Comparing Apple's iPhone 16 Pro Max vs the Nothing Phone 2A, an Android smartphone that costs roughly £1000 less. Is the iPhone 16 Pro Max's camera tech, gaming abilities, battery life etc really worth that extra cash, or can the Nothing Phone 2A give it a fight despite that low price?

Yes, Apple's brick does have some advantages basically, the tougher design, telephoto camera and wireless charging support. However, in most other areas these phones are closely matched. The iPhone 16 Pro Max, despite costing four times as much as the Nothing Phone 2A, offers slightly worse battery life for everyday use. It also can't charge any quicker using an adapter, while Android is still more customisable and smarter in most ways.

The iPhone 16 Pro Max is more powerful but the Nothing Phone 2A provides a similarly smooth gaming experience on popular mobile titles. That display is just as poppy and bright, with the added bonus that there's no turdy camera notch obscuring a chunk of it. And this budget Android can happily spit out good looking everyday photos, similar to the iPhone 16 Pro Max, with no awful camera button to wrestle with.

The point of this video is to highlight that most people should be perfectly satisfied with a budget Android. So there's no need to throw away silly amounts of cash on your next smartphone. What do you think, is the iPhone 16 Pro Max actually worth that cash? Let us know below!
