When it comes to the Indian market, innovation and performance are key to staying ahead of the competition. This is how a relatively new brand like Nothing has managed to become such a popular name here. The Nothing Phone (2a) brought a unique new design with capable hardware at an affordable price point, and the new Nothing Phone (2a) Plus looks to take it up a notch. As the name suggests, this device is an upgrade over the Nothing Phone (2a) by enhancing its performance and camera capabilities. Let’s take a quick look at what the new smartphone has to offer.
Performance boost
At the heart of all of the improvements on the Nothing Phone (2a) Plus is the new MediaTek Dimensity 7350 Pro SoC that supports 5G connectivity. This octa-core chipset packs six Cortex-A510 cores and two Cortex-A715 cores with a max clock speed of 3.0GHz. This upgrade in the processor can be seen in the performance on offer. The new Nothing Phone (2a) Plus is said to offer a 10% increase in CPU performance, while the GPU is touted as offering a 30% improvement over the Nothing Phone (2a). This means that the phone should offer an improved experience in multitasking and gaming. A win-win for all.
Better selfies
The Nothing Phone (2a) Plus also improves upon the camera capabilities of the previous version of the smartphone. The new device packs a massive 50MP front camera, which should greatly enhance your selfies and video call quality. In fact, this front camera is now capable of shooting 4K videos at 30fps. This also means that the Nothing Phone (2a) Plus now features 50MP sensors on the front and rear of the smartphone.
Shorter charge times
In terms of battery, the Nothing Phone (2a) Plus also packs a 5000mAh battery with support for 50W fast charging like the standard Nothing Phone (2a). Buyers of the new phone can expect a 10% increase in charging speed vs Phone (2a). So users can enjoy an entire day of power with a quick 20 minute charge. This efficiency is made possible thanks to the 4nm architecture that promises improved battery life and greater performance.
Integrated AI
The Nothing Phone (2a) Plus also makes full use of the MediaTek NPU 657 AI accelerator found in the MediaTek Dimensity 7350 SoC. The device comes with ChatGPT integrated into Nothing OS, so direct access is just a tap away. The presence of an NPU leaves a lot of room for Nothing to implement even more AI services into the phone via a future update.
Everything else you love
With all the other features of the new phone, Nothing has stuck to the principle of ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’. So you still get that immersive 6.7-inch Flexible AMOLED FHD+ panel with a 120Hz max refresh rate. Further, you also get the iconic Glyph Interface with its customisable light and sound patterns.
Of course, you still get the unique design that Nothing is known for. The new phone inherits the same design story as the Nothing (2a). This includes the anthropomorphic appearance wherein the cameras within the NFC coil look like eyes, whilst being surround by a sort of brain. This design highlights the merger of technology and craftsmanship that Nothing smartphones are known for.
To help buyers stand out, Nothing offers the Phone (2a) Plus in two new colour variants, namely a Metallic Grey and a Metallic Black. This colour finish oozes quality while highlighting the improvements that the phone has to offer.
As one can see, the Nothing Phone (2a) Plus is an excellent symbol of the brand’s desire to constantly innovate. The switch to the new and improved MediaTek Dimensity 7350 Pro processor showcases the brand’s desire to constantly push boundaries and offer its customers the best it has to offer!
