Nothing launched the Phone 2a earlier this year, a mid-range and cheaper alternative to its current flagship, the Nothing Phone 2. While unavailable in the US, the phone has done well in selected European countries and India, where it trumps its competition with its pricing and a clean Android experience. Since its release, the Carl Pei-led company has launched a special edition and a new color to keep it in the limelight. Now, Nothing might take things up a size by launching a Plus variant of the mid-ranger.

Now that the consumer tech space has fully matured, the battle of ecosystems is more important than any one set of competing products. Most people aren't just buying a great smartphone; they're buying into a family of cohesive products. Apple has its famous ecosystem, Samsung has the Galaxy ecosystem, and Google has the Pixel ecosystem. When comparing the "big three" ecosystems in North America, I've always thought Samsung's was severely underrated. You can buy a phone, television, refrigerator, and washing machine all from the same company — that's something no one else offers.

I think it's the best time to jump into the Samsung ecosystem now that the product offering feels complete

Plus, the Galaxy A15 includes numerous preinstalled apps. This bloatware can make your phone run slowly and sap battery life. This guide shows you all the apps you can safely remove on the Galaxy A15.
