Nothing Phone 2a Plus | Unboxing & 3 Day Review | What's New?

Unboxing the Nothing Phone 2a Plus with a three day review of this mid-range phone's camera tech, gaming abilities, battery life & more. What's changed for the Nothing Phone 2a Plus vs the original 2a and 2 flagship?

Well, not a huge amount! You now have a 50MP selfie camera and fresh vivid mode, but the rest of the optics are identical to the original. Battery charging is slightly faster now at 50W, while the Nothing Phone 2a Plus also offers a performance boost. The old Mediatek chipset has been ripped out and replaced with a Dimensity 7350 Pro, which offers a bit more gaming grunt.

Once again, you get great battery life and that slick Nothing OS experience with Glyph Lighting. The Nothing Phone 2a Plus is certainly one of the best mid-range smartphones of 2024. Although if you're not fussed about games, you'll be just as happy with the old 2a. The rest of the experience is almost identical, to the point where most people would struggle to notice any differences.

So that's my unboxing and review of the Nothing Phone 2a Plus. Check out my round-up of the best mid-range smartphones of 2024 for a closer look at the competition and let us know your thoughts below!

The Nothing news reporter widget is genius!

[protheus]

Proud owner of the limited edition 2a.
Gorgeous phone up close.

Finally upgraded from my OnePlus 5 which has lasted me for nearly 7 whole years

[Rizwaan]

Can't wait for the CMF 1 ultra, nothing 2a lite, nothing 3b pro, nothing phone 3 lite and the nothing 1a max. I'm sure theyll all be completely unique phones

[Moon_Presence]

I love your uncensored straight to the point reviews. Love it. Subbed 😊

[kindofanmol]

Gosh that colour is absolutely gorgeous

[AbdulAhad-gdgl]

Man please start story telling, it will be a huge hit 🤣🤣. I just watch the video just to listen to the hilarious descriptions TBH 😂

[iPhonenaire]

Showing the a54 in place of the 2a👀 lmfao 😆

[who_is_arnob]

"Everything is remarkably shit" 🤣🤣

[juanestebanaliaga]

Why releasing three mobile phones in a year? They should focus on the existent devices that they have. Anyway, amazing video!!!

[tjey]

Trousers are really going to suffer with this one, first they got suitably moist and then exploded. Crazy, anyway that was some great modeling in the review you and your family really make the camera section a treat. Personally I just love that camera bump it is up there against the Pixel thing . Great review though

[abdurahmanasiri]

That came out of nowhere!! Looking good though. I like it.

[bulolo_wilber]

The video exposure is impressive imo. Makes u feel like ur actually using ur very eyes, unlike most phones

[smileykaomoji]

I was wondering where do you get your anime wallpapers

[BMS-pi]

I swear this cat forces you to include it in all reviews😂

[ignatius]

The reason i like Nothing Phone 2a.

1. Design
-transparent back )
- glyphs lighs (i like it even tho is barely use it)

2. Software

[s.bunatembajamir]

Where do u get all these wonderful wallpapers?
I notice that u have nice anime wallpaper in all your videos.😂✨

[Yana-os]

Do u think these new widgets and functions will be presented to the np 2a and np2a same edition or should I just don't wait for them and go for the plus version?

[zeferrew]

I'll buy nothing if they release smaller size phone like 6.1-6.4

[albertovillalobos]

Is there any video of the Plus version in BLACK???? Holy crap, I'm looking like crazy and all the videos are of the grey version.

[boontahlim]

Does the cameras have ultra steady mode on video?
