Battery and charging
The Phone (2a) has the largest smartphone battery yet at 5,000 mAh, providing up to two days of use on a full charge. Not only is it larger, it also has better performance. Nothing has increased battery life by more than 25% compared to the Phone (1), which means that it is able to maintain more than 90% of its maximum capacity after 1,000 charging times, which is equivalent to more than three years of daily charging. The battery also has a 13% lower temperature when charging and consuming compared to the Phone (1), which contributes to the longevity of the phone.
The Phone (2a) supports the 45-watt fast charging feature, to provide fast charging operations that can provide 50% of power in just 20 minutes of charging. This is an ideal solution to avoid the risk of depleting battery life, which is often associated with increased wattage and charging speeds.
Camera
The Phone (2a) has a 50-megapixel dual rear camera supported by TrueLens Engine technology to capture the most beautiful pictures. The TrueLens Engine is a series of advanced algorithms that work together to ensure every shot taken with the Phone (2a) is as realistic as possible. The camera includes Ultra XDR technology, which was developed in collaboration with Google to ensure that lighting and shadows are displayed more accurately in every shot. This technology works by capturing 8 frames with different exposure levels in RAW format, then adjusting the brightness of each pixel up to 5 times to display the most realistic result.
The Phone (2a) also has an exceptional 32-megapixel front camera that uses the same sensor as the Phone (2), which has 27% more light sensitivity compared to the Phone (1) and allows more details to be displayed for perfect selfies anytime, anywhere.
