Nothing Ear, Ear (a): Leaked Specs, Design
The report comes from Android Headlines, according to whom the Nothing Ear and Nothing Ear (a) are going to be quite similar in terms of design. They’ll borrow the design language of their predecessors, where the Nothing Ear seems indistinguishable from the Nothing Ear (2). The Nothing Ear will serve as the successor to the ear (2) while the Ear (a) is a completely new product.
The ear (a) also has the same transparent design but with a revamped case that is rectangular in shape and not square as its sibling. Moreover, it’s going to be available in a yellow colour which is a first for Nothing as the brand has made only black and white products till now. The yellow color is meant to be more of an eco-friendly design for the Nothing Ear (a).
