Also many are putting useless 2MP cameras only to show that they have TRIPLE CAMERA or QUAD CAMERA setups
Also I wanna mention that though glass looks and feels good on the back, it's not as durable as polycarbonate
So I prefer polycarbonate on the back because that's what I would use without a case
@@fakechTotally this. I had a metal-back phone before and it was great! That feeling you get when you don't have to be feared to use your phone without a freaking case is underrated. I don't need a "beautiful" glass back which I can't touch or see because it is always inside the case, making it useless.
@@senposLet's bring back the metal, that feels lot premium than a glass back, I had Samsung A3 for a couple of years, man oh man that golden back panel. 😍
@@vishwavichu3861wireless charging is not possible with a metal back, that's probably why manufacturers are using glass/polycarbonate now
@@senpos metal is overrated. If you want a better chassis, it's gonna be plastic. Yeah, it doesn't feel as good as metal, but I can actually use it without a case without getting scared of denting and scratching the thing.
Glass = breaks if dropped
Metal = gets dented or scratches if dropped
Plastic = gets scratches when dropped, but not as visible as metal
Keep it up Carl, you're growing.
4th i guess
and the team, keep it up :D !
Yeah

Are you serious i mean for real ??
I love how he's so confident, on point, articulate and knows exactly what he wants to do. Kudos.
It's rare to find a company that pours this much love into every detail, especially in a midrange phone.
Being a small company everyone provodes love and care at first then when company grows they focus only on making profit.😂
I love nothing company but the fact is that when you have only few products you can pay more attention to details of the products. But once you have a few hundreds of products it's difficult to pay attention to each product. Telling you this by experience....
Non 😂of the other company's mobiles phone where harmed in this video💀
he didn't take any name 🤐
they dont care about budget phones and so he can take that part of market and upgrade it But it can downgrade the reputation of the company . i really want to see how they maintain their reputation in all budget consumers and normal users and advanced users
@@shreyam3699u mean nothing brand?
@@akkohardcoreexyep i had liked to see what he tries to do to protect his reputation since he learned from oneplus incident
We need Nothing gallery and Nothing music player.
we need more years of updates, that's really important.
Agreed!👍
I like the fact that he and his team are documenting the process, it's quite different from what other companies usually do and we should really embrace that. it's a prime example of “Show your work”
Please Nothing, focus on the haptics.
That's 80% of the build quality feeling.
Please.
Agree.. but I don't want them to make the haptics "vibrate less." There needs to be depth to the vibration. The Pixel Pro 8 is a master class in haptics.
@@Spykedjadedragonthe OnePlus with o haptisk is the best o have ever used and many agree OnePlus O haptik
I'm no engineer but I don't see how 2 different powered vibrators wouldn't fix this issue@@Spykedjadedragon
Finally someone said it...
One thing is ergonomics, second the design but without good haptics it just feels cheap
@@gockartzz8272 dont mean to be that guy but... *haptics
Hopefully the Phone 2(a) lives up to its hype and disrupt the midrange smartphone segment. I have high hopes for you Nothing. 👏
Okay
Already lower than Poco x6 pro's chip set. And Poco is definitely cheaper
@@stebopignpoco is zhit , go buy at ur own risk , screen issue motherboard issue lmao.
@@amenbrother777 have not heard about that from last 1 year
Just give me a headphone jack with a reasonable DAC & I will upgrade from the Nothing Phone 1 I have been using since the US beta Program.
In terms of design, you could try to implement the glyphs on the sides of the phone (in the frame) so it won't matter which side of the phone is flipped.❤
Then it's less visible tho
@@arjunchickering1085 the light will glow on the table surface when you place the phone down, no matter which side of the phone is facing up.
But it's still less visible
@@Thegreekgeekss the glyph is useless anyways and you should have your phone screen side up as to not damage it
That's why I'm suggesting to put them on the sides. The lights are bright enough and I've noticed that with a transparent case, the light spreads a lot and it's a bit visible on the sides too with screen face up. In the sides it would be more visible.@@arjunchickering1085
just preordered the phone 2a and i am really excited. its my first product from your brand but i have deep trust in you. i might update this as soon as the phone arrives
If you want to save 10 min: It is launching on March 5th
Why do they always focus on marketing, but not on specifications. Like PHONE 2, launched 599! With an older chip and average camera bad haptics. And really everything was average. We don't want every specifications to be10/10
We want 8/10 in every dept
Not 5/10
Right @mayukhr.257

