Last week, we asked for your opinion on the Nothing Phone (2a) Plus. It was already available in the UK and has since come to India. Let’s take a look at how the survey went.
The Plus model is ₹50 more expensive for the 12/256GB unit in the UK and ₹2,000 more expensive in India for the 8/256GB unit. And that’s a difference if you look at the retail price, the regular 2a phone has been around for a while and is often discounted, which widens the price gap even further.
And yes, unsurprisingly, many feel the new phone is overpriced for what it offers. Nothing has been swapped for a different chipset to deliver improved performance, but the chip will have to prove its worth in reviews. The company has also upgraded the selfie camera to a 50MP unit that can record 4K video. That’s another unknown – the reviews could really change opinions about this phone.
Nothing is a young company and is still building out its distribution network. This means that some regions are being left out – even a large market like the US is only getting a “beta” program with spotty carrier support. This isn’t a huge problem yet, but it will become an urgent matter the longer Nothing ignores it.
For most poll voters, the Nothing Phone (2a) Plus isn’t the best mid-range phone you can spend money on – even the regular Nothing Phone (2a) is a better investment, as are all the other brands competing in this segment.
