Fast processor, excellent large screen - bright, good colour balance and, unlike some rivals, possible to cool backlight to make a fairly neutral white - and good sound quality through speaker and call reception. The camera improves a lot after early May firmware update. More natural colour than is the norm and very sharp. HDR not quute as effective as on Google Pixel 4a this phone replaced, but still pretty good. The phone is generally very bug free and battery lasts for ages. No wireless charging but, aside from that, really don't know what else most people would miss if they went for this rather than a more expensive phone.

I was looking for a mid-range phone to run the variety of apps I have loaded, and the Nothing brand had been popping up a lot on my feeds. I didn't feel the need to go up to the Nothing 2 as it was out of my price range for what I needed.
Until now I've been settling around the £150-£200 mark on phones and having an okay time - they did what I needed. My Huawei ran for ages but had to drop that one due to limitations introduced. Blackview was where I went next until the phone bricked after about 2 years.
So I took a punt on the Nothing 2a. I liked the idea of the simplicity and the price point was not far out of my range to hold me back.

I have to say I was impressed from the first. The box was tiny compared to most with a funky embossed design on the inner carton. Paper packaging with the phone, charging cable and the usual small phone guides.
Setting up was simple and I easily transferred the data from my old phone, and I was away.
Nothing came with almost Nothing - the usual Android/Google basics, and some extras to run the phone and that's it - no bloatware.
The interface is clean and responsive, and, having downloaded the Nothing icon pack, I also had a clean monochrome display - something I wasn't sure I'd get on with, but there's no distractions.
The options to customise the home screen were the best I've experienced so far - essentially the whole home page is your playground. This is the first time I've been able to organise ALL my regular apps on one page, and I've also had room to add 3 widgets for showing key information, and altered the settings so I have 5 columns, with my most used groups set larger to easily access commonly used apps like MFA.
The dot matrix style text is also clear and pleasing to read, and you can switch off the folder names to gain even more screen space.
You do have the option of also reverting to the Android style interface if that's more your style, so you are not tied to the Nothing view, but I have no intention of switching!
I'm also liking the Always on display option - I can mow have my basic info at a glance without unlocking the phone - time, date, next alarm, and icons to show app notifications, as well as battery level, and flipping the phone over to show the Glyphs, it flashes and minimises the battery drain.
The ringtones and notification tones are in the same basic style - not overly keen on most of them, but you can add the composer app and then create your own complete with LED combos, or add in items from your music library, so you are not short of options.
The camera is okay for my needs - The front camera does seem to lack some focus close up (trying to capture some text from the back of a device while using the screen to see where I was aiming) but I got round this using the rear camera, capturing a video, then using the in-built tools to grab a screenshot from the video, so problem solved.
Battery for me generally lasts 2 days with the always on setup, and around 3-4 hours screen time according to the stats the phone gathers.
There's plenty more for me to explore still
Overall, even though I've only had it a short time, I am extremely pleased with the phone and I've already added the Nothing CMF ear buds (which for me is unusual as I dislike in-ear buds normally, but I was sold on the option of not using noise cancellation - I'll probably post a review once I have used them in earnest!)

There was a known problem with Android Auto not functioning correctly.

However Nothing have issued an update and everything is now good.

This is an excellent phone. Good battery, good screen, no bloatware whatsoever.

The only thing I'd like added is the ability to part charge. But hopefully that will follow.

I'm comparing this to my Zenfone 8. I'm not a Phone Gamer.
Quick phone. Battery life is far and away longer lasting than the Zenfone. Screen is very nice. I've heard of issues with the Fingerprint reader, I've not encountered any of those issues, it works just as well as my Zenfone.
It's a very big phone, so takes some getting used to.
Niggles I don't like:
1: No option for separate ring tones for each SIM. You can setup ringtones for each contact, but that's no use if you have a Work and a Personal SIM and hundreds of contacts.
2: No carousel display option. On most androids to can scroll the page left or right and end up back to Home. On this you can only scroll Right, and then you have to scroll Left to get back Home.
3: Camera is just OK.
It is a mid-range phone though, so you have to expect compromises v's price.
I recommend the JETech tempered screen protector and Clear case. Working in IT we buy these by the boxload for the hundreds of iPhones we have, and they're high quality and durable.

