This "POC" as people here call it has more innovation than many of its competitors. It also stands out among the slabs made by other brands.

Is it possible to use another launcher/UI? The black & white isn't my cup of tea, although my son likes his 2A quite a lot...

LimeAlz, 08 Aug 2024Gsmarena is weird. They did a full on review about two exac... moreThat's because they didn't actually do a full review of this new device. Most of it is copy-pasted from the original phone 2a review. This is very common on GSMArena and while it can come across as lazy, at times, I feel like you can't blame them when companies launch new phones like there's no tomorrow.
This year in particular, there's this new trend of launching follow-up phones within months, with little to no upgrades and an increased price tag. Just a sad, industry-wide cashgrab trend.

Great review. I hope you don't get demotivated by the comments. weirdly enough you have gotten a very toxic community but it's ok. best wishes.

Good battery score but how much is it in old system ? Hows the standby drain ? Still not used to the new scoring system. Is there other sites that gives battery standby rating ?

Why did Nothing think it was a good idea to have a 50MP photo output from the selfie by default? Why wouldn't you just bin down the pixels like any other sane OEM (a.k.a anyone not named Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo (though they don't do this with 50MP selfie cameras) or OnePlus), especially when you're dealing with a Quad Bayer sensor?

idkBg091, 08 Aug 2024Funny how GSMArena rated phone 2a plus 4.2 star's just... moreThis is a structural issue on gsmarena's part
They don't want categorise smartphones into flagship, upper mid range, mid range , budget in their rating system
So their measure of quality will leave some implications of some phones ratings coming across as contrived
They acknowledge the difference in review paragraphs for cameras saying "for it's class" but have not make effort in demonstrating quality judgement through the rating system under the context of classes
They could change the colours of the stars to represent this but they'll likely never take this feedback

4.2 for this crap? Either GSMArena is too generous or has been bought by Nothing itself.

For $399, the Nothing Phone (2a) Plus offers a distinct design, a big, bright screen, and quick wired charging. It also performs quite well, thanks to its combination of a MediaTek 7350 processor and 12GB of RAM. That said, the phone's limited availability and 5G connectivity are likely deal breakers for most people. If you don't want to deal with all of those hurdles, Samsung's Galaxy A35 5G provides comparable performance and reliable 5G for the same price.
