    *NP2 in my testing couldn't even keep up Pixel 6a in camera's.* I didn't even bother to test it out with my Pixel 7 pro. I did enjoy the performance on NP2. *NP2a is much inferior.*

      Never compared the older models. But unfortunately you're right. Camera isn't Nothing's strong suit. Still a lot of room for improvement in that department...

    I shifted from OnePlus 12 256gB this July to Nothing 2a Blue unfortunately I did not get the white one or the special edition but no regrets from the shift.
    I realised that OxygenOS virtually became Oppo and ColorOS. It also made me think of my choices going further. I also like that Carl Peid reviews other phones on the channel. Never seen any company do that giving a message out there.

      Awesome to hear! It's not too common for people to ditch a major phone brand for an underdog like Nothing. It's great that it worked out for you! It would be cool to know what inspired you to make the change in the first place? You’re totally right, full transparency and openness is something you don't see often from company founders. 🙌

      @@SpotlightToday Honestly I liked His Honesty, his intent whenever there would be a new update to the phone, discussing it with the team also making them market the device. For me, I would say the OS that gave me the go ahead if I am being honest.
      I guess wanting a near Android experience without 2 different apps for photos is doable.

    Yeah the nothing phone is a better phone, the pixel 8A cost $500. The nothing phone 2A overall feels like the more expensive phone over the 8a. The camera on the 2a takes really nice shots even side by side with the 8a you'd be suprised. Better looking screen, longer battery life, faster charging, better speakers, and chipset runs cool. I think most people will be happier with the 2A overall as a phone and then on top of that its cheaper $350. I let some apple users try out my 2A they were really impressed and actually liked it.

      Granted it has great specs, it's a pretty ordinary looking device. Nowadays even phones with mediocre internals are lightning fast and more than most people need in terms of processing.
      However we often use phones as a symbol of our own personal style, and to capture memories. In our opinion you need to balance all these things together, and the Nothing 2a and Pixel 8a do a better job at understanding these elements.
      That being said you can't go wrong with the Poco F6! It's about what matters to you as the user.

    Nothing is a better deal with its price . I had a hand on both, pixel 8a is bulky , thick , large and not even bezels. I prefer nothing 2a with 330 dollars you get a lot for that money. If you’re a pixel fan get the discounted pixel 8 or wait for August pixel 9

      The bottom bezel, i.e., the chin, is a bit thicker than the rest-about 1mm or so. It's not much, but it's noticeable.

      We would choose both the Pixel 8a and the Nothing Phone 2a over the Galaxy A55.
      Pixel 8a excels in camera quality, wireless charging, AI features, and offers a smoother software experience.
      Nothing Phone 2a stands out with its sleek design, better screen experience, and faster charging speed. If you want to turn heads and stand out from the crowd, go with Nothing!

      8a and A55 both cost 430 USD (8a 8+128gb/A55 8+256gb) while 2a (12+256gb) is 360 USD here right now.

      @calypso168 With the A55 vs. Pixel 8a, a big decision point is the size. If you prefer a bigger phone, go with Samsung. The benefits you mentioned, like the SD card and eSIM, are all strong points, and you’d likely be happy with it.

      However, the Pixel 8a has a higher pixel density, offering a better display experience. It also tends to take better photos and has a superior selfie camera, in our opinion. While the A55 has an extra camera, the third macro lens isn't very useful in practice.

      Nothing 2a stands out with its more affordable price point and unique design. You do trade off some performance and camera quality, though.

      Ultimately, it comes down to what features matter most to you...

      I wouldn't call $125 close. I also got an extra discount for 8a so i didn't bother with regular 8 as there is not much difference.
      For 8a i had to pay $480 with discount, while 8 costs $660. Totally not worth it.

      It's all about perspective. At the end of the day, the importance one places on different benefits and downsides is subjective. We're glad you're happy with the choice! 🙌
