Is nothing Phone 2a a good buy?

It is currently being sold at 1.18 on priceoye. i looked into the specs and its honestly quite a fascinating device. I want a phone with smooth os since I am utterly exasperated by my a14's lag. I do game a bit too but not for long sessions. I am good with 30 fps gaming for 30 minutes max. The nothing phone seems to have the thermal stability to handle that. But still, I need more input from y'all. Is this phone better than samsung's a55? Or am I trippin here?
