In the pursuit of \u2018bigger and better\u2019, smartphone companies have abandoned the very concept of ergonomics, and phones nowadays are so large and heavy, people quite literally have indented pinky fingers as a result. The iPhone 13 Mini and perhaps the Asus Zenfone 9 were perhaps the last \u2018small\u2019 phones before the concept was retired \u2013 so Nothing decided to do something about it. Or rather, poke fun at it at least.<\/p>\n<p>Meet the Phone (2a) Micro \u2013 an alternative to the Plus and Max phones of today\u2019s world. Announced as a rather fitting April Fool\u2019s Prank, the Phone (2a) Micro is functionally miniscule, measuring probably no larger than a Zippo lighter. However, it still manages to hold up rather well considering its size. The prototype (although we\u2019re 99% certain it\u2019s CGI) features a rather usable (yet tiny) screen that still somehow manages to be usable. The video above is a tiny (no pun intended) demonstration of the phone in action\u2026 and it also takes aim at major smartphone companies for abandoning the relatively large (again, no pun intended) audience of people with small hands!<\/p>\n<p>Designer: <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/in.nothing.tech\/\">Nothing<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-483020\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/04\/483018\/nothing_phone_2a_micro_1.jpg\" alt width=\"1280\" height=\"854\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2024\/04\/01\/nothing-pokes-fun-at-apple-for-discontinuing-the-iphone-mini-with-the-phone-2a-micro\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Nothing pokes fun at Apple for discontinuing the iPhone Mini with the Phone (2a) Micro\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/04\/483018\/nothing_phone_2a_micro_1.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-483021\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/04\/483018\/nothing_phone_2a_micro_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"854\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2024\/04\/01\/nothing-pokes-fun-at-apple-for-discontinuing-the-iphone-mini-with-the-phone-2a-micro\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Nothing pokes fun at Apple for discontinuing the iPhone Mini with the Phone (2a) Micro\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/04\/483018\/nothing_phone_2a_micro_2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-483021\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/04\/483018\/nothing_phone_2a_micro_2.jpg\" alt width=\"1280\" height=\"854\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2024\/04\/01\/nothing-pokes-fun-at-apple-for-discontinuing-the-iphone-mini-with-the-phone-2a-micro\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Nothing pokes fun at Apple for discontinuing the iPhone Mini with the Phone (2a) Micro\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/04\/483018\/nothing_phone_2a_micro_2.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-3\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<amp-ad width=\"100vw\" height=\"320\" type=\"adsense\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0648786275385337\" data-ad-slot=\"6683677248\" data-auto-format=\"rspv\" data-full-width><\/p>\n<div overflow><\/div>\n<p><\/amp-ad><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-1\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\" type=\"600220286f8681eaacb0ee17-text\/javascript\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"600220286f8681eaacb0ee17-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Roughly 3 inches tall, the Phone (2a) Micro comes with the same design as its predecessor, albeit scaled down. It ditches the dual camera on the back for a single one (there\u2019s really no real estate for 2 lenses), but still retains every aspect of the phone\u2019s design including even its Glyph Interface (which apparently works, in the video demo). Flip the phone over and you\u2019ve got a virtually bezel-less screen (clearly even the tiniest of bezels weigh heavily on a phone that size), but the lack of bezels is made up by a whopper of a front-facing camera, which eats into a significant portion of the display.

Sure, sometimes a company like Volkswagen DOES crack a joke about rebranding to Voltswagen, sending economies and stock markets into a flurry, but overall, larger companies have sort of lost their sense of humor (Google used to crack elaborate jokes every year before Sundar Pichai took the reigns). However, it\u2019s good to see newer companies taking things in their stride and trying to engage with their fans and communities using humor. Whether it\u2019s Nothing\u2019s tiny phone, or Razer\u2019s chair with robotic arms, a good corporate joke just makes large brands feel more human, allowing people to resonate and connect with them on a deeper level\u2026 but as far as the Phone (2a) Micro goes, does it have a 3.5mm audio jack, though??<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-483023\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/04\/483018\/nothing_phone_2a_micro_4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2024\/04\/01\/nothing-pokes-fun-at-apple-for-discontinuing-the-iphone-mini-with-the-phone-2a-micro\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Nothing pokes fun at Apple for discontinuing the iPhone Mini with the Phone (2a) Micro\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/04\/483018\/nothing_phone_2a_micro_4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-483023\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/04\/483018\/nothing_phone_2a_micro_4.jpg\" alt width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2024\/04\/01\/nothing-pokes-fun-at-apple-for-discontinuing-the-iphone-mini-with-the-phone-2a-micro\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Nothing pokes fun at Apple for discontinuing the iPhone Mini with the Phone (2a) Micro\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/04\/483018\/nothing_phone_2a_micro_4.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-4\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<amp-ad width=\"100vw\" height=\"320\" type=\"adsense\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0648786275385337\" data-ad-slot=\"1017606968\" data-auto-format=\"rspv\" data-full-width><\/p>\n<div overflow><\/div>\n<p><\/amp-ad><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\" type=\"600220286f8681eaacb0ee17-text\/javascript\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"600220286f8681eaacb0ee17-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"swp-hidden-panel-wrap\" style=\"display: none; visibility: collapse; opacity: 0\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"swp-content-locator\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-5\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<amp-ad width=\"100vw\" height=\"320\" type=\"adsense\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0648786275385337\" data-ad-slot=\"9466393889\" data-auto-format=\"rspv\" data-full-width><\/p>\n<div overflow><\/div>\n<p><\/amp-ad>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"vcard author\"><br \/>\n<span>By<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Sarang Sheth<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
