This seems to be a sore subject across the Community.
However, the (2a)+ does no harm, whatsoever. Is it for everyone? No.
Is it for Phone(1) users who were holding out for the Phone (3) which is now pushed back to 2025, most likely.
Is it a great way to get into the media with a “World’s First” smartphone. Yes. The CPU is making its debut with this phone.
Do I feel sorry for those who recently purchased a (2a), yes. But you are also purchasing a phone that is now over four months old. But that will still last you for over 2.5 years of software updates.
I feel that ultimately, the (2a) was an experiment by Nothing. A new segment for their device portfolio, a new, fresh design. This plus is part of the same. Plus it adds a first for Nothing, a 50MP selfie camera, which is a good sign of the future.
3 Phones in one year, really isn’t a travesty. It isn’t on the levels of other companies who release many, upon many of devices every other month. Heck, even Apple release four phones in one go.
I am sure that the feedback here shall be heard. Let’s see what 2025 holds for product releases. We know we can expect Phone (3). We will probably see some more uniformity and clarity, for sure.
