If you don't require that GPU power, you can skip this one if you're on the M2. But, if you're on the M1, it still makes sense.

The M1 is slightly behind in benchmarks, but doesn't perform as bad at all. In terms of performance, the M3 is barely any different from the M2.

Nothing Ear (a) Review: Is It Worth the Price?

The Nothing Ear (a) has gone official for Rs 7,999 in India as the brand's latest TWS ANC earbuds.
