Phone (2a) is home to a powerhouse: the MediaTek Dimensity 7200 Pro.

Phone (2a) will feature a custom Dimensity 7200 Pro processor co-engineered with MediaTek to deliver the best performance with optimal power consumption.

Built on TSMC’s latest second-generation 4nm process technology, Phone (2a)’s processor powers through any task with unparalleled power efficiency and speed. The 8-core chip, clocking speeds up to 2.8 GHz, paired with up to an expansive 20GB RAM thanks to the new RAM Booster technology, ensures swift and responsive multitasking all day long. This results in a performance that is 18% more powerful than Phone (1) and 16% more efficient in terms of battery consumption compared to Phone (1).

Additionally, we’ve introduced Smart Clean technology, enabling Phone (2a) to regularly clean out-of-order file fragments - an optimisation that boosts read and write speeds. This ensures that Phone (2a) feels as fast as it did on day one, even after years of use.

Rob ⚡️ Hey, Rob. Thanks for mentioning the processor in a post.

Regarding the chip, I AM a bit skeptical about the fact that they are generally slower than most Snapdragon chips. I mean, it was precise how it is faster than its Snapdragon counterparts. But given that you chose the chip, I am not sure if it’s good for advanced tasks like gaming (since I play Genshin Impact on my phone (2)). And for anything else, is the Phone (2a) going to have AI based features?

Does the RAM Booster technology come with any potential drawbacks, such as reduced overall system stability?

I am happy with that choice and can’t wait for pre- orders to start 🙂

@Rob ⚡️ @adbo RIP custom rom support and gcam. If they worked with mediatek on the kernel level, please release kernel sources just like snapdragon. Please come to agreement with Mediatek to release Kernel sources. I know this device is targeted at a different audience. But here me out, Poco F1 still lives on through Pixel Experience. I hope Nothing and Mediatek can come to some agreement on releasing kernel sources. So people can make and install custom roms for long term usage. I don’t know if they can. If they can, it would be amazing.

For phone 3(a). Please go with snapdragon 7 gen please.

hexagonal707x They Might Go with 8+ Gen 2 Or Gen 3

hexagonal707x True my man..many of us would prefer a snapdragon over Mediatek all day long, have had multiple issues using custom roms on MediaTek devices.

Nice! But I personally don’t prefer MediaTek

CrisONViper In the Update Video youtube.com/watch?v=XFG9eWR2uac&t=67s The Product Marketing Manager Said they had two option in Snapdragon Which are The SD7s Gen 2 and SD782G 5G But the reason they choose this is because it is better and outperformance the other two Snapdragon SOC.

The MediaTek Dimensity 7200 Pro is a custom chip which is made exclusively for the Nothing Phone 2a, so it could have more optimized performance in Battery and Performance, and it is the TSMC’s 4nm Processor which means the smaller the transistors mean better efficiency. The reason I’m mentioning TSMC is because They are one of the leading chip manufacturers who are building chip for Nvidia and AMD.

But there are some downsides that it is kind of hard-to-find Custom ROM for MediaTek Chips but Custom ROM in Nothing phone might kill the Glify Interface.

It’s good to see that performance is 18% more powerful than Phone (1) and 16% more efficient in terms of battery consumption compared to Phone (1).

Since SOC is from MediaTek, I hope price also will be low when compared to Phone (1)

im curious. does the nothing phone 1 have the Smart Clean Technology?

adbo

This is exciting! Loved seeing Raymond in the video giving us all the technical details

Rob ⚡️

adbo Haha, I thought I was quite tech-savvy until I watched this 🙃

Tatsuya

The Smart Clean feature intrigued me, will we potentially get this in the NothingOS in general? For all phones to be specifc 🤔

JatinPanchal18

Can’t wait to pre order 😍

Also thanks to team nothing for sharing tech details in a brief🙌🏻

Louis ☕️

Raymond in this video was great. Would love to see more features with him. Explains things so well! Nice to see some more of the device being revealed.

Daniel

The excitement is real 🤩 just 2 weeks now..

Everyone has different needs as everyone can choose a different phone. It’s not a one size fits all. NP2A is not a good option for you but it’s perfect option for me. I am happy with the choice of Mediatek processor because of it’s battery efficiency. You like gaming on your phone so you will choose something with SP8GX and I more of a daily users on a budget so I will be pretty satisfied with Dimensity 7200 Pro.

I chose the NP1 because it already has LineageOS support, so I will most likely still get community updates, even when official ROMs are not released anymore. MediaTek is notoriously difficult to work with in the open source community, so it seems like a bad choice for a phone. I’ll probably pass.

“20GB RAM thanks to the new RAM Booster technology”
That sounds like a technology like zRAM, which compresses the data in memory so you effectively have more RAM, but it costs CPU power and battery life.

I wonder how much physical RAM the device will actually have.

Q. Does Nothing Phone 2 get Smart Clean Features in Future updates ?

Pranshu

ParbezImruz good question
