Nothing Phone 2a review: the best cheap phone in ages | Digital Trends

The Nothing Phone 2a's design and price will grab your attention, but will the phone hold it if you buy one? We've found out in our in-depth review.

Glyph Lights are fun ; Customizable software ; Bright screen ; Good speakers ; Colorful, social-friendly camera

Confusing two-model lineup ; No wireless charging ; Battery life is only average

“The Nothing Phone 2a's low price, fun design, colorful photos, strong performance, and masses of customization make it a brilliant buy.”

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...

Nothing Phone (2a) Review

The Nothing Phone (2a) has an eye-catching design, runs smoothly, and takes impressive photos, but limited availability and poor 5G support hurt its prospects in the US.

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) vs Nothing Phone (2): the who's who of the budget world

The Nothing Phone (2a) comes in hard with an aggressive price tag and very recognizable style. The Nothing style. But the Nothing Phone (2) is already wearing that! The question is — who does it better? Well, also, the question is "How does the cheap...

Nothing Phone 3a Pro review: Apple and Google should be worried

This is what all budget phones should strive to be like

Outstanding value for the cost ; Much improved camera performance ; More customization with Nothing OS 3.1 ; All-day battery life ; Speedy wired charging

Limited availability ; Essential Space feature lacks polish ; Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 underperforms

In an era where budget phones are costing more while getting stripped of features, the Nothing Phone 3a Pro reverses course by providing more for less. Nearly everything about Nothing's Pro model is much improved over the last version, but the fact...
