Editorial report

Nothing Phone (2a) technical sheet

The Nothing Phone (2a) suits buyers looking for a fluid display, capable connectivity, and a versatile camera; its 50 MP camera’s f/1.9 aperture is dimmer than most phones launched around the same time. The 6.7-inch 120 Hz AMOLED display ranks among the best of its time, with 1080 × 2412 px resolution for viewing content. The body has IP54 protection.

Its 50 MP camera includes optical image stabilization and 4K recording, alongside a 50 MP ultrawide camera. Connectivity is better than most phones of its time, with 5G, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, and NFC. Overall performance is typical, though its AnTuTu result of 684,574 is better than most phones launched around the same time. The 5,000 mAh battery and 45 W charging are typical figures.

This version pairs 8 GB of RAM with 128 GB of storage; the Nothing Phone (2a) is also sold with 8 GB / 256 GB and 12 GB / 256 GB. It runs Android 14 and has three years of operating-system update support. Its overall NeoScore is 6.8. The result is a phone with a standout display, optical stabilization, and strong connectivity, balanced by a camera aperture that is dimmer than most. Its launch price is below most of its contemporaries, and it offers good value for money.
