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.
Nothing Phone 2a MSRP $405.00 Score Details “The Nothing Phone 2a's low price, fun design, colorful photos, strong performance, and masses of customization make it a brilliant buy.” Pros Cons The Nothing Phone 2a is going to get a lot of attention. First for its design, then for the flashing Glyph lights on the back, and finally for the price.
The surfaces are warm to the touch and at 190 grams and 8.5mm thick, it’s easily pocketed and manageable with one hand. The IP54 water and dust resistance is also welcome. The rear cover and chassis are polycarbonate, but the rear attracts a lot of fingerprints. Does this mean it feels cheap? The chassis has a pleasing, grippy texture and a metal-like finish, but the polycarbonate rear panel does have a hollow, obviously plastic sound when you tap it.
It’s Nothing’s first phone with a MediaTek processor, the Dimensity 7200 Pro, which has been specially created by the two companies for this device. Built using a 4nm process, on paper, it’s a higher-performance chip than the Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G+ in the Nothing Phone 1, plus it’s backed up by 12GB of RAM. The Nothing Phone 2a also has Virtual RAM, with 2GB of internal storage set as RAM by default, but this is configurable up to 8GB.
The Glyph integrates with Uber, Zomato, and your calendar to provide time-based alerts and syncs to music playing through your phone You don’t get the battery charge indicator, and the lights aren’t quite so intense or intricate as the Nothing Phone 2’s, but they still get the job done. I love the different ringtones and notification alerts, each with its own lighting sequence, and it’s possible to compose your own tones using the built-in editor.
The Nothing Phone 2a’s camera is enjoyable to use, I’ve been confident in its ability, and there’s plenty of consistency between the main and wide-angle cameras. The disappointing lowlight performance is understandable at this price. However, outside of that and considering this is Nothing’s “cheap” phone, the camera doesn’t disappoint at all and is often as fun as the phone’s cool design.
I was hoping for a little more from the Nothing Phone 2a’s battery. It’s certainly not awful performance, and two days with average use will be fine for a lot of people. But given the modest power requirements and large capacity cell, I did expect to see it last even into a third day when I wasn’t pushing the phone hard.
Nothing provides three years of version updates and four years of security updates, which is less than Samsung and Google provide, but acceptable for a low-cost smartphone that many people will not plan to keep for so long anyway. I’ve used the Nothing Phone 2a with Wi-Fi, 4G, and 5G connections, and it has behaved perfectly, plus calls are clear for both parties.
