the white bezels are so clean... I want more plastic phones

[@AndrewPL5]

Right! I don't understand why phone makers don't want to make plastic phones anymore. Those were my favourite and they are way more durable, and obviously cheaper. I miss the iPhone 5C, I had a white and a blue one, it was my favourite and most comfortable phone. And you won't lose out on wireless charging as that will still work. Not to mention it's probably way easier to repair a plastic phone. Most people use a case anyway, so why is there a need for a fancy glass phone when you never see or feel it? I'd be way more comfortable rocking a caseless phone if it was plastic.

[@benliberti]

​@@AndrewPL5I'm an Android user these days but I think the iPhone 5c was one of the best looking phones ever. Maybe polycarbonate phones will make a comeback at some point.

It would be interesting if Nothing released through its own sub-brand CMF a budget smartphone around $250-300 (Galaxy A25) in white, black and bright orange to go with the CMF Buds Pro headphones

[@th83]

I agree! Since the phone 2a already has a plastic back and plastic frame, they could re-release it as a CMF phone and make it in solid colors to match their other products. Delete the glyph lights but keep everything else the same and sell it for $299. I'd buy one in orange in a heartbeat just to match my orange CMF earbuds lol

[@jakubmotyka900]

​@@th83the glyphs is they're marketing without it wouldn't be nothing because there would be nothing special and recognizable,but maybe the could go down more with the specs like get idk dimensity 1200 and worser camera but I think that without glyphs it would not be that special

[@Monk4Life1]

Being in the US I was going to order the Nothing Phone 2a from the Nothing "Developer" Program. I changed my mind after seeing you only have a 14 day warranty after receiving the phone and no after sales service. Nothing did this with the US Nothing Phone 1 Beta program too but the Phone 1 was heavily discounted and didn't bother me at that time due to this discount. I think this is a horrible way to introduce the 2a to the US. It's a fully working phone just like the international models but forgoing the warranty under a "development" tagline and leaving out the full warranty and charging the same price for the "normal" 2a is unprofessional. I understood the Nothing Phone 1 Beta program as it was just $299 at that time along with it being out internationally for a while to see if there were any major flaws and is why I ordered that one.
