Faisal Saeed, 04 Jun 2024Hey guys, i have some questions in mind. 1) Nothing 2A ... moreThe top four mid-range in my list: Poco F6, Nothing 2a, Vivo V30 and Samsung A55. I decided on Nothing 2a. Among the most important factor is that there's at least "something new" compared to the rest. UK company and not the usual China, Korea, Taiwan or Japan.

    Hey guys, i have some questions in mind.

    1) Nothing 2A can be a great choice but if i am getting Samsung A55 in the same price, which one should i prefer?

    2) Even though Samsung's UI is much polished thn Nothing's UI, still Samsung has more features that supports AI, which Nothing is missing.

    3) Is the foam factor from Nothing is enough to purchase that phone for years to come. Please explain in detail?

      Nothing special

        Anonymousboi, 03 Apr 2024Not even iphone 15 base models offer those, and you expect ... moreOn Android yes. Apple does that on purpose to upsell it as a feature.
        USB3 should be bare minimum for any phone today and 3.1 for higher end ones.

        What should matter more is still security updates as an outdated phone is not good considering what people do on them (banking, payments etc)

As a previous Pixel owner, Google and Nothing are the only 2 serious mid range phones worth considering, both on performance and support. The decision is simple if a serious camera user, pay more and buy the pixel, if not save money and just be satisfied with a reasonable camera and great user experience.

In particular those Apple toys. When will Apple owners realise Alphabet Inc manage much of Apple's search engine processing, it's all about money and data management control.Every mobile has compromises, but very few with the 2a, for the price of the phones, who cares anyway

I've been using the Phone 1 for 2 years and it's amazing. I don't like spending thousands for flagships, so it's perfect for me. It's quick, snappy and the camera is decent. Go chill a bit.

                                  I understand when you first boot up the phone you have a choice of the Nothing OS launcher or the Android launcher. Can anyone tell me what it is like to use the android launcher? Is it like stock android/pixel experience? Thanks.

                                    I like the phone.I know it's not perfect but still it's good. Actually using it right now and can confidently say its amazing, at least for me.My last phone was a Samsung A12, so it was a unbelievable upgrade. Remember, nothing is a very very new company and are still updating their devices. All the software is still getting better and I'm sure that all the bugs and camera prossesing being bad will disappear. If you like the design, software, hardware and have the money, I cannot recommend it enough.bye :)
