Nothing Phone (2a) — Reviews

Reviewers have had differing takes on what this phone represents and where it stands in the market. Here’s what they had to say: The Verge touched upon the feature set and the price point that Nothing had chosen, and how both of these could be (2a)’s strong suits. The Guardian also appreciated the price discrepancy between the (2a) and Nothing’s previous phones. It also talked about how this could be a great mid-range killer. That price tag also makes it easier to appreciate what is here: the Glyph Interface feels like a fun extra, and the informative always-on display is one of my favorites on any phone. Engadget made a case for how Nothing Phone (2a) was more than just an ordinary midrange device. Frankly, the Google Pixel 7a and iPhone SE (2022) — two phones I’ve spent a great deal of time using as my daily drivers — should be afraid. PCMag highlighted the other side on how the Glyphs did more harm than good.