Edit: 2-3 months in. Very happy with the phone. No issues to report. Used to the size of it now (I prefer compact phones). Three updates sent to the device from Nothing in the period.

This is a great alternative to the usual Samsung A-series phones, and the Google Pixel series. Great battery life, an uncluttered version of Android 14 ( which has had 3 useful updates for performance enhancements) the reception is very good, a snappy and responsive interface, camera is pretty good after the performance updates which have targeted the camera. Battery life is two days of average, not intensive, use. Glad I chose it? YES!

Absolutly user friendly, very customisable and creative in any way you can think of. Don't like the app icons?.. Choose your own?! (from emojis, even black and white etc).
Fast, loud, screen brightness and accessibility..
SO EASY to copy old data/contacts etc and to connect to accounts.
Great size, not too big or small.
The "lights" on the back are adaptable, link to contacts for certain patterns, or just general music... Timer function included so no screen time... So impressed!!!

This is such a disappointment. The Bluetooth struggles to connect to my glucose sensor and continually stops syncing. The screen response moving between open apps decides when it wants to work or not. Good battery life but such a terrible experience it's being returned.

Colour Name: BlackSize Name: 12+256GBStyle Name: Phone (2a)Verified Purchase
So I have owned a OnePlus device for a few years starting with OnePlus 5. I've come from other devices but I've had the OnePlus 5 for at least 6 years I pulled the trigger because of the fingerprint not recognizing my finger to the OnePlus n200 5G. The reason I bought it was because it was cheap the specs seemed okay but in real world use after over 2 years it is not the phone I wanted nothing then comes out with a bunch of phones but the price was were not right. So after deliberating the idea of purchasing this phone after many reviews and frankly I don't believe most of the reviews that are on YouTube the YouTubers just make random videos to make money but that's besides the point so I pulled the trigger and got a nothing phone 2a. Wow wow wow I wish I would have bought it sooner I am so happy I have this phone the updates keep making it better 12 gigs of RAM plus the RAM booster option is phenomenal the difference between the n200 and this phone is astronomical the 2A phone is so much faster so much speedier so much quicker at swapping apps my phone the m200 would lock up or delay or lag so bad it was just frustrating because I didn't know what to do but if you're reading this and you've got this far do not hesitate to buy this phone this will last you for the next 5 years I guarantee you they have an agreement that they'll push updates for 3 years and 5 years for security updates at this point it's totally worth $350.

Colour Name: MilkSize Name: 8+128GBStyle Name: Phone (2a)Verified Purchase
Es un telefonazo, lo único que no me ha gustado es el tipo de almacenamiento que es UFS 2.2 y la RAM es LPDDR4X, pero igualmente va muy bien en el día a día y fluido, en lo personal creo que influye mucho el SO de Nothing, se nota que le echan cariño y lo tienen al día, así que yo creo que este cacharro en 2-3 años va a seguir ágil en el día a día, aunque no pongo la mano en el fuego por ninguna marca.

El resto es un pepino por el precio, buena pantalla aunque algo bajito el brillo, diseño llamativo, aunque se resbala muchísimo, buen rendimiento y una batería que no tiene ningún sentido, mi maximo uso fueron 6 horas y 30 minutos de pantalla y me quedaba todavía un 34% de batería.

Las cámaras son muy buenas, todas ellas, la principal lo hace muy bien, el gran angular es el mejor en su rango de precio sin duda, y la delantera es muy buena, aunque el fondo pierde bastante información, buen video y fotografía nocturna.

Así que si te lo planteas y no te quieres gastar mucho más por un A55 por ejemplo, es un teléfono que vas a disfrutar, y no, no me paga Nothing, ojalá...
