Nothing Phone 2A | Unboxing & 5 Day Review

[@quchi7232]

Now we need a Nothing tablet.

[@pvndavibes]

i agree. I just got a samsung galaxy tab a9+ I think it is and it sucks honestly. no OS is as good as nothing now.

[@vakama94]

And a Nothing Watch with WearOS

[@endid]

I totally agree, but I think that a mini (or at least not huge) version of a flagship or model like the 2a would be great. That's the only reason I haven't gotten a Nothing phone at this point.

[@FluufyPvPTM]

Would you consider an iPhone 12

[@OniiRem]

@@FluufyPvPTM i would, but I prefer android phones because i grew with it and apple software can be a bit restricting

[@joshuellejulian8058]

​@@FluufyPvPTM ip 12 is a bit too outdated now. If you're considering buying an older ip model, the oldest one i suggest is 13 as it has a high refresh rate and the processor is still good + 2 more years of software support.

For me that 0,01% is the fact that the phone is huge lol (and to whoever's about to comment 'who asked,' you're not special)

Nothing phone 2a looks great, and is just right for the price, the only problem is that the phone is way too big, I think reducing the size to 6.0-6.1 would make this phone perfect

[@MrOrtmeier]

I think they knocked it out of the park with this one. Phone 1 and 2 were too expensive in my opinion for a new brand but this 2a is priced extremely competitively, and probably has the best design and cameras in this segment. The back design is lickalicious - Great job by the designers - and unique. I think they will sell a boatload!

[@camotech1314]

It's already selling loads and it's only on pre-order currently 😮

[@TechSpurt]

I mean hardly nobody use those anymore in 2024. Phones have plenty of storage and most people who need more go for the higher option or pay cloud storage. If we need to transfer we use OTG it's more practical than microsd anyways

[@chronophobic]

​@@MainInternetUser you're right but human nature is entitled, so even if they don't need it, they will want it, Because they used to have it, it became their right. By not giving what they wants is a gesture of violating their right. A child will cry if you take away his toy, even the one he is not playing with. You see Apple stand their ground since day 1, you don't see iPhone user ask for expendable memory, because they never had one. No, I'm not praising Apple, i too would like expendable memory and an audio jack. But i will not crying like a child condemning those companies that don't provide those.

Awesome review mate! Why the trend is 6.7 inch ?! If Nothing launched a 6 inch phone, I would buy it day 0

I think Nothing has the correct idea with the smaller camera bump. By end of next year that will be the next trend that everyone will be attempting. Zero camera bump.

I'm a bit disappointed with the size, I was hoping for a smaller model and not the exactly same one as the Phone 2. The huge cameras on the back made me hoping it might be only a 6'3 display.

[@pascal9728]

That's not the same. Cases are made of TPU not plastic. TPU is yellowish. So after a period of time the chemicals that make it look clear will disappear.

Is there a option to cut the screen short so the camera isn't visible? Wouldn't be a deal breaker to be fair. I'll be changing my Xperia 5 for this I think.

[@rosaria8384]

I'm surprised the Dimensity 7200 Pro can play Genshin in a passable way. Sure it doesn't keep 60 fps constantly, but it's passable for grinding sessions. Hooked onto this phone since Saturday last week.
