Nothing Phone 2a was just launched to the world and we already have a Speed Test comparison for you today! Share your thoughts, and picks, and enjoy the battle!
The Samsung S23 FE would win against the Nothing 2a (They almost have the same price) This comparison would be more interesting because the Nothing phone 2a is the budget version of the Nothing phone 2 and the S23 FE is the budget version of the S23 and the A54 is a year old and the Nothing phone 2a just came out by
In India the nothing phone 2a costs ₹25999($315) for 256gb rom 8gb ram and the A54 for the same specifications costs ₹35000($420) which is a pretty high difference. So I guess the 2a is a better option for me
I definitely believe you. Nothing does an amazing job with the UI! Pixels are like this too. You could talk about benchmarks for a whole month IDC the Pixel UI is just smoother. It's got that super buttery slippery-ness that honestly even beats out the iPhone ui sometimes. Sure maybe it renders 8k HDR video slower or some other insane thing 99.9% of nobody ever does on their phone but the UI is what really matters. It's what we use all day every day.
The Nothing Phone 2a reminds me Galaxy S10e, smallest Galaxy S10 series at that time 😅 I actually like the Nothing's camera design. The time when Samsung was using "center" style, which I loved
Funnily enough I'm currently considering upgrading to the 2a from my S10e lol. Though might wait a month or 2 to see if there's any hiccups with the phone first
> A54 still didn't get One UI 6.1, yet in your video you implied one UI 6.1 didn't do much to A54's animations which is therefore wrong. > You are comparing a 6gb ram variant of A54 with 12gb ram of nothing phone 2a. Totally unfair comparison since you also turned off ram plus while using an extra 8gb of Vram for 2a. Another horribly unfair comparison. You could've atleast done the comparison with an 8gb variant of A54 with ram plus on.
They have products (phones atleast) that deliver and their content strategy on UA-cam is bang on. We can finally conclude that Nothing is a solid new entrant in the smartphone market.
@@imm0rtalguarddude, I've owned many Samsung phones, exynos chips are just horrendous. Xiaomi , OnePlus, Huawei and nothing phone make much better midrange phones compared to Samsung.
Samsung A54 seems better for raw chip performance, they just need to optimize the One UI skin better and the A54 could have beaten out the Nothing 2a, even on a phone like the S23U, sometimes you get stutters because they don't optimize their animations all too well, apparently the animations are a lot better on One UI 6.1 but we'll have to see. And the ram just isn't enough for 2024, but also its a bit unfair that you used the RAM Plus equivalent on the Nothing phone but not RAM Plus on the A54.
@@nickackermanchannelHey Nick! I am considering switching from 13 mini to regular 13 for extra battery. Should i do it and how much more battery is the 13 getting in terms of screen on time and percentages?
At 1:48 instagram, stopped loading old posts on 2a but a54 loads them perfectly.Instead of closing the app on 2a quickly maybe addressing it might have been better to let nothing team look into it and also is the game booster "ON" and set to "performance" in the a54??
had to return nothing phone 1 since it wasnt compatible with my cdma carrier. do you have any information about compatibility with cricket? since they are now oriented to US market
I would still rather buy S21 FE than A54. The Galaxy A54 is so slow for its price. Even the Galaxy Note9 with 60Hz display feels still much smoother than A54.
just looking at the video i can say color calibration is pretty bad on nothing display . Hope they give option to calibrate hue,saturation etc or maybe put standard calibration profile like sRGB.
The camera is a big no on the Phone2a. If i am buying a mid range phone, i will most probably use it as a day to day device which puts the camera priority higher on the list.
I compared my old iphone 11 pro max(4-5 years old now from my closet) to my Dad Galaxy A54 and I’ll say had the same performance(disregard the antutu) at least base on my experience so flagship from 2019 is now comparable to midrange devices from now the only difference is the animations but both having a hiccup sometimes.
Despite the improvements in one UI 6, Samsung still has extremely laggy animations (you can clearly see that when you close the camera app) specially in the A series so the nothing is better even though the nothing seemed like it froze for a second everytime you closed an app. Please do the same test again when the galaxy A55 is released and the pixel 8a too
Hello nick, love the content! Can you please tell should I buy nothing 2a or samsung at 54? And also is the inhand feeling of nothing 2a better than that of the samsung?
Hello! Glad to hear you love the content! Honestly they both feel similar both plastic frames, nothing feels lighter and bigger with a more unique design, the Samsung while nice feels like a cheaper but more basic S phone
The display, the ui,the cameras, the hap tics, the design, the value everything is better on the nothing phone 2a...if you still choose Samsung over Nothing then you are pure samsheep.

@@chewthegum And the Nothing phone 2a is a newer phone so it will have a better GPU and Single core benchmark performance than the A54 and the Nothing phone 2a had more gb ram than the A54
The 2a is a great phone but I can't get over the plastic frame. Yes, you can get a case. However that won't help if the phone falls on the corner, as the area to spread the energy is way too little. I experienced that before on phones with a plastic frame. Plastic back is fine, plastic frame nope. That being said I like how small the bezels are and how it looks from behind.
Samsung A series seriously needs to step up their game now. Its so laggy and behind competitors, at this point the phone is selling just cause of samsung brand image not the product itself 😂
Phone (2a) is a downgrade from even the Phone (1) in some aspects such as the lack of wireless charging & reverse wireless charging, plastic back and frame which is less premium and scratches easier, not to mention less glyph goodness and no recording light indicator, sure it is a slight upgrade in terms of speed (not by much) and battery, probably has better life than even Phone (2), overall cool and competitive for the price but its not a clear upgrade over the Phone (1) like the regular Phone (2) is.
@@TheFriendly92 Well they have compared into the Phone (1) on different occasions.... they have portrayed it as such which is not great given that it's missing features and build quality isn't as premium.
Hey nick! Please reply this. Im choosing to buy a phone 2-3 months later but idk which one to buy yet. Im choosing sorta midrange kinda phones.

The price that makes it.. awesome
The screen color science on the 2a is definitely better than the A54. The white on the A54 has a blue tint.
2A has a nice balance of saturation and accuracy a lot like an iPhone
in the video it looks much bluer than in real life, in real life it looks white
Please do the A55 comparison when it comes out...

My mate is gonna be fuming right now when he just bought a54 not long ago for $400 😂.
Does he have 6gb or 8gb of ram. I have 8gb with no problems
I am surprised that samsung A54 was side by side with 2a with nearly half ram and without ram booster plus it has expandable storage
It was never because of RAM that makes it fast tho. It was the chipset
20GIGS OF RAM? Even my PC doesn’t have that much!
With the Ram booster on it is pretty impressive if I am being totally honest
This thing will feel faster and smoother than the 15 plus
