You have provided an honest review and its really good to have youtubers like you who have good work ethics. Nothing is going to be something special soon. Watchout apple, Samsung, google etc
I got my 2a yesterday, and i must say it feels more premium than the iphone , quality and performance exceeded my expectations.. tbh.. the back with glyph is something that has turned out to be very useful just in one day. once you get used to it, you cant buy a phone without glyph
We had "the eyes" on the LG G6 and theres a decent amount of homage to that phone in the 2a's design language...which I'm always a fan of if done right. Seems like a nice budget option.
Great review, love the format. I don't heavily use my phone either using it as a phone. I don't need performance and all I care about is if it is nice to use. Great battery life, amazing screen and the cameras are a good upgrade over the Phone 1. I got my white Phone 2a 12+256gb on Monday and it is amazing. I decided to get the case and screen protector from Nothing with it. I had the Phone 1 and this is a perfect device for me, plus it came with a year free of Perplexity Pro which is great fun to play with!
This is a really intriguing phone - I've been buying the flagships for years, but all I'm really interested in is a decent screen and a reasonable camera. What Nothing are achieving at this price point is incredibly impressive.
I own both the S24 Ultra and iPhone 15 Pro Max but I'm getting the Phone (2a) I don't care that combination of hardware and software design got me sold. I want to experience that and only Nothing provides that
I brought it after spending 4 months researching budget phones it ticks all my needs.. im moving from oneplus 7t and carls from oneplus back when they actually made good budget phones...
Yep, the phone1 was them dipping their toes into the market, the 2nd one was them polishing out the quirks from the first one and this one is them improving on the phone1. Hopefully the phone 3 would have substantial improvements from the 2. Hopefully they don't stray from their identity now which is their focus on aesthetics, user experience and optimization.

@@ntad6580 bro I heard that the back of the phone easily gets scratches is that true?? And how is your experience about the durability of the phone and overall review??
I'd probably get this phone alongside with waiting Nord 3 after seeing A35 and A55's mediocre offerings at a higher price. Though one concern is emulation compatibility. Thanks for the review!
Picking mine up this afternoon! Went for the black, told by my better half that it was the better option for someone of my vintage! 😁Think the glyph's will be more visible on black anyway?
Liked the review, but I would love it if you upped the frame rate of the video - I found it detracted from the rest of the video, which I found very smooth and polished.
For how long do you have this phone? Did you encounter any build quality issues? Like for example some people complaining they are getting a dust particles inside of camera lens. Did you notice any?
Regarding sales in the US, I think the developer program is a way to sell in the US without getting all of the necessary certifications for the big carriers. I've heard that playing ball with the big 4 isn't easy for smaller companies, so the developer program lets them sell phones without all of the extra expense. No inside knowledge, just seems like the most plausible scenario.
Here in India, I can get it for roughly 19k (8gb,128gb) after offers (180 pound in conversion). Should I go for it? Currently using a Moto Edge 30 which is riddled with green lines.
Thank goodness you got the black model. The silver trim between the bezel makes it look cheap. Also, the glyphs are more visible with the dark contrast when they light up.
I can guarantee you that almost 90 percent of the people buying this will get the white/ milk trim. But I actually dig the black. It has this very understated, stealth look to it. Very star wars like- it reminds me of Darth Vader and his tie fighter with the gliph lights on.
I think the photos are totally usable, I'd put it into the good enough category, which is impressive for this amount of money. But I have to disagree with the video quality being close to iPhone quality. It was stuttering on every single video sample. To be fair, no Android phone comes even close to the smoothness of iPhone videos. I love (and use) Android, but that's just a fact we all have to accept for now.
Really reminds me of the stock Android Mi A1 from years ago. Nothing special about the performance, nice software, good-ish camera that isn't flagship but better than the other crappy midrange ones, and ONE cool feature. Glyphs vs the higher power 3.5mm Jack on the A1. If the 2a had that 3.5mm jack and micro sd, i could see them marketing the phone as a "lower cost for the people phone or the ONLY phone you need in 2024". As it is the phone is pretty much sold out in most online retailers especially in the milk colourway.
And you said phone of the year still goes to S24 U. But if we consider phones with range $ 0 - $ 499 .. Do you this this phone has any tough competition ( not just in any one aspect like chipset , camera but overall segments)
For me Sony Xperia phones have best "minimalist industrial" design. Nothing phones are going that way. Mobile devices have to look more serious,not like children toy. And one thing I don't get it,if you starting new mobile phone company you have to include charger and protective case. But now is in fashion to not do so(like they think about planet, that's just bollocks). Cheap 350 euros? No. For example,Infinix mobile is only cheap budget friendly for now.
One thing i like is why every body just focus on game phones are not for gaming if you wanna game just buy a pc or console Phone are for daily usage n calls multimedia n calls why you expect so much from. A ohone see the phone design it llooks like i phone with those symmetrical bezzel anyday i ll choose nothing over any phone at this rnage
"We haven't seen anything like this before"....er, you might want to Google "LG V30" because it had 2 cameras in the middle next to each other....I know because I have that phone... This is not new by far. And yes, the black one is way too dark. The white one is the one to get.
Too early to call ANY phone the phone of the year. Too many to come out yet. That said, after watching, excellent for the price. The video was a little choppy but again, for that price? Pretty darn good.
People are crying over smudge magnet as if they're gonna use it naked without case, ofcourse it is magnet but it is also true that most of the homies will use it with minion or transparent case on it
No phone can maintain it's brightness nits for long periods, especially when shooting video due to the power required and throttling , overheating A 2000-3000 bit display only keeps it's brightness for short periods before it cuts out . A lower brightness IE 1000-1200 nits can maintain it's brightness for longer due to less power required
It's my first time seeing the nothing phone but Try to talk about the basics like what kind of charger is it using, the screen resolution ,play video ,can you do games why do they call it nothing phone for nothing,show the screen to the viewers , we are not here to just listen to what you are talking about show in all angles not only the cameras
You are here to listen to what I talk about, I’m afraid, but if my review doesn’t give you the info you need, others will. It’s very important you shop around with reviews before committing to buying anything.
Buy an old flagship, i guarantee you it's better than buying all of these mid range crap. I talk from multiple experiences. Example, S21 is few years old, much cheaper nowadays and DEFINITELY far much superior than ALL the mid range garbage in every sense.
A lot of people aren't bothered about such things . As long as the phone does its job or what is required of it . Most people don't need high end devices
Am using phone 1 for over a year and two months , am from India , here the market is flooded with chinese phones and they are known for their specs The thing that nothing does better is its software and usable cameras They listen to their customers and push updates regularly, One important thing is they don't seem to degrade the camera via updates , and their software makes even a weaker chip like 778g look fluid

