Nothing Phone 2a vs Galaxy A54 Speed Test

Nothing Phone 2a was just launched to the world and we already have a Speed Test comparison for you today! Share your thoughts, and picks, and enjoy the battle!

[@ricianobommel4298]

The Samsung S23 FE would win against the Nothing 2a (They almost have the same price) This comparison would be more interesting because the Nothing phone 2a is the budget version of the Nothing phone 2 and the S23 FE is the budget version of the S23 and the A54 is a year old and the Nothing phone 2a just came out by

In India the nothing phone 2a costs ₹25999($315) for 256gb rom 8gb ram and the A54 for the same specifications costs ₹35000($420) which is a pretty high difference. So I guess the 2a is a better option for me

[@VibnWavez]

I definitely believe you. Nothing does an amazing job with the UI! Pixels are like this too. You could talk about benchmarks for a whole month IDC the Pixel UI is just smoother. It's got that super buttery slippery-ness that honestly even beats out the iPhone ui sometimes. Sure maybe it renders 8k HDR video slower or some other insane thing 99.9% of nobody ever does on their phone but the UI is what really matters. It's what we use all day every day.

> A54 still didn't get One UI 6.1, yet in your video you implied one UI 6.1 didn't do much to A54's animations which is therefore wrong. > You are comparing a 6gb ram variant of A54 with 12gb ram of nothing phone 2a. Totally unfair comparison since you also turned off ram plus while using an extra 8gb of Vram for 2a. Another horribly unfair comparison. You could've atleast done the comparison with an 8gb variant of A54 with ram plus on.

[@kaffeice7]

nick u have the pixels still? u almost never do vids of them spec of the lil older ones

[@datgamerguy69]

Samsung A54 seems better for raw chip performance, they just need to optimize the One UI skin better and the A54 could have beaten out the Nothing 2a, even on a phone like the S23U, sometimes you get stutters because they don't optimize their animations all too well, apparently the animations are a lot better on One UI 6.1 but we'll have to see. And the ram just isn't enough for 2024, but also its a bit unfair that you used the RAM Plus equivalent on the Nothing phone but not RAM Plus on the A54.
