    "Carl Pei says Nothing Phone (2a) isn't powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7200" yeah it's an optimized 7200...this guy man, i mean, no comments.

      Mills, 20 Feb 2024"...for Nothing over Qualcomm Snapdragon chipsets like... moreThe 782G is based on TSMC's 6nm node, the 7s Gen 2 is based on Samsung's 4nm node, while the 7200 (with or without the suffixes) uses TSMC's 4nm node. So the decision was reasonable, actually.

        Darth Caesium, 20 Feb 20247s Gen 2 is actually not on TSMC, so this works out. That&#... moreDunno man. I have the Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G and the 7s Gen 2 inside has been excellent in efficiency/battery life. I had the 12 Pro 5G before and I was never satisfied in this aspect, and that one had the Dimensity 1080 (TSMC 6nm).

        There's also the 7 Gen 3 they could have used if TSMC was actually the issue, which I don't think it was, because the 782G is also made at TSMC.

            Madmallu, 20 Feb 2024Why you need custom rom when the nothing os is stock one?? ... moreMaybe they want to get rid of telemetry or have system-wide adblocking? Or they're a hobbyist who just likes to tinker with their system? Regardless of anyone's intentions, there is no good reason to bar them from tinkering with their device as they wish.

              "...for Nothing over Qualcomm Snapdragon chipsets like the 782G and 7s Gen2 which were also considered for the Phone (2a)."WHAT?!

                  MakeMotoBetterAgain, 20 Feb 2024ok, but are they going to release the source code so we can... moreWhy you need custom rom when the nothing os is stock one?? Thats weird

                    7200 pro vs 7200 ultra vs 7200? is it just the name? whats next, 7200+?
                    also 18% improvement after 1.5 years? i was expecting more tbh

                      So it's going to have a Dimensity 7200 with extra marketing. Cool.

                        ok, but are they going to release the source code so we can make custom ROMs?
