It's a pretty neat phone from Nothing. They should focus more on midrange phones like this, before heading for flagship territory.

@@jitramsoren3757 if you play on medium settings, it'll supposedly reach 39° by the third hour, but it'll likely be lag free, however i won't confirm it'll be 60fps, for that you may need to play on low - and this is for warzone (new hence less optimized). For the COD mobile, yeah ez pz you can play 3hrs+ at 60fps at around 37-39° without throttling

I think it's worth noting that this is using UFS2.2 storage. So R/W speeds are a little slower.

False. They have software optimization to have basically the same / exact raw speed of UFS during day of use, they explain that on their channel.

I like the Nothing Phone 2a but has some cons. The body is IP54 rated. The back finish though is not my taste, the flat display is great, battery life is excellent, but no charger in the box. The camera set-up is best in the class since most midranges have okayish ultawide cam or sometimes mediocre uw cam. But with unfinished software.
@AquilaeYT 22 дні тому
1. you can have trash IP68 (hey S20FE) if the implementation are bad so it doesn't matter that it's IP54. 2. Samsung doesn't put charger in the box too and the charge is just absolutely too SLOW 3. Software...haha...One UI is clearly not better since it draw the battery by a LOT compared to the light Nothing OS, Nothing is not perfect but Samsung is absolutely not perfect.

@josebenjamin1777 22 дні тому
Depends on your use tbh I'll choose Poco X6 pro too for gaming. Specially for emulation gaming X6 pro is the Champ!! But as a Xaomi user myself rn. I'm starting to get tired because of the lack luster software support. Always there's an issue whether its cellular reception, volume bugging, dead boot (my friend actually experienced this). I'm willing to give Nothing a try and maybe in the next 5 years i can give you a proper feedback.

@@AquilaeYT Each and every Chinese OEMs make their Android skin to look like iOS, there's no originality, full of unnecessary things, makes it slow on low specs devices. Not a single Chinese OEM has near stock Android experience. OnePlus' OxygenOS had some originality but they also replaced that lightweight OS with heavy, bloated ColorOS. Speaking of Xiaomi's HyperOS, I was really hoping for them to solve the mess which they created over the years, but no, they just made it more iOS clone. There's no way these Chinese OEMs will stop making iOS clones anytime soon.
