Nothing Phone (2a) review

 

Nothing took a full year to work on the Nothing Phone (2) as the follow-up to the intriguing original Nothing Phone (1). Both of these phones stirred up...

Unique, eye-catching design with a surprising amount of added functionality from the Glyph Interface.

No charger in the box.

As for the Nothing Phone (2a), we really liked our time with it. As we said, all of the unique Nothing design and aesthetics are there. If it happens to be your particular cup of tea, we can safely say that the Nothing Phone (2a) hardware platform that...

Review: Nothing Phone (2a)

 

I had zero problems covering a major mobile trade show with this $350 Android smartphone from Nothing.

It's cheap! Excellent performance. Bright and smooth display. Lovely, unique design. Elegant software interface and fun Glyph lights. Good battery life. NFC for contactless payments. Three OS upgrades and 4 years of security updates. Reliable...

Limited water resistance. No Verizon compatibility. Available in the US, but through a weird developer program. No headphone jack.

Nothing Phone (2a) Review: Premium Midrange Lights Up - SlashGear

 

Can Nothing deliver a new phone that's not just an upgrade? Can a smartphone really look this unique and cost this amount of money at the same time?

Nothing Phone (2a) review: is this going to be the king of budget phones?

 

Nothing Phone (2a) is finally official and here's what we know and our initial thoughts on it!

Unique Nothing flair and panache ; Very good display, thin bezels ; Casual performance is good ; Camera is adequate at price point ; Dependable battery life

All plastic design, hair sticks to it, gathers fingerprints ; No wireless charging ; Speakers are tinny ; Heavy task performance is not great, slight input lags

Nothing Phone (2a) Review: Just a little more than you're paying for

 

The Nothing Phone (2a) is a budget smartphone that doesn't feel like a budget smartphone. Instead, it feels like more than you're paying for.

Nothing Phone (2a) Review: Is There More Than Just Exceptional Design?

 

I reviewed the Nothing Phone (2a), the best-looking mid-range smartphone of 2024. Is the exceptional design just a cover-up for its shortcomings?

The finest mid-range Android smartphone ; Nothing OS 2.5 is very user-friendly ; 3 Android updates + 4 years of security updates ; Record battery life and a large battery ; Very stable performance

Photo quality is not outstanding, especially at night ; Sluggish 45W wired charging speed ; No microSD slot ; Very attractive design albeit using plenty of plastic

Would I recommend the Nothing Phone (2a) at $349? Yes. At first, I thought the Nothing Phone (2a) was a handsome smartphone from afar, but far from beautiful. Basically, I thought that Nothing had overemphasized the cool design of its smartphone to...

Nothing Phone 2a review: I just found my favourite new budget smartphone

 

Offers innovative design at a low price.

Fantastic design innovations ; Excellent 50MP camera and lens ; Fun mix of Nothing's own apps

Underpowered for complex apps

A well-specced budget smartphone with a good camera, the Nothing Phone 2a evolves the brand's innovative design in a fun new direction. Hardware is backed by excellent Nothing apps and the latest features of Android 14.
