The Nothing (2a) Plus checks almost all the boxes but an unreliable fingerprint scanner is an unforgivable gripe.
was released in March, so it’s a little surprising that Nothing decided to launch a successor to it, the Nothing Plus, so soon, just four months later, in July. This one sports a couple of meaningful updates, like an upgraded MediaTek processor, a more advanced front-facing camera, and a slight $50 bump in price.
It’s also pretty light—at 190g, the Pixel 8a just barely beats it out at 188g. On the other hand, its IP rating has a lot of room for improvement. It’s currently rated at IP54, which is considerably lower than the IP67 on the Pixel 8a, making Google’s phone a bit better against the elements.The glyph interface on the Nothing Plus consists of three glyph lights that light up based on the activity you’ve set them to.
The power button is customizable; with up to a few actions, it can trigger with a double click. I set mine to load up the camera app. Unlike on the Moto Razr+, the multitasking feature is much simpler on Nothing’s phone. Instead of swiping your finger across the screen twice, which often leads to mis-taps, you hold and drag your window to the top of the screen. It automatically appears in a little box and leaves you the rest of the display to carry out other tasks.
The Geekbench 6.0 scores were 1198 for single-core and 2624 for multi-core, which isn’t very close to the 1690 for single-core and 4025 for multi-core that theoffers for an extra hundred bucks. But with a MediaTek chip powering the Plus, it’s normal to expect modest Geekbench results. As long as you’re using this phone for everyday productivity and entertainment, you’re not going to complain.
