to life. Their efforts resulted in a striking glow-in-the-dark version of the Phone 2a Plus, offering a unique twist to the original.
With this project, Nothing is reimagining how companies and communities can collaborate, creating a future where the boundary between brand and users dissolves. This initiative represents the first major step toward co-developing hardware, software, and content with Nothing’s fans, the company reiterated.
How to get the Nothing Phone 2a Plus Community Edition
The Phone 2a Plus Community Edition will be available exclusively to community members for Rs 29,999 (12GB/256GB). Only 1,000 units will be produced globally, making it one of the most exclusive products from Nothing.
On November 12, registered community members will receive invitation codes on a first-come, first-served basis. Those who actively participated in the project will receive priority access. Interested buyers can register through the Nothing community platform to increase their chances of securing an invite.
Additionally, an offline drop event will be organised exclusively for community members. Details about the event will be shared soon via Nothing India’s social channels.
The Community Edition will be available across multiple markets, except for Phone 2a in Japan, which is not included in the release.
Spec-wise, it is identical to the existing model which is to say that it has a 6.7-inch OLED screen, MediaTek Dimensity 7350 Pro processor, 5,000mAh battery with 50W fast charging, and 50MP front and back cameras.