2:05 yeah, like super macro or depth lens

Exactly!
@@ryanistr just useless
or like putting lights on the back of a phone 💀💀
@@ryanistr megapixels don't really matter. 2MP is actually just 1080×1920, i don't think we need more than that at least for a situative lens
Im from paraguay and i discovered this brand looking for reviews for a new phone and I loved it. Some local stores can get it for me, but I don't want to buy something from a brand that does not have an official branch in my country, without a guarantee and without any technical assistance because there will be no one who knows how to repair it if I need to. Please!! We need an official release of nothing phone in latin america!!! This is the time!!!
They why the fuck you wanna buy it if you don't have any local store of the company in your country. You have to either take the risk or just buy a Samsung.

I don't own a nothing product sadly yet, but I really really hope you guys succeed. So driven and new in the hardest industry. Keep pushing and don't give up.
interesting marketing strat, i love the curiosity you guys build around the product, the calling out the big brands
and interesting choice of words to really speak out to the Nothing fans
what marketing strat could u explain?
@@vivaanreddy8771 i don't think Nothing is big on marketing through advertisements, their marketing is through the community they've built and fans basically market their products through engagement, the Nothing team does a really good job fueling hype to their niche community, that's what I meant by marketing strat
@@vivaanreddy8771 I think pretty much transparency and calling out. They explain things quite in depth and reveal a lot of information that industry giants probably wouldn't like to share like a good example with cameras in this video or always making flagship and rarely doing midranges. Same with bloatwares which is absolutely nice for to nothing to have none at these times, even it could fetch them some money.

Been happy with my phone 2
Cant wait for new products from you guys!
All the best for new launch. Also these videos where CEO himself reaches to the customers will surely have impact on the brand loyalty of Nothing.
Sold off my Oppo Find N3 and got the Milk version of 2A. ( Sad tho' as to why in Singapore doesn't have the White version which looks AMAZING!! ) The 2A design blew me away but what surprises me alot more is the software. The experience is phenomenal for its price! It's crazy!! Thanks Nothing team and Carl Pei... Looking forward to your next product! Cheers!!
Amazed and excited too 🎉
I love seeing Heru in these videos, he’s got the vibe and personality to be a great host on the channel. Great work guys, excited for the launch of (phone)2a!
Great news! Good luck with the launch of this new product, wishing all the best!
I don't own a Nothing phone but when I'm watching these videos from Nothing, this phone is really interesting and I like how Carl points out those issues with phones. Sometimes what you're buying are the brands, not the phone's quality. Seeing how branded famous phones release phones like trash but the prices are costly. Kudos to Nothing teams. Keep on growing.
Carl sounds really easygoing but i think he's really demanding and has very high standards in a good way that makes their phones highly competitive with Apple which Carl vowed to destroy when his ipod broke at age 12 after 1 year and 5 days of usage .. no joke ...

HAHAHA
hihi hihi has dene
so funny
we are waiting, 5 March 🎉🥳
Great guys. Keep doing it! All the best
I can't even begin to express how excited I am about Nothing - pun intended. I'm absolutely loving the Phone (2) and the CMF Watch Pro. It all feels so fair and revolutionary. And Glyph has been the most popular party trick I've had on a phone! 😅 Cheers, Carl! I'm so happy I invested and followed you from 1+. Keep the innovation train rolling. 🚂
I want this phone to be compact, not too small since many people need a bigger screen, but 6.1 inch display would be perfect
yeppppp😊
YASS PLZZ, i was badly looking for a phone with the form factor of an s23 but i cant afford it at the moment. Hope 2a's size comes around that
Bro the battery is already giving barely 5hrs of sot in phone 1
@@carloareaser6.6 is huge. 5.9 maximum 6.1 does its job
too bad us who want compact phone are really the minority. not worth if you wanna capture the market share especially for a new company like nothing
I'm hyped for the new audio products. The ear 2 were super.
Eagerly waiting..😇
Wish you all the best Carl ❤

