i want to buy nothing phone 2a but hesitating to buy after seeing the reviews on youtube about the phone. this is the place were i can get accurate advice, so asking whether i should go for nothing 2a?
not a heavy gamer, need a good camera, long lasting battery, durability, wanna plan to use at least for 4 to 5 years.
should i go for this?
azeemmohd60 I think that might pet you down is the camera somedays its the best somedays its the worst other than its really good
One of the best phones that i having now for around 3 months, wotking fast, great cemera compare to xiaomi, great battery, screen time, clean ui. It easy can be a phone for 3-4 years for sure.
azeemmohd60 Based on your requirements, I think the (2a) is a good fit. It’s a good all-around device with 3 major Android updates and 4 years security. If you can stretch I’d suggest the Phone (2a) Plus due to the improved processor, better selfie camera and slightly longer support (as it’s a newer device).
I’m still using Phone(1) and like you, have similar requirements. I’ve been really impressed with Nothing, frequent updates and the community is a big plus too.
I’d also suggest searching the community for (2a) reviews, there’s plenty of good ones!
I have Phone 1. Looking to buy Phone 2A for my Dad. He is having samsung Galaxy F 41 right now? Should i go for 2A? If yes how to get it in best price?
My old phone (iPhone 13) damaged.
Planning to buy Nothing 2a
is it worth buying?
Everything except the battery is good. I think a lot of people have some kind of battery issue, maybe wait a bit until the os is final
azeemmohd60 If you are looking for good camera than this not the phone for you. Don’t go with all the hype created around the phone. Camera is very bad even my 5 year old honor play clicks better pics. Durability wise also phone ain’t good. Even after putting up the nothing case the plastic on the back of the phones shows scratches or dust marks which can’t be fixed. Battery is okish and I played shadow fight arena 4 on game, you can only play on medium settings.
Only plus point is Software experience and widgets.
abhi2905 Depends on your expectations. People all over this forum trash the camera, but I genuinely don’t find it too bad myself. Not great but for £309 (BF sale) there’s got to be a compromise somewhere and I’m ok with that. With the 2a, I find the performance being awful on budget Android devices a thing of the past. My 2a has never slowed down unless it was under 10% battery, and even then, it was only the occasional jitter. Battery life on my phone has been great. I could go a full 24 hours (including a 6-7 hour sleep and I’m a pretty heavy user). NFC is there for my contactless payments so I’m all good with the compromises I had to make. It depends on where your priorities lie and what you’re trying to get for your money. I came from an iPhone 13 and I don’t regret it.
Kind regards.
dylanknowsnothing I just have to ask what version you have? 12 or 8 gigs of ram? Because I still can’t believe how bad my luck was with this draw, I need to charge three or four times a day with 2 hours of screen time, it’s driving me pretty nuts
Save your money and invest
ObradKostadinovic 12GB of RAM variant. Definitely sounds like you have a faulty unit.
dylanknowsnothing Damnit, the support people seem to think it’s not hardware, I don’t know how to check or how to believe. Or this company just has a whole bunch of faulty units shipped?
ObradKostadinovic If you’re having to charge your phone 3-4 times a day, that certainly isn’t normal. Even if your battery was at 80% of its original capacity, you wouldn’t need to charge that much. Considering how well battery life is on my unit, certainly wouldn’t put it down to a software issue. If it was a software issue, we’d all be experiencing those problems with the battery. I know Nothing in the UK do have a phone number. If you’re based in the UK, have you tried contacting them and speaking on a call?
Kind regards.
Nope, I’m from Serbia, so there is no direct support. But the problem is that my phone does have a software issue, like the other users with the same problem - in my battery stats I can see that wifi is destroying my battery life. But that’s probably not even wifi, a user found out that the kernel keeps sucking on the battery, so we can at least wait for the next update and see if that helps. If that fails I’ll try to replace my phone somehow.
