The Nothing Phone (2a) is proving to be a sales success. On the first day alone, it managed to sell 100,000 units. Its main attraction is the Glyph interface that no one wants to hide behind a protective cover.
With this idea in mind, PBKreviews subjected the new smartphone to an endurance test that involves heavy drops. The result? Spoiler alert: the Nothing Phone (2a) turned out to have impressive resistance.
Let's start by remembering the construction of the new Nothing model. The Phone (2a) has an aluminum frame, a plastic back panel and Gorilla Glass 5 screen protection.
That said, let's move on to the PBKreviews drop resistance test. This consists of several tests that involve the terminal falling onto a concrete floor, from different heights.
In the first test, the model is thrown at approximately the height of the presenter's waist. He lands on the cement with the screen down and does a pirouette on the ledge, ending up also falling with the back panel on the cement.
As shown in the video, the terminal continues to work perfectly and has not suffered any damage from this fall.
Next, the Nothing Phone (2a) is subjected to more falls from different heights and shapes, but continues to record little damage after so much fall. Even though the frame has some scratches, the screen remains free of “injuries”.
More and better. After undergoing this test, the back panel of the Nothing Phone (2a) with the seductive Glyph interface is also unharmed, even though it has been dropped four times in a row.
As expected, Nothing's affordable smartphone passes the exam with distinction, proving its resistance and resilience in all these falls. Portuguese users can purchase the Phone (2a) through the brand's official website for Europe.
