Nothing launched the glow-in-the-dark Phone (2a) Plus Community Edition at the end of October after a months-long design process. The phone, as the name suggests, was created in collaboration with the community and was limited to 1,000 units. These went on sale earlier today via Nothing’s official website, exclusively to people who pre-registered.
Nothing saw 19,000 interested registrations in 48 countries, and then managed to sell out the Phone (2a) Community Edition in just 15 minutes. That means: only online.
If you desperately want one of these, you have one last chance. There will be a “limited drop” at Nothing Store Soho in London from 11am local time on Saturday 16th November. That’s it, so make sure you get there on time – or even queue up in advance, early iPhone style.
Limited edition smartphones are still quite rare (pun intended), so this is your chance to own a piece of history: Nothing is the first device designed in collaboration with the community. And the fact that it also glows in the dark doesn’t hurt.
The limited edition model is no more expensive than the normal one Nothing Phone (2a) Pluswhich is refreshing. It has 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage and is otherwise identical to the Phone (2a) Plus.
