The 2a is a midrange with decent pricing; whilst the phone 2 is slightly overpriced for what it's worth.

@uday8008 2 месяца назад

Google pixel 7 A with same pricing heats like cooking pan in comparison to nothing 2 And one plus R is only beatable in that

OnePlus 12R is like 100€ more expensive and the only phone in that price category which seems to be better or at least as goog as phone 2. what do you mean with overpriced? which phone at 600€ does better?

I got the 2a under the developer program in the US. I am on the T-mobile network and it works pretty well, although coverage isn't as good as my Samsung. Otherwise, it is a great phone so far. I have no issues with speed, bluetooth, wifi calling etc. The cameras are pretty decent and keep being improved with updates. Overall, I am very happy with it. It is well worth the price.

I am planning on buying nothing 2 , but after seeing the launch of 2a I think the 2a is better , any idea on which one I should buy?? . btw in my area i am getting 2a for 240$ and nothing 2 for 400$ Update : I got the nothing phone 2 The camera , display , glyph everything is very nice and the gaming performance is peak. But the battery gets ezily exausted as I have heavy usage , with normal day to day tasks and not so intense gaming I could easily get full day of usage and still be left out with about 15% at bed time

@thenewone4812 2 месяца назад

go for nothing 2, you ll get a more premium experience.

@notraeon 2 месяца назад

honestly, if you dont horribly care for performance and dont mind the back design that is very controversial for some reason, go with the 2a. if youre gonna do more resource-intensive things like gaming, go with the 2.. but really, if youre doing real resource intensive things on a phone, i'd go with a galaxy s23 or something like that.. the nothing phones arent the most powerful phones, but theyre good enough for most people.

Bruh, why don't you wait a few months and get the Nothing 3 instead ? But if you really want a new phone right now - I feel the 2a is a nice option. I personally don't care about a high grade camera in my phone - and the 2a is cheaper and provides the same value as the Phone 2

@petrisalonen4893 2 месяца назад

2a kills phone 2 in EU! Probably phone 2 didn't sell well enough? Otherwise Carl Pei wouldn't have released 2a. Specs are incredibly close for most users (all non hardcore gamers). Price is 699-840€ for phone 2 in EU when 2a costs between 329-379€ (379€ for 12/256gb model) so it's a no brainer in my opinion. 2a not only looks better and will get updates longer too, all that makes phone 2 kind of obsolete... Let's now sing farewell: 🎙️👨🏻‍🎤🎵🎶 Goodbye phone 2 👋 Hello to phone 2a.

@petrisalonen4893 2 месяца назад

@@AdiGoodBoi I get your point ok, successor to 1, but I still think 2a is the one to buy now in 2024 instead of 2. I already saw a trusted good Indian tech channel who published a comparison between 1 & 2a cameras and the result was almost shocking! 😯 2a did beat 1 in all photo samples with both cameras, in daylight and in the dark, an easy win for 2a cameras, it wasn't one of those "maybe you can spot the difference?" not at all because 2a was a huge improvement and it makes me wonder what it can achieve with upcoming updates 🤓.

@joshuarich4714 2 месяца назад

2a is great with minimal tasks but even sending photos to people will cause it to lag pretty bad. Also camera is slooww

@AdiGoodBoi 2 месяца назад

@@petrisalonen4893 I totally agree with you but the 2a has some drawbacks such as ufs 2.2 and lpddr4x ram just doesn't sound as good, or performs as well as the phone 1's ufs 3.1 and lpddr5 ram. The 2a excels in camera only(no offense to anyone who has the 2a and is reading this) just look at the geekbench score the phone 1 score 1089 and 2a scores 1154. Not a big difference, and the multi score for phone 1 is 2500 and 2a is 2200 (Correct me if I'm wrong) This doesn't mean it's worser then phone 1 but I'm a little bit disappointed with nothing. They could have spent a bit more and provided a decent snapdragon chip and ufs 3.1
