Extra power, extra pixels, extra unique. Phone (2a) Plus.

Today we unveiled Phone (2a) Plus, our highly anticipated new smartphone. Phone (2a) Plus takes our most popular smartphone and amplifies three key areas:...

I was hoping for a glass and metal version of the 2a 😥. I love the design of the original 2a, for sure I would have bought a flagship version of it.

If is mini version I would already pre-order, in this case why would someone go for Plus model instead of Phone 2 or 2a? But yeah, marketing is good as usual and silver colorway looks nice.

For me it is a much better offering than the phone (2a) and for just an extra £50. The phone (2) offers very little more, and nothing that I can’t live without; certainly not for an extra £120. In many ways, the phone (2a) plus is as good or better than the flagship (2) and is three quarters the price.

sean (1) That’s true, but with this release I just feel they are filling the gaps in between models. What i’ve read seems that lot of users are complaining about updates on lower tier (or older) Nothing phones, so guess Phone 2 get them first, also materials on Phone 2 are better as “flagship” line. Think I will just wait for Phone 3.

Whether the back cover is glass or plastic makes no difference to me – either way I’m putting a case on it.

Yes, the phone (2a) plus kind of sits between the two phones, or as I put it elsewhere, it’s a phone (2) from the multiverse.

I’m going to pop into the London store to have a look. 😛 I was tempted by the OnePlus Nord 4 when it was revealed two weeks ago, but I think the (2a) plus might be a better buy. Can someone more knowledgeable than I am advise if there is any significant difference between the Mediatek Dimensity 7350 (Pro) and Qualcomm SM7675 Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3?

Will there be a way to trade in my Phone (2a) against a purchase of the Phone (2a) Plus?

More like “extra unnecessary and disrespectful” towards the original Phone 2a users

Very convincing, although the intake of air needs to be taken down a notch because it sounds like they’re gasping for air.

Did I read that the phone is actually ever so slightly smaller overall while having the same screen size? That would mean reduced bezels. Also, does that mean cases for the 2a won’t fit the 2a+?

Any difference would be a fraction of a millimetre. From the store:

(2a)

Height 161.74 mm

Width 76.32 mm

Depth 8.55 mm

(2a) plus

Height 161.7 mm

Width 76.3 mm

Depth 8.5 mm

Hi there I am new to the nothing community and have been following this phone for a while and looking to upgrade from my pixel 3a from 2019. Since no market availability is announced yet but I do live in London is there usually a queue in the store in the morning for these limited drop style products?. The only way to get the phone is in the store. Idk how many people want or are gonna buy the phone and if it’s going to run out of stock. I kinda need it desperately since my phone is on its last legs.

I don’t imagine people will be queueing round the block, but maybe give the shop a call in the daytime.

Kyle Ruwan - welcome!

In terms of Soho Store drops, the last (2a) drop was a busy one. There is usually a queue, but enough stock to satisfy those who want to make a purchase.

I would recommend arriving between 30/60 mins before the Drop Time of 11:00 AM. Safe travels and enjoy the experience!

jaimisound

Super interesting. Now to see if the pricing aligns. Can’t wait to test it in our 3G / 4G (stated 4G+) market..

megatomic

sean (1) Okay, the engineer in me is telling me this is a matter of two different people posting. One used 2 decimal points, the other was lazy and used one. lol

Thanks, I’m sure the cases are compatible now.

BalderAndersen

This looks amazing!

I really like the metal finish / color

it’s a very minor upgrade in terms of specs, but it’s only £50 more expensive

Pradeep_Reddy

Khushal Jain it’s out already 👀🔥

The skipping segments are very cool though 😂😂

Kyle Ruwan

Ealesy101 Thank you so much I appreciate this, I will get there early.

gregor_IZkJcmpErd

Ealesy101 the last drop was the special edition and that wasn’t too popular if I remember the recap on here correctly.

I’m currently using phone 1 and still undecided whether to get this new one or wait for phone 3. Will there be any special promotion for the drop? India seems to get quite a discount for the launch.

What are the key differences in features and performance between the Nothing Phone 2 and the Nothing Phone 2a plus, and which one offers better value for a budget-conscious buyer?

A good starting place is to compare specs at GSMArena.com. There are already reviews of the (2a) Plus elsewhere on the world wide web.

Neither the phone (2) or (2a) suit my needs, but the (2a) Plus does and at a good price. Essentially, if you can live without wireless charging go for the (2a) Plus (subject to regional pricing), but the choice is yours.

Inception

There is absolutely no reason to make a revision model of 2a so early on. I mean the a concept isn’t even settled in the market yet. You guys started a movement in the industry with original Nothing Phone 1 and 2 and just threw everything out the window by making this plus variant.

The public will think of you as yet another Oppo and Vivo with so many countless and pointless variants. This was a terrible decision to make Carl.

Thought you were smarter.
