After the Phone 2, which had a higher initial price, the business introduced the Nothing Phone 2a as their third smartphone.

4 Critical Differences Between Nothing Phone 2 & Nothing Phone 2a

On paper, the 50MP camera systems, identical front camera sensors, and similar screens offered by both phones are similar.

Here is a quick comparison between Nothing Phone 2a and Nothing Phone 2

Display

The Nothing Phone 2a’s design departs from the iPhone-like construction of its forerunners, with a unique camera island positioned in the middle. The Phone 2a has a different feel to it in the hand because it has a less expensive plastic frame instead of the more expensive aluminum one found on the Phone 2.

The Phone 2a’s plastic frame has a surprisingly pleasing touch despite the different materials used; however, it may scratch more easily than the Phone 2. The metal chassis and Gorilla Glass back of the Nothing Phone 2 provide exceptional durability.

Unlike the Phone 2a, which has only three LEDs, the Nothing Phone 2 has a Glyph Interface with additional LED lights covering a large portion of its backside.

Display

Both phones have a 6.7-inch 120Hz AMOLED screen, although the Phone 2a has brighter display (700 nits) and somewhat thinner bezels than the Phone 2.

The atypically rounded corner radius of the Nothing Phone 2a could result in a minor decrease in screen area when compared to the Phone 2.

Chipset and Battery

The Phone 2a’s MediaTek Dimensity 7200 Pro chip performs admirably for daily work, but its gaming performance may not match that of the Phone 2’s Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1.

The Nothing Phone 2a has a little bigger battery (5,000mAh) than the Phone 2, which has a 4,700mAh battery. The Phone 2a can still charge at 45W, but it does not support wireless charging.

Camera

Both phones have comparable camera specifications, with a 50MP primary + 50MP ultrawide + 32MP front camera combination, despite their different pricing points.

The two phones’ principal camera sensors are different; the Phone 2a has a Samsung GN9 sensor, while the Phone 2 has a better Sony IMX890 sensor. As a result, the Phone 2 takes sharper pictures, particularly in low light.

The Nothing Phone 2a is well-received for providing almost all of the features of the Phone 2 at a more affordable price. The Phone 2 is superior in terms of build quality and game performance, but the Phone 2a is superior in terms of value for money.

Since the majority of users usually use a case with their smartphones, users may end up with comparable experiences despite the material variances.

The Phone 2a offers great value without making any major compromises for those who value cost and do not view themselves as power users.

Due to its affordable price, the Nothing Phone 2a is among the greatest value options available.

Despite its increased price, consumers who desire a luxury build, top-notch gaming, and camera performance may choose the Phone 2.
