Nothing Phone 2a Plus Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
7.5/10
Verdict
The Nothing Phone (2a) Plus features an intriguing design that captures attention. While other aspects of the smartphone such as performance and software are commendable, they are not segment-leading and fall short compared to competitors, particularly in areas such as camera performance.
Pros
- Distinctive Glyph Interface design
- Capable performance
- Clean software experience
- Decent battery life
Cons
- Display brightness could have been better
- No charger in the box
- Limited IP rating
Design and display
+
Nothing hasn't tweaked the design and display of the new Phone (2a) Plus at all. The handset looks and feels the same as its younger sibling Phone (2a), with flat edges and transparent plastic back. The transparent back reveals the Glyph Interface, which, while not as dynamic as the flagship Nothing Phone 2, effectively lights up for notifications, calls, visual countdowns, and progress indicators. The white LEDs are positioned around the dual rear camera setup. To read more about the phone's Glyph Interface capabilities, we recommend checking our Nothing Phone (2a) review.

Cameras

The Nothing Phone 2a Plus features a 50MP front camera, an upgrade from the previous 32MP. On the back, it retains the same 50MP primary and ultra-wide lens. The 50MP primary sensor includes OIS and an f/1.88 aperture lens, while the 50MP ultra-wide sensor offers a 114-degree field of view (FoV). All three sensors support Ultra HDR, co-developed by Google, and 4K video recording at 30fps, with additional modes such as Slo-mo, Time-lapse, Portrait, Night mode, and 4K recording at 50fps.

Performance and software
+
The Nothing Phone (2a) Plus is the world's first with MediaTek Dimensity 7350 Pro SoC ticking at its core. It is a slight upgrade from MediaTek's Dimensity 7200 Ultra SoC - both synthetically and in real-world performance. The handset achieves 7,71,491 on AnTuTu, which is roughly 70,000 more than the Phone (2a), whereas on Geekbench, it scores 1,121 in single-core and 2,203 in multi-core tests.

Battery and charging
+
The Nothing Phone (2a) Plus offers battery performance comparable to the regular Phone 2a. Its unchanged 5,000mAh battery allows the Plus model to achieve 14 hours and 34 minutes on the PCMark battery test, which runs a series of sequences and programs until the battery drops to 20 percent. In our YouTube video streaming test, with the screen brightness and volume set to 50 percent, the handset consumed just 4 percent of its battery after half an hour.