Can never understand why apple don't give 120hz as standard thats why android willl all ways win in my opinion
Because Apple name it “ProMotion” that’s why, which means they will reserve it for Pro devices only.Can’t see them changing that anytime soon.
Why you get android phones with 120hz for less then I phones prices
Because iPhone's have bad battery.
Because they don’t need to. If you want 120hz, buy a ProMotion iPhone

1300 nits means shooting video basically blind on a cloudy day. I just spent an hour doing that with an S23 ultra. It was garbage
No phone can maintain it's brightness nits for long periods, especially when shooting video due to the power required and throttling , overheating A 2000-3000 bit display only keeps it's brightness for short periods before it cuts out . A lower brightness IE 1000-1200 nits can maintain it's brightness for longer due to less power required
@marksouthwell4490 That's fine, but if you need it to be really bright for a couple seconds to shoot a photo, you're out of luck

BUT WHEN YOU TEST THE PHONE ON DAILY BASES, YOU REALIZE, WAIT A MINUTE, WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT IT. MAYBE THE NOTHING COMPANY DIDN'T SEND YOU THE PHONE AND YOU BOUGHT IT BY YOUR SELF, BUT HONEST REVIEWS ARE THE KEY, AS BECAUSE OF YOU, PEOPLE MIGHT SPEND MONEY ON SOME PRODUCT'S, WHICH ARE ACTUALLY RUBBISH. I WAS SEARCHING VERY DEEP THIS MORNING TO FIND ANY REVIEWER WHO COULD MENTION EVEN ONE ISSUE, THIS PHONE HAS. GUESS WHAT. COULDN'T FIND NOT EVEN ONE 😳 SO I GUESS THERE IS A PROBLEM, WHERE YOU GUYS ARE THE KEY TO ALL THE TECH COMPANIES.
I think you should start your own TH-cam channel. I think I’d genuinely watch it.
