                              Nothing phones are not part of Android Enterprise Partner list, hence many corporate who uses Microsoft Intune Portal or any other work profile apps, won't allow Nothing phones to run any work apps, ie Email, Teams, Authentication apps etc

                                  But the first part remains - would it be ok to re-test (after reinstalling the phone from scratch) the battery life?
                                  It's astonishing how that particular device can achieve 50% more than any other on the market... Imho the sw is tweaked and not what we would get when buying it...
                                  Hope I'm wrong and it's awesome, instant buy if that is the case.. 9h gaming...wow!!!!

                                    Can you compare Nothing Phone (2a) (12/256) with Samsung Galaxy A55 (12/256) in terms of performance, value for money and software support? The prices of both phones are similar in my country - appx. 349 USD. Thx!!

                                      I put a order one online, seems like a decent phone overall. Dont mind the plastic back, will use it with a case. Was waiting for Google Pixel 8a, but the rumours suggest it will get a much higher price than Pixel 7a. So the Nothing Phone 2a will be a good option.

                                        Wesker, 14 Mar 2024Within a sea of generics Galaxy AXXs and Redmi/Xiaomi with ... moreWould that honestly matter though? Google uses UFS 3.1 on their 1000 USD flagship and it's not like other midrangers are far ahead. For example the Redmi Note 13 Pro uses UFS 2.2. Nothing's optimization is damn near classic Oneplus/Google level so I'd say them using UFS 2.1 is completely okay if Xiaomi can get away with UFS 2.2 on their midranger. This phone's price makes it okay, not saying it's great but a midranger can't be perfect in every sense and still cost less. Corners have to be cut to save money and they did a fine job.
