Nothing Phone (2a) is here, Galaxy A55 and A35 incoming, Week 10 in review

Welcome to your week 10 recap. The Nothing Phone (2a) is official after weeks of teasers. It has a classic Nothing design with a semi-translucent rear panel, three Glyph LED lights, and a horizontal dual camera that Nothing dubs the Eyes. The phone packs a custom Dimensity 7200 Pro built on TSMC's newest 4nm process and a 6.78-inch 10-bit AMOLED display. The phone runs Nothing OS 2.5 on top of Android 14, with a promised 3 years of Android updates, and 4 years of security updates. The phone ships from next week (March 12), starting at €329, £319, or INR 23,999.

SAmsung's Galaxy A55 and Galaxy A35 will become official next week on March 11. We saw early listings of the phones. Per those, the A55 starts at €480 for a 128GB model, while the A35 is €380. We also saw official-looking press renders, and have a good idea that the Galaxy A55 will use an Exynos 148-, while the A35 will opt for an Exynos 1380. The pair pack 5,000mAh batteries and have 6.6-inch 120Hz-ready Super AMOLED screens.

Finally, CAD-based renders revealed what the fourth-gen iPhone SE could look like - an iPhone 14 body with a notched OLED upfront. These CAD renders do not have an Action button or Mute switch next to the volume keys, raising the question of whether these images are correct and why Apple would do this if they really are. The phone is expected to arrive in 2025, but we might see it earlier since industry insiders are already getting details about the phone.
