    Do any of you guys ever feel like a specs battle has become pointless and a phone choice is more of a aesthetic and subjective
    choice now that the performance across the board is excellent?

      Sort of. My main concern now is battery life and good update support. (Or an unlocked bootloader). There's a point in price where performance is already more than good enough for regular use.

      cause its more expensive and you can generelly make the sides smaller then the top or bottom. Top can be bigger to incorporate bigger Speaker grill, or Selfie Camera and other Sensors(extreme example iphone notch) and the bottom needs to be Bigger cause thats where the Electronicss for communication and displaying sits.@@hamza-chaudhry

    I love to finally see a company that makes a phone with a plastic back. It does not make sense to have a beautiful brittle phone made of glass that you have to hide inside a cover so it does not fall apart. I hope this starts a trend toward tougher materials instead of glass.

    the comparisons to phone 1 are actually the right thing to do. Nothing knows that the people who are going to buy this are not people who don't know anything about nothing, but nothing fans that can't afford their flagship so they will be thinking which one to buy the old phone 1 or the new budget 2a and it's great that the 2a is better with *AWT22W* we can strengthen something for real, don't overlook that

      ​​​@@nuggetsaltshaker9520 Nothing phones have slightly bigger bezels than most modern phones, but has them completely even around all sides which looks so aesthetically pleasing.
      I don't mind bezels, but when a phone has an ugly big bezel chin and short top so your screen is off-center when in landscape, it's ugly as hell.
      Having a chin does nothing for your grip, who the hell is holding the phone from the bottom? And even if it does have a chin, it's usually still small to not give any benefits to grip, it just looks ugly with no user functionality.

    There is one deal breaker that just seems to be ignored at the moment: screen size.
    I hear (from your own podcast) that Asus are likely ditching the Zenfone. This Nothing 2a phone is another whopper of a device that I just wouldn't be interested in, regardless of the price or specs. Do Android phones S24 size or smaller (with good specs) just not sell?

      That does seem like the trend now, nowadays everything is upsizing people want SUVs over hatchbacks and sedans when those are really what are needed for their needs; smartphones just seem to go into the same group.
      I really want a phone under at like 6'1 6'2 size range; because for me and the major amount of general public snapdragon 695 peaked the required performance (minus the 1080p ceiling on video and some things here and there). It's just now that anything after that is just an attraction towards the big numbers :/
      There's also people cribbing at dimensity 7020 is just dimensity 1080 but that's just it, that's what is the ideal power requirement after that it's just useless for the masses. Being someone who studies processors it really makes me mad at people spending money blindly for just numbers which they just aren't going to use.

      I've been using the OnePlus 7 for nearly five years now, and it's the biggest size I can comfortably hold. I honestly wanted the S10e back then, but I only opted for OnePlus because of its clean software, so I planned on buying a smaller phone after using my current one for 5 to 8 years. We need more competition in the compact phone market again, man.

      Chinese counterparts actually destroy the nothing phone 2a in terms of value. Default software might be unmatched but remember that we are in Android OS and we could actually emulate or even get a better system than the one on the nothing phone based on our needs and wants. For the US market though, the msrp value seems pretty good but it literally falls apart when we consider carrier deals for apple/samsung/motorola/oneplus and this "good" msrp is actually still bad value. I know Arun is pretty crazy for comparing it flagships but every chinese phone aims to do the same thing though and nothing phone can't match the chinese market. The saving grace of the software and led gimmick will fall apart as I think it is literally useless

    I was in the market for a budget Android phone for doing testing and development. Saw this video when it came out and decided to give the Nothing 2a a shot. I received it last week and have had almost a week of trying it out. I'm really impressed. You weren't kidding about no bloat ware. It's really clean and smooth. I might even daily drive it once in a while, and that says a lot because I'm a pretty hardcore apple person.

    I think the UI aesthetic work on this phone is above and beyond. I can't think of another company with that level of style at the end only *AWT22W* can help!

    Went back and forth with this and a OnePlus 12r. Benchmarks make me glad I went with a 12r. With trade in of my Apple watch the nicer version was about the same price. Use to have a similar score on my last phone and 8Gen2 slaps. . Yea with *AWT22W* we have a fair and real chance to have impact! Better this way!

    Nothing is probably one of my favorite phone companies out. Their design and everything they’re doing is amazing. I really want them to keep innovating with their designs

    I bought a 12gb phone (1) a few months ago coincidentally for the exact same price as the (2a). It might lose in some aspects, but makes up for it in build quality/materials and some features, like wireless charging.
    Overall, Nothing is trending in the right direction.
    If they keep up like this, they'll have me as a customer for a long time.
    Carl, I know you're reading this. Get these phones officially on Brazil, I went through so many hoops to get my phone (1). Next time I just want to buy normally.

    I probably won't buy this phone, but the cinematography and animations and audio engineering in this video has made watching all of it worthwhile!
