Nothing Phone 2a REVIEW – LO BUENO Y LO MALO
The day has come, the time has come, the time has come The analysis of the new Nothing Phone 2A has arrived. The time has come to tell you absolutely everything good, also some things that I don’t like has finished liking, because you already know that no phone is perfect, everyone has good things, everyone has things bad, so I have squeezed it to the maximum in the last few weeks and I tell you absolutely everything. First of all, and I want to state of this before beginning the analysis itself saying, I don’t like this custom that
is being taken lately, not from Nothing, but by many manufacturers, to drop pearls until the moment arrives moment of the presentation in which it is gives some other detail that was not known, but basically the entire spec sheet, all the aesthetics at the design level and all this, And key things, such as the processor, Well, it is known from the manufacturer itself before the presentation. This makes the analyzes that cost us so much time, lose a little magic, okay? But hey, the fact is that we have to live together. with this, and I repeat that
it is not a thing of this manufacturer, but from the vast majority of manufacturers. That which, Let’s brighten the face, let’s go with quite a few things hello
and I have to say that it is extraordinarily dirty. If it were a little more matte I think it would be better. Of course, despite being made of plastic, You can see that it is of quite good quality because It cleans super easy. As you can see we have different details in this curious rear with different layers, different heights and the truth still seems to me quite original and also two super details important. The first is that we meet again the Gleef interface. That’s if it’s not like the phone 2 for example. It is a
little more modest and what is this glyph? Well, it is a customizable LED lighting system. for ringtones notifications but also for a timer the indicator of volume although they can even be integrated with different applications from scratch in this case we have uber somato or google calendar calendar can also work when you play music and as I say it is quite customizable. The other detail at an aesthetic level and the truth I liked it a lot but there are also people who does not finish seeing it, that is to say that now it is available
horizontally and not vertically in addition to being in a centered position seems a little face look 161.74 millimeters high 76 .32 wide and 8.55 millimeters thick for weighing 190 grams is not a small smartphone, I warn you. It has IP54 certification against splashes and slightly against dust. I think it would be pretty cool to start applying some kind of color note. In fact with this device technically It has been done because the one who is white has the black buttons. However, they don’t have this one in black. white color that would have been quite quite
cool in my opinion. At the biometric level we have an unlock facial that works very very well, as long as when we obviously have good light because if it’s night, it’s very dark, we have the lights off, since it only works through a camera, well We won’t be able to do anything there. And then we have a fingerprint sensor located at the bottom, we don’t have it on the side but it is under the screen that works really good. The issue is that the animation itself, that this can be modified, the animation itself as you
see it’s slow because nobody wants it to be like that. I don’t really know why, but as you see the animation is slow. I have not modified anything, it is as is, it came standard, but I think that animation should be a little more electric, faster. And at the audio level we have a double stereo speaker that sounds super loud, although with the volume to the maximum it is true that you hear a little canned and sounds slightly distorted. If you turn it down one point, even two, you can hear it enough. loud and it
sounds much better, less crowded. How are you? What are we going to talk about now? From the cameras. In fact, I’m going to tell you first about what It is the hardware itself, of which cameras we have. We have a Sony IMX615 front camera 32 megapixels and on the back we have two 50 megapixel sensors signed by Samsung, we have a GN9 for the main and a JN1 for the wide or ultra wide angle. But let’s better look at examples although I think that you are going to love it knowing that it costs little more
than €300. Let’s go with a video with the front camera. We continue with the video recording and hey, it I have put, as is logical in different situations and it has come out very well and I recognize that that in some other takes in some other example I had an evil plan to see if it would click but not. Very good stabilization, in fact today it is stabilization imaging optics, very good color rendition with an HDR pretty top. In fact it surprised me since except perhaps a Pixel 7a or a Galaxy A54 that can now
be find more or less for this price, what we usually find is garbage. And I say it directly, without half measures, either because the audio recording is very bad or because it doesn’t stabilize well or things like that, we usually find a video section that it leaves much to be desired. Night photography benefits in this case of a decent ultra wide angle, something Something we recognize, in the mid-range Normally we live on 8 or 12 megapixel sensors as much, sometimes even a little more, but we usually have an ultra wide angle that They’re a little
