The Nothing Phone (2a) was announced this week \u2013 the first attempt at a mid-ranger from the company. Nothing has been a stylish value-for-money brand since its inception and it\u2019s quite clear with the (2a).<\/p>\n
This \u20ac330 mid-ranger packs a large 6.7\u201d 120Hz AMOLED display (10-bit colors) with FHD+ resolution with Gorilla Glass 5 (and IP54 dust and water resistance). It has a very similar 50+50MP rear and 32MP front camera setup as the more premium Phone (2).<\/p>\n
Inside is a larger 5,000mAh battery with 45W charging (though without any wireless charging). The phone\u2019s Dimensity 7200 Pro chipset beats the 778G of the original Phone (1), if not as fast as the chipset inside the Phone (2). Note that 4 extra gigs of RAM and double the storage cost only \u20ac50 more \u2013 well worth the upgrade. Also, you can pick up the phone with a free pair of CMF Buds Pro<\/a> (worth \u20ac50 on their own).<\/p>\n Right now the 12\/256GB Nothing Phone (2) is \u20ac580 and the 512GB variant is \u20ac680, which is quite a premium over the a-model. That premium does buy some nice things \u2013 the faster Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset, for one. And it enables 4K @ 60fps video recording, while the Dimensity tops out at 4K @ 30fps. Also, the 6.7\u201d display is an LTPO panel (still FHD+ resolution, though). And there is 15W wireless charging.<\/p>\n A couple of weeks ago<\/a> we welcomed the Galaxy A25 with a small discount (the price has gone up a bit since). Now its more affordable sibling, the Samsung Galaxy A15 5G, has arrived at just under \u20ac200 (which is \u20ac35 down from MSRP). Powered by the Dimensity 6100+, this phone has expandable storage and comes with Android 14 out of the box. It will receive 3 OS updates and 4 years of security patches.<\/p>\n The 6.5\u201d FHD+ AMOLED display is similar to the A25, but it runs at 90Hz instead of 120Hz. And the ultra wide camera has a 5MP sensor (down from 8MP), but the 50MP main and 13MP selfie are the same. The 5,000mAh battery with 25W wired-only charging is the same too.<\/p>\n The Realme 12 Pro is already official, so the Realme 11 Pro got a price cut, placing it around \u20ac50 above the Galaxy A15 5G. This one has a 6.7\u201d OLED display and it is a 120Hz 10-bit panel (also FHD+ resolution). The main camera has a 100MP sensor (with OIS), but there\u2019s no ultra wide. Unlike the Galaxy, this model doesn\u2019t have a microSD slot or a 3.5mm headphone jack. What it does have is 67W fast charging for its 5,000mAh battery.<\/p>\n There\u2019s also the Realme 12 Pro+ in a 12\/512GB configuration. It has the same Dimensity 7050 chipset and 6.7\u201d 120Hz OLED display as the regular Pro, but it upgrades to a 200MP main camera (still with OIS) and even has an 8MP ultra wide. Additionally, the selfie camera gets double the resolution (32MP) and the 5,000mAh battery is upgraded to 100W charging.<\/p>\n Going back to the under \u20ac200 price range, the Moto G54 features a 6.5\u201d 120Hz IPS LCD (FHD+ resolution) as an alternative to the 6.5\u201d 90Hz OLED of the Galaxy A15 5G. The 50MP camera on this one has OIS but it lacks an ultra wide partner. Also, the 5,000mAh battery is even slower with just 15W charging support.<\/p>\n
