    Bruv, 14 Mar 2024Why buy a Nothing Phone 2a, when you can get Oneplus Nord 3... moreare you delusional? How is the Nord 3 the same price or even lower than the 2a? It's 150-200 dollars more expensive.

      Why buy a Nothing Phone 2a, when you can get Oneplus Nord 3 for same money, or even less, with it being similar in capabilities but with a better processor from Mediatek and faster charging? I've yet to see one reviewer mentioning this, but they love to compare this to it's bigger sibling that's 40% more expensive?

          Another boring software review. Is it very hard to take a few UI screenshot and not to see screenshots from an old phone. If feels like you are not reading a software review of the current phone. Just take a few screenshot of the home page with it's nee wallpapers that way the software review section becomes immersive 🥺☹️ 😢

            TechJocky, 14 Mar 2024How many people lost their vision tho? 🤣🤣 I suggest u to read some conversation about that. U will see how many people have eyes problem cause of low pwm. Nobody sees the problem until get it.

                Rob ag, 14 Mar 2024Was the camera review conducted before or after the big 2.5... moreThe camera samples and camera portion of the review was conducted prior to the 2.5.3 update since it was simply not available yet. All of the performance testing was done after the update. We will do our best to re-shoot and upload new camera samples, but that will be time-permitting unfortunately. In the meantime, if you have any particular aspect of the camera post-update that is "testable" in mind I could perhaps offer some information with the phone at hand. Just PM me.

                    I dont understand why gsmarena stopped including the new phones reviewed in the camera comparison tool.
                    It was one of the most effective ways to check if a new phone is worth over your older device etc

                            Within a sea of generics Galaxy AXXs and Redmi/Xiaomi with their cheap-looking OS, this can only stand out, and in a good way.

                            I can only point out the use of antique UFS 2.1 storage technology, something introduced 5 years ago which is decades in this industry. For a company supposedly paying extra attention to details, this is a glaring oversight.

But, they each refer to different things.

                                For eg: 60-90-120-144Hz etc refers to Screen Refresh Rates that improves perceived smoothness in animations and scrolling experience. Whereas, 240-480Hz etc refers to Touch Sampling Rates that reduces touch latency for an improved gameplay experience. Similarly, 1920-2160Hz etc refers to Pulse Width Modulation or Screen Flickering Rate where the higher frequency aids in reducing eye strains at lower screen brightness.