meh. Here you are not going to see something that leaves you speechless, but the combo that both cameras make is really well and I have obtained very decent photographs. Yes indeed, sometimes he forces the machinery and we see a little of noise in the skies or textures a little washed, but overall very good. Portrait mode is, again, very good. Look at that level of detail, it’s not bad at all, although it is true that this happened to me at some point what another photo, I have seen some areas that are out of focus or trimming
is not always done correctly. This needs to be polished a little, but in the In most cases the photos obtained are very good in color, white balance and all this. Then there is the selfie that, seeing the sensor, pointed high, and yes, even though sometimes my bangs he has made us sweat, but well, I think he does The cutout is quite good. And yes, during the day is when I have gotten better photographs, to the surprise of absolutely nobody and that’s where the ultra wide angle really shines brighter. Let’s see, the main camera gives us
better results, This is more than obvious, this happens in practically all phones on the market, but we have again as I told you before That word, right? Combo. We have a combo, we have a duo, we have a tandem that is very well understood because, for For example, we normally see in this range of prices like the ultradangular and the main camera They do not always agree in terms of color, the color palette. Let’s see maybe something a little more subdued, a little more vivid depending on which one you do it with, but here in
almost all the examples what I have found it to be something quite balanced We have results that many times between the two cameras agree quite a bit so They have done a good job in this regard so which at a photographic level really has little drawback. First of all and speaking of the screen what I want to highlight above all else although it has very interesting sections of These are what I’m talking about now I want to highlight something that In the mid-range it is difficult to find. I’m not saying impossible, but very complicated, and
it is symmetry, something that even in the high range It doesn’t always happen. Now we have more and more regularly, luckily, in the mid-range, but usually at higher prices. What does this mean about symmetry? Well we have, both below and above and on the sides, exactly the same separation between what is the chassis of the device and where the panel begins. We are talking about bezels of just 2.1mm which is very little. The panel is of the AMOLED type with a diagonal 6.7 inches. As I told you before, It’s not exactly a small phone, so
If you don’t like those big phones, Well, this one is certainly not for you. The resolution goes up to Full HD+, 1084 x 2412, which results in 394 pixels per inch and the maximum peak brightness reaches 1300 nits but will be more in the range between 700 and 1100 nits on a regular basis is approximately worth it. Outdoors I haven’t had much problem display content but clearly indoors It looks infinitely better, of course we have a refresh rate that goes in blocks of 30 to reach 120 hertz but it starts precisely in 30 hertz so
let’s see we don’t have the technology and LTPO, we were not going to demand it for this price either, but the fact that will save your eye health is we have a PWM or width modulation 2160 Hz pulse. This is a lot and in fact in the mid-range They are almost always Realme, Honor and I don’t know if any more what they offer this, so hey, great to get this started. somehow to be quite common, in translated Christian, which ensures risk-free flashing to avoid eye strain when looking at the screen for very long periods. With
this we get our eyes tired less and we avoid the appearance of migraines. There are people who are very very sensitive to the issue of that flicker that we see with the naked eye, well we are almost never able to see however It’s there and this means that sometimes well Let’s have a stupid vision or what can we do? even causing pain in the head. I repeat that this is something that happens to a little one percentage of the population, but it is good that manufacturers include a very high PWM. From the software I start
with something that is extraordinarily well, since it is Android 14 and Nothing OS 2.5, in this case it is 2.5.3. And also, add 3 years of updates of the system and 4 years of security patches. So at the support level I think we are quite well covered and they usually don’t take too long in releasing different versions, different patches, etc, etc As for the operation, everything It has gone quite well. There has been time to receive not one, but two updates to polish properly In addition to updating applications of Nothing like the Launcher and others
