Nothing will launch its first Community Edition smartphone at the end of this month, the Carl Pei led brand confirmed on Tuesday. The upcoming handset is the culmination of the 'Nothing Phone 2a Community Edition Project' that started in March this year. As part of this initiative, the UK-based brand has taken design, wallpaper, and packaging ideas from the community. The original Nothing Phone 2a was unveiled earlier this year with a MediaTek Dimensity 7200 Pro SoC under the hood.

Through X, Nothing announced that it will unveil the Nothing Phone 2a Community Edition smartphone during their next quarterly update set for October 30 at 11:00 GMT (4:30pm IST).

For those new, the development of Nothing Phone 2a Community Edition started in March after the formal launch of Nothing Phone 2a. The project, where users are being asked to build a special-edition design of the Phone 2a, spanned over six months and involved four stages. The first stage focused on hardware design, the second involved wallpapers, the third included packaging for the new phone, and finally, the last stage focused on marketing campaigns.

Nothing has listed the winners of the Nothing Community Edition project on its website. The final design of the Nothing Phone 2a Community Edition has a Phosphorescence concept with a green finish that glows in the dark. The wallpapers, packaging, and marketing campaigns follow a similar theme.

Aside from the new design, wallpaper and packaging, the internals of the Nothing Phone 2a Community Edition model are expected to be identical to the standard Phone 2a.
