PVT units, a subset of pre-production devices, are used to thoroughly test the functionality and quality of a product before mass production. They are typically manufactured in small batches and are not intended for public sale. Although PVT units usually don't exactly show the final design of a device, this time around, they do confirm the new horizontal camera layout.
The streamlined specs, featuring, for instance, a more affordable chipset than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 in the Phone (2), could position the Phone (2a) with a reasonable $400 price tag. At this price point, the device will stand out with its distinctive design and a clean Android experience. The Nothing Phone (2a) could compete effectively with budget-friendly smartphone options like the Google Pixel 7a and Samsung's Galaxy A54.
