The Nothing Phone (2a) Plus Community Edition is making its way into the Philippines. It is Nothing’s first co-created product with its followers where they were able to tweak the hardware, packaging, and even marketing. This shapes they smartphone by the imagination of the community.
Its hardware design has been tweaked by Astrid Vanhuyse and Kenta Akasaka in collaboration with Nothing’s Design Director Adam Bates and CMF Designer Lucy Birley. Using green-tinted phosphorescent materials, the elements of the back emit a soft glow in dark environments without any power source.
Andres Mateos uses a mix of AI tools and digital design to create the “Connected Collection” wallpapers. He, along with Nothing’s Software Design Director Mladen M Hoyss and Software Designer Ken Giang, expanded the collection into six wall papers.
For packaging, Ian Henry Simmonds reinterpreted Nothing’s design with his “Less is More” concept. The final packaging includes reflective elements which glow in dark environments to complement its design.
Sony Palma brings everything together with her campaign concept “Find your Light. Capture your Light.” This campaign echoes the brand’s first launch where “pure instinct” was at the campaign’s center. She worked with Nothing’s Creative Team to develop a suite of assets, including a film campaign and digital assets.
There will only be a thousand units of the Nothing Phone (2a) Plus Community Edition, 25 of which will come to the Philippines. It will be priced at PhP 24,990 and will be available through Nothing’s Official Shopee Store on November 16, 2024.
