Nothing Phone (2a) Plus Community Edition
Pros
- Glow in the dark! The cool phosphorescent back lights up without batteries. Perfect for night owls.
- Stand out with a unique transparent design and glyph interface—definitely a head-turner.
- Join a community-driven vibe! This phone is shaped by user feedback from a six-month competition.
- Enjoy exclusive wallpapers that mix AI creativity with digital art—six custom designs just for you.
- Experience solid specs: 6.7-inch AMOLED display, 120 Hz refresh rate, and a decent 50 MP camera setup.
- Count on three years of software updates and four years of security support. Your phone will stay fresh!
Cons
- Hurry! Only 1,000 units available, so snag one fast if you want it.
- Watch out for the fingerprint scanner—it can be hit or miss.
- Expect only minor upgrades from the original Phone (2a). If you’re looking for major changes, you might be disappointed.
- Pay up! A bit steep for what you get.
- Face limited availability in the US. You’ll need to jump through some hoops to get your hands on it.
- Navigate some quirky software issues. Not everyone loves the Nothing OS design choices.
