- Battery draining very fast
- Performance drop- after new update bgmi frame rate dropping nearly 35 and closing app automatically and lots of gitter during playing
- Charging is not fast even with the brand 65 Watt charger and little heating while charging
- Selfie camera needs to be optimised not much clearer photos as expected from 32 MP camera
- Back camera potrait mode also need optimisation and overall performance is not stable

Merged 1 post from Overall performance of Nothing Phone 2a.
- Zoom clarity : do some basic research. This is mid-range Android device and your expectation is that of a flagship.
- AI : this phone already uses Google Photos by default. If you subscribe to Google One you’ll unlock all the photo, video enhancing features you talked about.
Greetings from Turkiye. We would like to thank Nothing for offering this phone to our country with a special pricing policy. I will sell my 14 Pro Max because of its user-hostile policy and buy Nothing Phone 2a in a few days.

I don’t know why you would want the 2a over the 2 I am new to nothing and have just purchased the 2a and although I am very happy with its performance and looks I do miss the feel of a top end phone with metal surround and I am sure I will upgrade to either nothing 2 or nothing 3 if this is in the pipeline great o/s design and build just think I should of spent the extra on the 2
chrisdorkins9 I do like the design and feel of the Phone 2a over the Phone 2, the way the button contrast on the white unit is just pure perfection to fine detail, also the battery life is amazing on the Phone 2a, half an hour of playing Snowbreak Containment Zone and I only consume 5% of battery life. Cameras on the Phone 2 are better, but design wise and how much you get for your money is great with the Phone 2a.
I have the 3 of them and yet the Phone 2a is now my favorite.

Using Nothing phone 2a with cmf 65w gann charger still it takes 2-3 hours to full charge and if i put charger in day it doesn’t charge my phone. What is happening here
- (Edited)
got mine a few days back and loving the experience so far! the only things i would like to improve are:
- the display white balance is on the warmer side, even after adjusting it to “cool”
- the cameras, especially the ultrawide, definitely need optimization
i’m sure both of these could be addressed by future updates; but otherwise its a solid phone! loving the glyphs and the nothing aesthetic throughout the UI.
Rob Today Nothing 2a Price Increased On Flipkart.The Nothing Phone 2A still lacks a lot and has a lot of problems in this price range.And at this price OnePlus will be launched today, it is good in everything. So reduce the price of Nothing 2a. Because Many People Waiting for comparison between One Plus Nord CE 4 and Nothing Phone 2a and OnePlus better than 2a in all field. That’s why I suggest keep the price as it was, great Keep the price as it was, do not increase it, charger in 2A, case is nothing, and OnePlus is right in everything due to which everyone will buy OnePlus only. So make the base price of 2A Rs 21,000 or Rs 22,000 so that everyone will look at 2A. Due to which 2A will be sold a lot.
I went straight for expert mode manual settings to get the result I wanted.
I converted the dng file to black and white in photoshop as I do with all of my images.
I found the camera on the phone underwhelming on auto mode but in expert mode it’s not bad.
This was taken 1 min walk form Nothings head office in London
Merged 1 post from I am a photographer and tried out the 2a today.
Hi team, I’m from India. Recently purchased phone 2a. It is a excellent phone, I have found bug on speaker for calling . Don’t get me wrong speakers are good and loud enough while listening music and videos but when I put on speaker for calling it’s very low . Please fix this with next update .
Got 2a for my girlfriend. She loves Nothing since phone 1. Me as tech lover and “Apple” boy got me curious about this phone. There is things i like and dislike about it:
+
- Yes its plastic but got me old school vibe as iPhone 5C.
- Light really light for big screen phone thats important not only for women but for us too.
- Screen - nice refresh rate, great borders.
- Camera - Night photos and also small size i get tired of big island stuff every one use it at the back.
- Milk color - Really get me back to Apple 5C and clean philosophy that they have with Steve and Johny.
- I`m not gamer but she play some games and says its great performer and not getting too hot as rest of the phones.
-
- Big Screen - its just me or can we go back to 6 inch or 5.8
- No wireless charging its important for car with wireless android auto more easy or at home just to leave on the desk not to use cables
- Camera bumb - yes its small but can it be flat that will be perfect
- Sound a bit more deep need to be thats i think
There is not so much - points to be frank, also price point is best on the market. If you guys keep up with ideal of 2a micro with single flat camera that will be boom of the market my opinion.

Thank you very much for this wonderful phone. I’m more of a normal person who uses their phone for calls, emails, calendars and chats as well as social media. YouTube or streaming are also in normal use. I am very happy to have the 2a now and it has worked very well so far. There was a small or short error on Google car in a VW Polo (2024). Restarted everything and it worked again. I followed the development and am now happy with the finished product, thank you!!! 
OnePlus Nord ce4 will destroy the nothing phone 2a as they have much better specs at same price… now I feel bad that I did hurry to buy NP2a
