    This won MKBHD's best value phone of the year award. https://youtu.be/E76CUtSHMrU?si=zxc1uuM7DIs0lqfi

      Honestly, who cares what MKBHD says? He was always a great videographer but terrible reviewer

        Apparently nearly 20M subs, and every time there’s a new Apple product review, it instantly appears on the Trending page.
        I do value his reviews not as an actual, objective “review” of the product itself, but as a summary of his subjective journey with the product and how he has integrated it (or tried to) into his day-to-day life. He presents himself as relatable to the average blue-state American, even though we have seen that he is FAR from trustworthy at times.
        But if I want a more objective review, I’d probably look at Short Circuit, since the LTT Labs team tests phones, including iPhones, which is a rarity to find nowadays from reputable testing outlets.
        If I wanted a combination of a “review” and a journal, I’d look at Mac Address, but that’s gone for the time being.

        TL;DR, MKBHD has a VERY large niche with subjective “reviews” that instead aim to tell stories about the products he features, and then determine whether he would keep using the device and recommend it to others, and if so, how. If you want a more objective review, look elsewhere.

    Edge 50 for $448 is a better deal.

      Mediocre battery life, curved screen, updates until Android 16 and security updates until 2027 for $21 more. Much better…

  • +1

    It's allor Nothing

  • Can anyone recommend this if they own one?
    I need an upgrade and missed out on the Edge Neo deal of the century and the edge 50 pro the other day.
    Thats the market im looking at.

    • My son owns one. He loves it.

    8gb in 2024? They are taking the biss surely

    • Taking the 8iss

    • You need 32GB in your phone?

      • -8

        Do you just make calls with your phone? With my phone i make calls, use maps, listen to music, browse the internet, reddit, youtube, i control all my smart devices and use all my messaging apps AND social media.

        No i dont need 32gb ram but the more the better, how is this not common sense? It's 2024, not 2012

        • +1

          All those 2012 phones with 8gb of ram. The memories…

          Honestly dude, 8gb is totally fine.

    Great phone for the price but no esim is a deal breaker for me sadly

    • +4

      It was ticking all the boxes for me while watching reviews, then I read your comment
      Deal breaker

    • May i ask why it is?

      • +2

        esim is sooo convenient for travel etc

    • was thinking to get this as a spare phone, then read about no esim which is a deal breaker for me too.

  • I have one. Really good!

    • If you had $500 for another phone would you buy the same with how good it is?

      • Absolutely the same. Battery is way better than my edge 50

  • I'm waiting on my Pixel 7a to come back from warranty, and they said its possible it'll get replaced with a Pixel 8a.

    Thoughts on whether the Nothing2a is better than the pixels?

      This is the gsmarena comparison https://m.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=12937&idPhone2=…

      Honestly I like the Pixel AI processing of images, they come out so good on the first take often.

      Pixels also have the 80% bypass battery charging feature. Look into it. It makes for long lifetime batteries, it's amazing

      • Thanks for the info!
        But honestly considering my 7a was only 1.5 years old and i had to send it off for warranty because of battery bloat, I'm not too sold on the bypass feature rn…

      • +2

        Pixels also have the 80% bypass battery charging feature.

        I can confirm that the Nothing Phone 2a has this also. I've been using it for several months now.

  • which would you rather have, this or the Moto Edge 50 Pro?

    • NP2a. No curved screen. Tasteful OS additions to Android, but still mostly stock. Good performance and battery.

      • Moto edge 50 pro has better display ,better camera ,better processor ,better build quality ,the os is literally stock and have Samsung dex like ready for

        The only downside is the curved screen

  • Now they put down their price, bought one about 3 weeks ago from the Nothing website for $449 because they were cheaper than JB .

  • Does anyone own this and can confirm it works with Optus WiFi calling?
