The Ultrawide sensor, on the other hand, is disappointing. The color exit is decent, but the details are missing slightly in the daylight shots. The portrait mode works well with the detection of edges, and the colors of the skin tone are natural.

In low light conditions, Nothing Phone 2A Plus does a decent job. The noises are reduced with vivid mode. The shadows are well developed, and the most prominent aspects are also there. The colors also became natural during the trial period. However, with Ultrawide, we saw that the colors were a bit washed, and the noises were quite prominent.
The performance of selfies has improved this time. It obtains a solid output in daylight conditions. Leather tones and texture look close to the fountain, and there are many details. However, in low light conditions, the theme of the approach persists, but can still obtain a good amount of details.
The quality of the video is also good. The phone is now capable of 4k@30 fps of the Selfie camera, which is also a good thing.
Nothing Phone 2A Plus Battery: Awesome battery duration

- Loader – Not included
Nothing Phone 2A Plus is loaded with a similar 5,000 mAh backup battery. However, the company offers slightly better fast charging support with the last device instead of 45W load support found on the 2nd phone.
The phone is loaded with a 5,000 mAh battery and admits a fast charging of 50 W.
The output of the battery life is also similar. During the trial period, the phone delivered almost two days of battery with normal to moderate use. Under heavy use, the phone lasted a full day without much problem. The phone lasted 22 hours and 38 minutes in our battery loop test. The company did not give any charger in the box, which is an annoyance. I used a quick 68W charger to verify phone load capabilities. During the tests, the phone was charged 30 percent in 15 minutes, 63 percent in 30 minutes, and took almost 55 minutes to completely load.
Nothing telephone 2nd more verdict
Nothing Phone 2A Plus seems to be an interesting option to this price segment. The phone still brings unique design language, which you don’t see in other brands. Compared to Nothing Phone 2A, you get improvements of approximately 10 percent in yield, load speeds and front camera. But you must also pay some additional dollars.
The smartphone will face a hard competition from OnePlus, Honor and other phones.
So, if you don’t want to spend so much on the advantage, you can go with the 2nd phone, which is not a bad business at an initial price of RS 23,999. However, if you are looking for a slightly better performance, improved cameras and slightly better faster speeds, then you can consider the 2nd Plus phone.
Regarding the competition, Nothing Phone 2A Plus faces a hard competition of honor 200 (review), Realme GT 6T (review), Motorola Edge 50 Pro (review) and OnePlus Nord 4 (review).