Well, As you can see, the main screen is full of widgets and I have left this like this so that See the different sizes, but you can have it Much cleaner, okay? In fact, I don’t normally have it that way, but, well, I’ve started to include widgets and there is time, access to a specific way of the camera, which is the largest that measures 24 millimeters, what do I know, audio recorder, compass, applications from third parties, like in my case we have Fiddley there, of everything. And, if you’re curious, yes, of course you can have
it with the icons in black and white, much more nothing. But in my case, I prefer it quite colorful, I have already told you before, that I was A little bit of color is missing, right? Then you can change the screen widgets blocking, also the shortcuts, and of course, the wallpaper. It’s more, you can create using artificial intelligence Unique wallpapers, that no one will have. Something we saw originally, I guess You will remember, in the Google Pixel, but that Now Nothing adopts and it’s great. As for operation, the only thing you need know is that
it goes very, very fluid, very fast, is going in the right direction and I think that together with the Glyph interface, which is somewhat different, which you may like more or less, but it makes it a little different, the software is by far the best they have this company. I have many things to tell you about hardware, to each one more important, But I think we can start, if that’s okay with you, by some synthetic tests, some benchmarks, that many you like them, and then I give you my opinion on the subject of performance. The
processor already existed, but MediaTek and Nazin They have made different modifications joint, so this Dimensity 7200 becomes on the 7200 Pro. We have a manufacturing run by TSMC, with its 4nm N4P manufacturing process, and that, Translated, it is extraordinary news. We have two top performance cores, Cortex -A715, at almost 3GHz, and six cores for tasks not so demanding, Cortex-A510. That is, we have a SoC, a microprocessor which is mid-range, but not top-of-the-line. That is, this does not compete with a Snapdragon, I don’t know, a 7S, G2 or something like that, but it is a little
below, but we It offers quite important performance. The GPU is a Mali-G610MC4. Come on, MediaTek and Nozzin, what they have done is work on efficiency, power, optimization, consumption, and have given it a somewhat different approach As for integration, software and hardware to get the most out of it. The result is very good and we have 8 o 12 GB of RAM and 128 or 256 of storage in two configurations at least in Europe and Mexico. 8 plus 128, 12 plus 256, It incorporates a 12,000 mm2 graphite vapor chamber. Performance in demanding video games is very
good but keep in mind that it is a gamma medium to dry works correctly but also There is another issue that you have to take into account. and it is the storage one because yes 128 gigabytes They give you a doubt and whether it will be enough or not to see go for the 256 gigabytes to avoid problems At the connectivity level we have Bluetooth 5.3 dual sim nfc for making gps mobile payments wifi 6 the best summary I can give you is that for what you are paying you receive something pretty good and in
case anyone has doubts it is not more powerful than a Zinfond 2 but yes it is more powerful than a Zinfond 1. Let’s say it’s in the middle. Let’s go with the unboxing, you already know that I because I would like to put it almost at the end of the video and we are also going to talk about the battery. Be careful because, just as it happened with the Phone 2 and with Phone 1, We do not have a charger included in the box. Very important so that no one takes away later The surprise, you
will have to use a charger that you have home or buy the 45 watt one which is the maximum that this device reaches, I believe it is fairly good, that costs 30-35 euros for a little thing like that, like that You may have to check out. This detail to me I will never like it, it will never fit me, but unfortunately it is something we have become accustomed to had to get used to. We have a 5000 mAh battery and, curiously, It is the largest capacity battery of the three devices that the company has launched.
Added to the processor and the screen, hey, good combo to achieve between 6 and 7 hours of active screen on average. Sometimes a little more, others a little less. We do not have wireless charging and that is he had to put the scissors in here and over there because if we talk about the price of launch costs approximately 130 euros less than phone 1 so this one section that of autonomy and that of the battery that gives a good result and we arrive at the section of the money of the good price I tell you
in euros and in Mexican pesos we have 8 plus 128 for 329 euros or 6,699 pesos 12 plus 256 per 379 euros or 7,799 pesos I think as is right now the market that is in fact is one of the stripes and not the most competitive anything the most competitive between 300 and 400 euros I think it is very well done I I think which is a phone that practically does not exist nothing you say Oysters is that for what I’m paying I could have this, maybe some detail But in general, the set is very
good I hope you liked the video, fun You have purchase links, yes at the moment to publish they are not there I will post them later In the description and in a pinned comment And see you in future videos, bye
