Review of the Nothing Phone 2a Plus

While Nothing has not yet established itself as the next “flagship killer” brand, it has certainly proven to be a leader in budget phone offerings. The Nothing Phone 2a was highly regarded, and the recent CMF Phone 1 from Nothing’s sub-brand is considered one of the best sub-$200 phones available. The latest addition to Nothing’s lineup, the Phone 2a Plus, continues to uphold this reputation with a slightly higher price point.
