Nothing ditches Qualcomm, goes with MediaTek for the Phone (2a)

Nothing says it considered the Snapdragon 7s Gen and 782G, but it ultimately chose the Dimensity 7200 Pro for the Phone (2a).

With Carl Pei categorically stating on X that the phone wouldn't feature the Dimensity 7200 — denying the litany of leaks up to that point — there was a belief that the (2a) could use an all-new design by Qualcomm. In the video linked above, Nothing's product team talks about the changes to the Dimensity 7200 Pro, stating that the brand "co-engineered" the platform with MediaTek. While Pei's statement is technically true in that the Phone (2a) is not using the Dimensity 7200, the 7200 Pro is nothing more than a rebrand, and it shouldn't be any different in real-world use — but I'm willing to be proven wrong.
