Great mid-range smartphone

Phone owned for less than 3 months

For those looking for a budget smartphone with good performance, display, and battery, the Nothing Phone 2a is a great choice. I didn't like the camera because it sometimes takes mediocre photos. Anyway one of the best smartphones for the money.

Great Phone, Meets Budget, Outclasses most iPhones

Edited: Jul 11, 2024, 2:15 AM

Phone owned for

When I bought a Nothing Phone 2a, I was skeptical because of its price, but I was definitely blown away. The glyph array is smaller than the Phone 2's, but it serves as a good gentle light, and the main torch is also bright. The front and rear cameras are very good quality, and it comes equipped with great Google Lens and editing features. The screen is very high quality, and doesn't scratch or accumulate fingerprints. It has great biometrics, but the fingerprint scanner is a bit glitchy. It sizes up to and quite frankly beats out every iPhone model up until the 15, which is a better phone. Compared to the 14 Pro Max, it costs $541 less, and is so much better.

In conclusion, the Nothing Phone 2a should be the high benchmark for budget phones, eleven though it outclasses expensive high-end ones.
