The Nothing Phone (2a) is a sub-flagship with a 6.7-inch 120 Hz OLED and the Glyph LED interface on its transparent rear. Its USB-C port runs at USB 2.0 speed (480 Mbps) and does not expose DisplayPort Alt Mode — wired display output requires a casting adapter, not a simple USB-C-to-HDMI cable. Wired charging tops out at 45 W USB PD/PPS; there is no wireless charging on this generation. There is no 3.5 mm headphone jack and no microSD slot, so Bluetooth or a USB-C DAC/dongle is required for wired audio.
Mid-range Android with USB-C 2.0 (no DP Alt Mode), 45 W USB PD charging, no headphone jack and no microSD.
