Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Nothing Phone 2A: A Flashy Phone for $349”.
We lik the nothing phone 2 because of its solid overall performance and its unique flashing lights. The nothing phone 2A takes a bit of that flashiness, but strips the specs back to come with an even more affordable price tag in the US. The phone 2A with 12 gig of RAM and 256 gig of storage will go on sale for $ 349. That’S half the price of the nothing phone 2 in the same configuration. So what do you get for your money? Well, you get a generous 6.7 in display which seems bright and vibrant enough to do justice to your games and YouTube videos, a 5,000 mAh battery, which should give you at least a full day of use and a dual rear camera setup.
The main 50 megap camera takes decent photos in most conditions, capturing plenty of detail and colors that seem pretty accurate, there’s also a 32 megapix ultrawide, which again does the job perfectly well. Is it a camera to catapult you into photography stardom? Well, probably not, but it’s fine for quick snaps of your friends. The phone 2A runs on the mediatech dimensity 7,200 Pro chip, rather than the Snapdragon 8 gen. One chip found in its priciest sibling, it’s nowhere near as powerful on Benchmark tests as the nothing phone 2.
But given its much lower price, that’s probably to be expected in general use, though I found it fairly nippy with no noticeable lag or stuttering. So what about nothing? Signature, flashing, glyph lights! Well, there are a small number on the back, though. Apparently, you need to spend bigger bucks. If you want the complete light, show the LEDs it does have will do the usual things of alerting you to incoming calls or act as a small fill light when you’re shooting video at night, we only spent a short amount of time with the phone so far.
So we’ll Reserve judgment on whether it’s worth its money in the full review, but so far it certainly seems like a decent, affordable alternative for those of you who don’t want to spend the bigger money on the nothing phone too. .
