Nothing Phone (2a) Plus Gaming Test: Dimensity 7350 Pro vs BGMI & Free Fire MAX

Nothing paired up with MediaTek to co-engineer the Dimensity 7350 Pro 5G, boasting CPU clocks up to 3.0 GHz and a Mali-G615 MC2 GPU. While the device targets design enthusiasts with its transparent aesthetic and Glyph LED interface, does it satisfy competitive mobile gamers?

1. BGMI & Free Fire Framerate Reality

In BGMI, the phone is natively capped at Smooth + Extreme (60 FPS). We observed rock-solid 59.9 FPS with virtually zero jitter. In Free Fire MAX, 90 FPS high frame rate mode works cleanly with negligible thermal buildup (peak temp 38.2°C after one hour).

2. Symmetrical Bezels and Grip Ergonomics

One understated gaming advantage of Nothing Phone (2a) Plus is its perfectly uniform, symmetrical display bezels. Unlike phones with thick chin bezels that throw off thumb centering, your two thumbs sit in perfect ergonomic alignment during horizontal grip.