@@rahulsawant8369 you're Marathi, are you from kolhapur?
I am excited for this release. I am was itching for an upgrade. Thought about jumping brands (between the smartphone giants), but wanting a different (better) experience. I can’t wait to hear more about 2a and see what MKBHD says (😅).
For me the only company that makes me feel hope in the phone industry. Awesome user experience, great cameras and NOTHING else that you don't need. Waiting to see the 2a....my best wishes
Well said except the great camera part
I want Nothing to make a new color option for their phones every year as a "color of the year" or something. Like orange or red or a good tone of yellow or purple would be cool
Yelllooaw ouch
@@rahulsawant8369 yeah i know most of them are shit but i thought of like hot yellow more like orange
aren't they supposed to be a minimalist company tho
Watching this from my Nothing Phone (2) 512gb device. Just received in the mail about 24 hours ago. Loving it so far, coming from a OnePlus 11.
Came from OnePlus 11 to a Nothing Phone 2??
Bet you'll be back as well to your ex.
Im using phone one for 2 months now. I absolutly love it! It is so unique and software expirience is clean
Same ..using from almost 3 months. Camera's and user interface are so good
still in love with my phone 1 for way over a year now!
Just bought mine yesterday and I love it! I come from iPhone background mainly. To be honest it's the perfect mid ground between ios and android
What about rhe ufs. 2.2 is it bad
And how is the phone for heavy tasking website editing and other heavy tasking?
Shouts to the team making this film. The sound quality and edit is gold standard. Lovely work. 👍
This Carl is just something else, keep innovating bro! Listening on my Nothing Earbuds 2
Congrats on making the phone available in the Australian market
The Samsung A54 is the best selling Samsung, and the Pixel A series is globally well known. Carl saying "they dont care" is a bit insane.
Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking.
Just because the phones sell well and are known doesn’t mean that the actual phone is any good. It’s just a cheap, get you what you need done phone. The care of actually making it a mid range flagship is what Carl is talking about. Not just another mid range junker to fill that spot just because
Sales are just numbers. Care is attention to detail, passion, community and feedback engagement, foresight and farsight, devotion to software and improvements, and making a device feel new every now and then, in a consistent manner.
@@Rudggedexcept that the Samsung A54 and Pixel A series phones aren't bad midrange phones at all lmao
A54 and pixel A series starts around 40k+ (launch mrp).
They're targeting the phone 2a for 30k so..... that's that
I just hope this will be like a OnePlus X. Last year's flagship specs, headphone jack, microsd card slot. Fantastic build quality, great display, decent camera, decent battery life.
They won't give headphone jack no matter what
Won't have last years flagship cpu, no where near it in fact. It is rumoured to have have Dimensity 7200 which is worse than a snapdragon 870.
@@corsinivideosI wish they opted for Dimensity 8300 but here we are...
At least put 8020 in pls
yeah disapointing, considering Nothing phone 2 uses Snapdargon 8+ Gen 1@@shuttzi9878

