Inside (2a) Plus - A Teardown
Rob 
Even when disassembled, it’s amazing to see the design work behind each Nothing product, and the Phone (2a) Plus is no different.
It’s clear that you make beautiful products on the outside as well as on the inside 🩶

I love the copper aesthetic. Any chance some of it can feature on the back and sides of the phone (3)?
Rob This teardown is amazing! I loved zooming in on the individual components, especially the FPC strip shown 
. It did provide some insights into the manufacturers of these parts and how they look. The engineering of the motherboard and glyph Interface is fascinating, and the placement of the copper and graphite tab for heat dissipation is smartly done, keeping thermals well managed during extended use. Definitely a worthwhile read for me..Kudos to the team for the design both inside and out 
I don’t just want to see a teardown, but will it be sold in the USA? I tried and it said sign in for updates, but nothing has happened, I really want to see it in my head!
This phone has captured a special place in my heart with It’s unique and stunning design and features. In response to your question, I’m a passionate mobile photographer, so naturally, my favorite part was the teardown of the Camera System on the Nothing Phone (2a) Plus. The triple 50MP camera system truly impressed me with It’s detailed aperture and sensor specifications. Additionally, the HDR photo capture and 4K video recording capabilities are exceptional.
My favorite part is that you removed the covers and thermal paste to actually show the components in the motherboard.
Also, appreciate the battery pull tabs.

My favourite element has got to be the underside of the glyph interface, it’s what sets Nothing’s products apart and really highlights the effort that goes into the design! Pair that with the attention to detail in every other element, it really sings in my opinion!
I really appreciate that you post this. I haven’t seen a lot of smartphone companies post the internals of there own smartphone. I’m happy with the OIS on the main camera, it’s a big deal for people who like to take videos. I also hope that the phones of nothing (or cmf) will become more open to repair, for example just an easy swappable battery would be fantastic. I have heard that it will become standard in the EU by 2027. I hope nothing does it sooner…
exists and astonished by how modern smartphone’ fingerprint sensor looks like 
My favourite detail is how neatly everything is arranged in the motherboard. It’s so beautiful to look at 
this is the type of content I really appreciate, it helps to see our everyday devices not as black boxes but as cool pieces of tech!!
I must admit I’m impressed of how many little components are in such a tiny space and the engineering work behind it: the type of material most suitable for every piece, the needed organisation and position… And a lot of hours working on it, for sure!
Also, it’s astonishing how technology has improved in such a short time, needing computers as huge as wardrobes for simple operations, but now, a minuscule microprocessor, in this case, the Mediatek 7350 Pro, is capable of running an entire OS and all the actions involved. Amazing!

Very fascinating post ! It’s interesting to look inside the smartphone, continue, it’s interesting to look at the headphones, CMF watches! Also, it would be nice if you could write on the photo what kind of sensor it is, not in the post itself, because then you have to minimize the photo and see what it is. Cool! All aspects of the smartphone are very interesting! It looks like you can easily replace any spare part and it’s cool!
My fav part is the mediatek chip, power efficiency is fenomenal
Phone (2a) Plus camera system makes me feel like more premium than Phone (2a). I got so much to flex hahaha.
Rob my favourite tear down is fingureprint sensor on the lower device component, I never seen these detailing so far
Such a cleannn teardown!
