The Nothing Phone 2A proves thoughtful design can come at a budget price


A budget phone that stands out.

We’ve had a fewglimpses of the Phone 2A in the past few weeks so its specs don’t come as a total surprise, but here’s the rundown: it comes with a 6.7-inch, 120Hz OLED screen with Gorilla Glass 5 and 1080p resolution — well, 1084 x 2412, to be exact. That price tag also makes it easier to appreciate what is here: the glyph interface feels like a fun extra, and the informative always-on display is one of my favorites on any phone. Likewise, Nothing’s minimalist UI feels almost like a luxury in this category, where you’ll occasionally find the worst kind of bloatware.