Hi Carl i am using Nothing Phone 1. I read a lot at night and i have eye strain issues even when i put my phone in "Night Light","Extra Dim" and "Bedtime mode" and reduce brightness to 0. I hope you look into displays that are good to the eyes. I really like what TCL is doing with their nxtpaper displays. Kindly consider looking into display technology as well. Happy to test the display when you implement this!! Thanks!!
I hope this comment is seen. This is actually one of the most important things on phone.
Superb Philosophy Carl Sir❤
I love what you all are doing at Nothing! I'll be going to college as a freshman in fall 2024, bur my goal after college, is to do a tech start up, just like you guys. I also see that companies aren't doing much about the mid ranger smartphones' category, especially the low end smartphones.....
gl bro! there's a rly untapped market with midrange phones!
@@skuffman you bet!
Nothing phone 1 users. Come here 🎉🎉🎉
Since I've got my nothing phone (1), everwhere i go, everyone ask about my phone and they are amazed by it. And i like it. Keep it up nothing 😍🖤
PLEASE MAKE A MINI VERSION ❤
I agree....smaller is better but I don't want a flip phone.
I may be a Samsung boy, but love how innovative Nothing is! Keep up the good work Carl and team :)
Hope your ecosystem expands more and more! ✌🏽✌🏽💪🏽💪🏽
I'm also a Samsung boy but I don't think I can support them longer...
If the A55 doesn't get wireless charging and a up to market chip, that line is dead to me. I'll either get the A25 if I need a cheap-ish replacement to my A50. And hopefully make enough bank after Uni to get a Zenfone, or Nothing Phone if they make a smaller device which isn't shit, or be a cuck and shill for an S2x (regular) which is no where worth the money..
@Daniel-dj7fh you kinda get what you pay for tbh
@@Daniel-dj7fh
I decided to say the J series and A series farewell.. I had a S10+, Note 20 Ultra and currently S23 Ultra, and these phones were better than all cheaper phones that I bought therefore...
I hope for you that the A55 will get wireless charging...
Does the Nothing Phone has wireless charging?
I dunno man who would have thought that a phone costing 2-3x more than what you had before was gonna be better@@Armando.Krijnen
So you're saying the pricing is fair?@@jordanjackson8873
My phone just died last week. I wanted to buy a new one, but I'll wait for this to come out first so I can make a decision.
I really want to go to the UK just to buy the Nothing Phone and other accessories. They put so much effort and love into their products. ❤❤
I'm excited. Can't wait to see what you guys have in stock for us.
1:59 absolutely agree with him, the only brand that i can think of that put the same effort for all their phone is poco, apple, Google.
Apple? 🤣🤣You high? Those bitches didn't even created anything significant changes to their phones
Carl, I was a 1+1 early adopter. That was truly the one and only Flagship Killer. It really shook up the whole smartphone industry. I know you're passionate about making things happen as you envisioned them. I hope you follow through this time to the end. By the way, we need alt-DP support on Nothing Phones.
Nothing is like what HTC and Nokia used to be back in the early to mid 2000s...phones used to be fun back then...nice to see this brand stirring up the phone industry!
Great work Nothing! I love your phones with unique features.
I'd love a Nothing Phone Mini in the future or something like that with a 6.1 inch screen and flagship specs. It will be a dream that came true.
I hope nothing phone 2a is success!!!!!!
U're dilulu
I'm thinking of selling my Edge 40 to get it even tho its probably an inferior product
Edge 40 is way better
As it has 1.4 aperture camera (which is available rare in phones) and you can also use ready for pc(similar to Samsung dex)
@@simpleinvention1008 Yup I know but there's something about Nothing that makes me giggle like a kid (I'm autistic so I cherish the weirdness)
I don't really use Ready For cuz I don't have Miracast in any of my devices and the Edge 40 doesn't support wired RF so it's quite useless to me 👁️👄👁️
Carl understands that to make an outstanding phone you must build 25 things and NONE can be weak. Thats so hard that if you meet what sounds like this low bar your phone is a phone of the year contender (apple manages to do it almost every year!) Nothing 2 has flagship screen, power management, ergonomics, camera sensor (software is "good" but not as good as iphone 15 with same sensor & lens) - overall a fantastic and unique phone where the software UI is better than ALL other android phones & apple! Carl adopted cyanogenhmod android = oxygenOS at oneplus and carries on with the same level of innovation at nothing!
Showing the phones from 4 and 5 years ago two help and advertise your shit is just another level of self confidance.
But the fact is he just doing the samethingvothers done,you can't put every feature of your flagship to your cheep version of your phones
It is more like an art than a phone so much passion goes in ..well done guys
Just bought the Phone (2) last week
Until now I love it
I was an iphone user since 10 years, so it's a an real endeavor to switch on an android phone. Having an iphone nowadays is quite boring but really comfortable. But I've decided to support you guys and your ambition to make tech fun again! Hope you won't make me regret it😊
I think if they don't upgrade the cameras they gonna have tough competition.
Hope it's smaller than the usual 6.5 inch candy bar type phones 🙂
super super excited and happy to hear a nothing experience can be experienced quite nearly. Im a student thus making is not possible for me to get a flagship phone. I ve always admired the nothing companys design philosophy. I hope the price range can have a possibility to finally have nothing.
Really liked Carl's analysis on the current low-midrange phone market.
Omg he knows exactly what he's doing. I was so bored of those designs of other mobiles, they looked so plasticy and artificial, but Nothing's design are what I want, I have galaxy j7 rn, but I really wanted to upgrade to Nothing phone 1, but I couldnt quite afford that, so I decided to buy one when I will have a job, but when I heard from tech news, that this new nothing phone is going to be affordable I was so excited. Really thanks to Nothing for bringing a change to boring looking smartphones, and OS. I also want a phone with decent camera and battery, not much gaming but could run my everyday apps like insta/chrome/yt very well.
It won't be as cheap i guess.
Somewhere around 30-35k in India.
In usd that should be slightly more than phone 1. It may launch at 350-400 usd but not below that.
@@TheAziriusShow but they said they will bring the feature of phone1 but at cheaper price
@@LovelyMacawBird-mj7bi yeah, but they aren't giving the same hardware as phone 1.
They are giving more powerful internals. I'm about 99% sure it will be near the same price as phone 1, within 20-30 dollars of phone 1's price
@@TheAziriusShow that would mean, I have to wait untill I get a good working place...
@@LovelyMacawBird-mj7bi Yes. Anyway, it's worth it to get an expensive phone on your own money. Don't fall for any company's marketing and EMI schemes on expensive phones. Trust me, you don't need an expensive until you can comfortably spare the entire amount without resorting to EMI.
It shouldn't be overpriced 😊
1:48 when was the last time you heard about a phone that wasn't top tier?
Pixel 6a and 7a have been literally winning camera battles at MKBHD and been popular even before that
dude,i am following your gadgets from the nothing 1 ear..I order when it was first launched..product is still working great till today..its been 3-4 years already..you are doin a great work.following your work so closely..I have not used camera in my phone from 2 years..I feel mobile parts should be detachable and according to the users need..like I dont need advertisement, latest software and best display..thats all I want for now..
I expect some common feature that we see in "flagship" phone to come in Nothing Phone 3:
- IP68
- 8 or 7 years of OS + Security upgrade. (Or at least 5 years)
- HDR 10+, DolbyAtmos, Strerio Speaker
- Snapdragron Gen 3 (Not Gen 2 please)
- Heaphone jack
just go oneplus😂
What flagship phone come with headphones jack this day...
Sd gen 3 in a midrange phone😂
And u want headphone jack in IP68 phone 😂🫡👍
They aren't that big of a company yet to start giving out 7 years of updates, latest chip.
Phone 3 will be comparable to OP12r

