Nothing Phone 2a vs Galaxy A55 Speed Test - In this video we take a look at 2 interesting budget midrange champs to see which comes out on top! Share your thoughts, and enjoy the video!

[@ricianobommel4298]

I watched the first 1 minute of the video in Slow motion and the A55 booted up faster it was only faster by 0.1 seconds, but you said that the Nothing phone 2a booted up faster which was a 0.1 seconds slower than the A55

Nice video Nick ❤ Speed test video was quick 😅 I thought u will take time to upload a speed test video of A55 Btw can u pls do a speed test of s23 after one UI 6.1 update as with one UI 6.1 Samsung has drastically improved the animation

[@svend.7324]

The midrangers are now just as usable in everyday life as the flagships. Of course, the flagships have a few more gimmicks and are sometimes a little better in terms of loading times and some games. But for the vast majority of users, this sort of thing plays absolutely no role in everyday life. One should not forget that the performance level of the midrangers is now at the level of the flagships of 3-4 years ago. And no one complained about the lack of performance of, for example, an S-21 at the time. Who cares today whether an application loads 1/2 second faster or whether swiping is EVEN smoother? Let's be honest, if you don't have a direct comparison, nobody cares.

[@nickackermanchannel]

I agree with your comment! They're pretty darn good today. I would glady use one over a flagship if it wasn't for the cameras. I value really high end photography and video quality so I prefer the ultra. However, most people don't need all the extra features so these phones have their place

[@ayouboughar4673]

Absolutely! So, speaking of performance, midrange phones these days are really holding their own. Especially if you're coming from a regular phone, you'll be pretty impressed with what they can do. But if you're used to the lightning-fast performance of a top-tier flagship like my OnePlus 9 Pro, you might notice a difference. Even though the benchmark scores might show them as equals, in real-life use, there's a bit of a gap. Like, when you're swiping around for navigation, it just feels smoother on the flagships, Also the cameras are better. But hey, progress is being made, and midrange phones are getting closer and closer to that top-tier experience. So while they might not be there yet, they're definitely on the right track!

[@CRAB..]

I agree 100 percent

[@levipb1403]

I care about laggy animations

[@anwarulislam9522]

Yup they are. Midrangers are now well enough to handle our desired tasks. And i am an apple fan, i am still using an iPhone 11. When the se 4 is released, gonna get that

You can make Samsung phone faster by reducing animations by naught 5 times.

Performance wise they're about the same . Overall i would go for the a55 though . Nothing looks budget ,has cheaper materials and a lower ip rating

Yes the samsung is like iPhone max from a couple years ago level premium feeling

[@r0main.895]

But the nothing looks better seems more fun tu use and has an actual identity clearly distinct from the rest of android.

@@WololoWololo2 I won't call the nothing a budget tier flagship . Midrange is more suitable . A budget tier flagship would be like the s23 fe

@r0main.895 it may look more unique but it also looks cheaper . The back doesn't look clean compared to a55 imo . The lights are nice but it's kinda gimmicky

[@jiffonbuffo]

6:20 Buying used flagships in my country will subject you to green line/oled burn lottery as most users are clueless about them. Or try to pass it off as normal. Esp Samsung used phone sellers who think burn-ins are harmless since they don't affect phone performance. Wild. 😂

So in India the A55 is a pathetic phone at it's price point. (Better options than the Galaxy A55 for the same price or cheaper include.. OnePlus 12R, Nothing Phone 2 & Iqoo Neo 9 Pro)

What makes Nothing Phone better than any devices is its undisputed replaceable parts. If you have the tools, you can replace them by yourselves, no doubt. I'm a Samsung and Iphone user and I can tell you that their parts are a headache to replace. With Nothing Phone, you only need to be a beginner to replace those parts.

I was shock even samsung has faster processor, the ram management still left behind which some apps that you reopened has reloaded again.
