This looks clean, one of the best androids out there. Hope Nothing makes a flagship versions that can compete with the galaxy ultras.

Nothing Phone(1) user here: it was the one to buy. So good.
Hope Nothing will focus more about Cameras but it’s a midrange, so it’s ok.
A large amount of people, in the world use midrange phones. It’s always nice to own something different

[krishgetz]

Just wish Nothing came with a smaller phone. 6” screen would be perfect. It’s too big for most people.

I just got this! I'm switching my work phone from a prepaid to this + a phone plan.

I'm looking forward to the 256 storage and experience.

Am currently using oneplus 6t since 2018 now am thinking of considering to buy the 2a plus.

[GFourGadget]

A good midrange phone just became better, nice! The difference between them isn't astronomical, so if I could get the 2a at a discount I wouldn't hesitate! 🙊

[frutti_di_marius]

The front of the Phone 2a is easily one of the cleanest looks out there but this colourway makes the entire thing stand out even more. Hope that Nothing will keep the colours for future drops

The actual charging is like 33-watt fast.

[sayanacharyya]

Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 with faster ram and storage type (DDR5 & ufs 3.1 is enough) could have been a killer deal. Rest is perfect

[mikyong]

Watching from a Nothing Phone (2a) Plus phone. It really is a good midrange phone.

[akorejepade]

This was high on my list for upgrading from my Galaxy a52 but decided to go for a year old flagship for around the same price. But I am keeping my eye on Nothing as I love the buds I have from them.

If that 2a plus has a white version i would buy it
The gray look beautiful but its not my favorite color

[mariz]

Thanks for this vid! I've been on the fence with whether to get the Nothing 2a or the older Pixel 8 since the camera takes the second spot of importance for me. I think the Plus model just seals the deal.

[SerPounceToebeans]

Watching this on my Nothing Phone 2a. 😅

[lorenzoalfredo]

waiting for the phone 3 and hope they make it really flagship level

[DimiProject]

I wanna see a improved edition of nothing phone 2 with similar glyph in the back

[vincenthamn]

That front cam has good details and focuses better than the Pixel 7 Pro and Pixel 8. Should I get this 2a Plus instead?🤔

[kelvinzaragoza]

I wish they didn't made 2a Plus. 2a was already good. It's like they're becoming like other brands now and just releasing back to back phone. And then they have CMF.

[stevenbowen]

Whats better this or galaxy A55? I just brought this but debating taking it back
