Nothing's a series is launched to provide consumers with premium experience under rupees 30,000.
By the launch of this phone Nothing has showed the world that it is focusing on Indian market and taking Indian consumer's very seriously as there customers. This is the reason Nothing launched this phone in India.
The Nothing Phone(2a) was launched on 5th March, 2024.It comes with a 6.7'' FHD+ Flexible Amoled
touchscreen display with a resolution of 1080x2412 px. This makes the colors look vivid and beautiful to look on the display. Display has 120 Hz refresh rate wich makes the touch experience ultra smooth and lag free.
It has Mediatek Dimensity 7200 Pro processor which is a 5g processor having ultra efficient '4nm' chip with clockspeed as high as 2.8 GHz which supports globally '13' 5g bands which makes this smartphone future ready. It comes with Nothing 0S 2.5 based on Android 14.
Now, talking about the camera, it has a dual camera set-up with a front camera. Both the rear cameras are 50MP. One is the main camera and another is the ultrawide camera. In normal conditions the camera provides good color with a good dynamic range. Both the sensors has OIS support for videography.I comes with plethora of basic features like slow-motion, time lapse, portrait mode, panoroma mode. The photo quality is satisfactory. The front camera comes with a 32MP shooter which provides near-to-natural skin tone which is a good thing Nothing has did. After clicking your shot, the AI will provide you the processed image. So, it does take few seconds in processing the image but the wait is worth it.
In short front camera is really good.
Now the best part of this product which the brand is also highlighting the most is the design of the phone. Nothing is a brand which want to be recognized for making a unique design phone specially by providing the 'Glyph light' which makes them stand out in the competition. The Glyph light is a touch or go like feature. Consumers may like it or may not, but this feature is really useful in certain ways. The phone comes with a plastic black which registers fingerprints frequently if not used with cover.
Nothing has done a great job by balancing the overall weight of the inspite of putting a massive 5000 mAh battery which lasts upto 1 whole day on a single charge .The phone weighs around 190 gm. It also provides fast charging support which charges the battery from 0-100 in less than 1 hour. Nothing has done a good job by providing 2 beautiful and timeless color options that are black and white.
When you open the box,you will first see the device itself. Below the deivce, the box contains documentation, sim card tool and USB Type C-C cable. No charger included in the box, you have to buy it seperately.
So talking about the reviews regarding this phone, Nothing has done a really good job considering it as there only 3rd product as a brand. They have tried to provide a premium flagship experience at an affordable price .This phone has really increased the competition among its rivals. It comes with 3 variants with prices at Rs.23,999 for 8GB RAM,128 GB storage, Rs.25,999 for 8GB RAM,256 GB storage and Rs.27,999 for 12GB RAM,256 GB storage. I would say the phone is best priced at under 25,000 for the specifications it offer. It is surely a value for money smartphone. So if you have decent budget and willing to buy a new smartphone than you can look at this phone as a prime choice.