Nothing thinks about everything and I really like that like what Carl said about big companies they don't care about their lowest phone's for example Samsung with the s24s and the exynos... This is one of the things that moves this company forward
0:36 like Pixels 🥱
I hope Nothing never just say nice things to manipulate their customers but keeps the consumers unsatisfied, i support every word they say and i hope they keep it up.
If you and nothing as a company stay true to your great attitude, you can be sure that I, and probably a lot of other people, will continue to support you and nothing.
Just keep up the great work and attitude!
Excellent presentation and has said many things I agree with. Some phone suppliers are adding useless apps to phones.
Your phone 2 camera is not good
3:53 this is why I love nothing. No other tech company would leave this in when publishing a video.
Watching this with ear 2's in my ears, I love em
Cant wait for it, Love from India.. may Nothing Phones go bigger than iphone , 🔥🔥
After a point, Nothing will make more money from being a TH-cam influencer :P

I've never been more excited about tech than what Nothing is doing.
You are doing a great job 😊 just got my first product from you the ear 2 love them 😊 next will be a phone from Nothing 💪 respect from an old guy and fan from Denmark.
What about the basic things missing in your all phones be it Photo Gallery, Music Gallery, No screen guard, No adaptor, no back cover?? What's your justification in this???? If charging premium then these are the very basics which each and every single smartphone brand should provide. So next time before taking on or trolling other brand first try to provide these things in Nothing!!
adapter in 2024? buy a Motorola
back cover? which phone brand does that?
they literally provide a screen guard
premium price (350$)
The only valid point are the basic apps, except they are being worked on. Think before posting bs please.

Some of my friends have switched to phone 2 and they've had a great experience.
I personally love the look of the phone, the photos from it are looking sick as well.
I am getting one myself soon
Hopefully it lives up to the hype I'm waiting since the start to get a nothing phone ...and it's launching during my birthday this might be a sign
