So, Nothing’s back at it again with the Phone 2a Plus! They’ve taken the solid foundation of the 2a and given it a little boost with a faster processor and an upgraded selfie camera. Plus, that faster charging is a nice touch. On paper, it’s definitely an improvement over the original.
But here’s the thing: why now? The 2a is still relatively new. It sorta feels like they’re rushing things a bit. To me, this phone seems tailored for those who loved the 2a but craved a bit more power and camera quality. It’s like Nothing listened to their fans and delivered a specific upgrade. Which is good, and we need more companies who actually listen to what the people want. However, a $50 difference between the two models makes the 2a Plus feel more like a minor refresh than a completely new phone. I can’t help but wonder if these upgrades should have been part of the original 2a.
Now don’t get me wrong, I’m intrigued by the Phone 2a Plus and would love to get my hands on it, as well as all the other products Nothing makes. Nothing has a unique appeal, and I’m a fan of their overall aesthetic. It definitely deserves more recognition, especially here where I live in Florida. But this particular release leaves me with mixed feelings. It’s like it’s caught in a weird spot in the lineup.
Do you think it’s a necessary part of the lineup?
