What nothing phone to buy?
Without giving any further details regarding your needs or which country you are from, it’s difficult to make an actual advice.
IMHO the Nothing Phone (2a) offers a great package for the price. While it uses more cheaper materials, you won’t notice them anyways if you are using a case. You won’t get wireless charging, which may or may not be a big deal and the Glyph Interface is more simple with just three LED strips on the back. Cameras, performance and display are almost as good as the more expensive Phone (2), I’ve heard the vibration motor on the (2a) is actually better.
The Nothing Phone (2) has recently seen price cuts and is currently also on sale at a few stores here in my country, it offers the most features, performance and a more premium build quality.
The new CMF Phone 1 is the most budget friendly device. If you don’t need wireless charging, NFC, an Always on Display or an ultrawide camera and don’t care about the glyph LEDs or the transparent design, it’s a great phone, especially considering the price.
I live in Denmark
If the prices are similar to Germany, you’ll also have good discounts and reduced prices for the Phone (2), so it becomes a more attractive option in terms of price.
However my above listing still stands, if you want to go “all-in” with most features and best performance, the (2) is the way to go. One thing to remember though: That Phone started with Android 13 and is said to get three major Android updates, it already got 14, will get 15 and in theory Android 16 would be the last upgrade. Also four years of security updates would end sometime in mid 2027.
The (2a) will also get three major Android updates, vut already started with Android 14, which means it should get Android 17 as the last big update, it should receive security updates until early 2028. Software aside the (2a) is IMHO best price-performance package if you want the full Nothing experience, so the thoughtful transparent design and glyph interface.
Since it’s still a while until the NP3 comes out, I would currently tend towards the NP2a.

Hey guys,
I am looking at my first phone . what will you guys recommend from nothing?
depends on your usage and budget. may be add more details on whats your priority and budget and for what you will use etc
I am on nothing phone 2 and it’s great but it’s getting older, so I think one of the 2a options or if you really want a “flagship” phone wait for nothing phone 3 it will probably be between March and July 2025, just guessing here but I suppose it will be around £700. I would probably wait, but if your budget is closer to £400 get a 2a, the phone is good, fun and looks cool. It’s one of the best mid-range phones available.
No one can advise you on what to buy because it absolutely depends on your budget

Hello! I’m looking to upgrade/sidegrade from my Pixel 6a and was wondering what Nothing/CMF phone would be worth getting?
I want to be able to play games like ZZZ, WuWa, Genshin, War Thunder Mobile, World of Warships: Legends, etc at medium to high graphics with little to no issues.

I would either get the (2a) Plus, as it’s the newest model (and it’s sexy), or wait for (3).
