The initial price is a problem in some markets
For Nothing 2a's asking price, I can get a Oneplus Nord 3.

Nothing consistently makes the worst choices when it comes to choosing SoCs, putting the Snapdragon 7 Gen 2 would have been the better move than the mediatek junk chosen.

MrWhoseTheBoss said the main camera slightly excels the job. Ultrawide, not so much but is serviceable.
The selfie, 32MP with 1080p, is decent but not ahead of the competition. He said the camera department is and I quote, "middle of the line"

David 040882, 05 Mar 2024Idk why all the hate, it genuinely looks like a capable dev... moreI would never trust them after the Sunbird bullshit. It took a 12 year old 10 minutes to find the huge security issues and they gave a shit less. Sub par phone and won't sell worth a shit in the U.S. The OnePlus 12R is ten times better phone. Carl leaving was the best thing to happen to OnePlus. Now nothing is price competing themselves out of existence in a year or two. Race to the bottom I guess. Meanwhile OnePlus is firing on all cylinders. Nothing just has bad gas....

PureOS, 05 Mar 2024Phone with 650€ price tag i don't count in midrange ca... moreIt is just overpriced in EU. In US it is now 500 for base model, and for better SoC, faster charging and bigger battery and of course the better build compare to plastic it is completely acceptable imo.

This phone makes the Nothing Phone 2 feel even weirder like this has the same camera system as the Phone 2, the Phone 2 had the same camera system as the Phone 1. I just don't understand anymore man. Like, for this price it's an outrageously good camera system, for the Phone 1 it was a good camera system but for the Phone 2 it was merely okay. I just hope Phone 3 adds some different cameras and if not, at least go and work with some photographers or something to tweak and tune the cameras and add modes like Vivo or Xiaomi do and then that'd help them squeeze out more value from these cameras.
Anyways I LOVE this design, this phone's glyph lighting is minimal and the camera is centered, a huge breath of fresh air compared to the iPhone clone the previous phones were and how Samsung phones look now. This phone reminds me a lot of the Note9 which although wasn't that good looking of a phone imo was still good enough. This seems like an absolute banger from Nothing. Their software looks insanely cool to me and since they're small company they give nice updates and don't care about slowing down older phones or nerfing the battery. Great job Nothing, keep it up! Hope the Nothing Phone 3 adds some spiciness to the cameras, if they can do that then they'll be the easiest choice but again, their Phone 2a has IP54 and their Phone 2 has IP54 as well, they're all too similar yet so vastly different in pricing that I don't think the expensive one is properly justified. I don't care about RAM much after 8 gigs, just wish they started from 256 GB on the expensive model to justify the price or something, more storage is never bad.

Looks nicer than the original model. Reminds me of the Galaxy S10e, which is a good thing.
