Nothing Phone 2a Plus | Unboxing & 3 Day Review | What's New?

Unboxing the Nothing Phone 2a Plus with a three day review of this mid-range phone's camera tech, gaming abilities, battery life & more. What's changed for the Nothing Phone 2a Plus vs the original 2a and 2 flagship?

Well, not a huge amount! You now have a 50MP selfie camera and fresh vivid mode, but the rest of the optics are identical to the original. Battery charging is slightly faster now at 50W, while the Nothing Phone 2a Plus also offers a performance boost. The old Mediatek chipset has been ripped out and replaced with a Dimensity 7350 Pro, which offers a bit more gaming grunt.

Once again, you get great battery life and that slick Nothing OS experience with Glyph Lighting. The Nothing Phone 2a Plus is certainly one of the best mid-range smartphones of 2024. Although if you're not fussed about games, you'll be just as happy with the old 2a. The rest of the experience is almost identical, to the point where most people would struggle to notice any differences.

So that's my unboxing and review of the Nothing Phone 2a Plus. Check out my round-up of the best mid-range smartphones of 2024 for a closer look at the competition and let us know your thoughts below!
