Phone (2a) is home to a powerhouse...

The excitement is real just 2 weeks now..

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?

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.

Rob

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

Enjoyed the video and appreciate how raymond explained things. More such videos please.

March 5 is shaping up to be super exciting.

ParbezImruz good question

Smart clean is a cool feature, but I do have one concern regarding the processor. Mediatek’s image processing is historically crappy compared to snapdragon. Has this been changed with the co developed processor?

This might be 2 silly questions, but, will the phone be out on the 5th March in London & will there be a event

84RRY Same here. Nothing phone will be my first phone from that brand. Moving away from Pixel phones which I had since P3. I need something different this time. I build my Nothing ecosystem sadly, first was Watch Pro, then Ear Stick and 2a is going to be next.

I’ve been a avid fan of Samsung for a very long time & like you, I need something new, fresh & not clogged up with rubbish. I’m thinking I might get the watch & earphones when I get the phone

The price in Dubai will be definitely under AED 1500. So this becomes a must-buy for me. I wanted to get a flagship from Nothing but have to wait until they figure out proper software optimizations and other camera fixes. Meanwhile, P2a will seem perfect to dive into their ecosystem. Looking forward.

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.

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.

I hear what your all saying about the internals but to me, it’s a phone, it’s a Nothing Phone, whatever is under the hood, it will be fantastic & so much cleaner than any other phone, each day that goes by, is a step towards the 2a dropping
