Nothing Phone(2a) 5G 6.7'' 12GB 256GB ROM Android 14 - Milk

Nothing Phone took a full year to
work on the Nothing Phone 2  as the follow-up to the intriguing
original Nothing Phone 1. Both of these phones stirred up quite a bit of
attention in
their own right. The original device was meant to be kind of a midrange
market
disruptor, while the second model was positioned as much more of a
flagship
offering, aiming for good value inside an avant-garde package.

It has only
been eight months or so since the Nothing Phone (2) and Carl Pei and his nothing
venture have a new device - the Nothing Phone (2a). It's certainly an
interesting device - that much of the original formula has stayed the same. The
design follows one of the earlier Nothing Phone concepts from back in 2020.
Consequently, while the original Nothing Phone (1) and the Nothing Phone (2)
share a lot of overarching design traits, the new Nothing Phone (2a) stands
out. If nothing else, at least the horizontal dual camera
arrangement on the back is not something you see often in 2024.

In terms of features and
specs, the new Nothing Phone (2a) sits between the original Nothing Phone (1)
and the Nothing Phone (2). This is true price-wise as well. We would say that
it is sort of a slightly dialled-back version of the Nothing Phone (2), just
like its name suggests.

You
get the same size 6.7-inch, 120Hz, HD10+, 10-bit AMOLED display on both phones.
The 2a gets a customized variation of the MediaTek Dimensity 7200 chipset,
called the 7200 Pro, which should be a bit less powerful than the Snapdragon 8+
Gen 1 inside the Nothing Phone (2), but at the same time, a decent step up from
the Snapdragon 778G+ inside the original Nothing Phone (1). The camera setup on
the 2a looks nearly identical to that of the Nothing Phone (2), at least on
paper and that includes both 50MP rear snappers and the 32MP selfie. One area
in which the Nothing Phone (2a) offers a notable improvement over its
predecessors is the battery. Despite offering a very similar form factor to the
Nothing Phone (2), the Nothing Phone (2a) has a 5,000 mAh battery on board with
45W fast charging, just like the Nothing Phone (2), but missing wireless
charging
