The Nothing Phone 2a keeps its transparent back and Glyph Interface, blending style and functional LED notifications. Its reflective plastic back is also a fingerprint and scratch magnet, so protective accessories are recommended.

Design and Build

The 6.7-inch AMOLED screen has a 120Hz refresh rate and provides rich colors, silky transitions, and adaptive light for unparalleled clarity.

Display Performance

The Nothing Phone 2a, which runs on the MediaTek Dimensity 7200 Pro, offers smooth media performance and multitasking but may need to have graphics settings adjusted for games.

Performance

There is a 5,000mAh battery for all-day use, and 45W fast charging is supported but needs to be bought separately with a compatible charger.

Battery Life & Charging

The twin 50MP sensors provide high-res images during the day, but nighttime photos can show noise and decreased sharpness.

Camera Performance

Nothing OS 2.5 on Android 14 offers a bloat-free and simple interface, with regular updates bringing the newest features and security patches.

Software & User Interface

The Nothing Phone 2a blends top-of-the-line design with reliable performance, and it is a behemoth in the mid-range market.
