Review 1: Product: Nothing Phone (2) - 12+256GB (Dark Grey)
Review by Cake Brothers Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
Reviewed in the United
Kingdom on 27 August 2023
"I've
always been a flagship item owner, Samsung, Apple, one plus, I always had to
have the best on offer... Which is quite a sad statement in itself, but I work
in the tech industry and although I don't glue myself to devices constantly, I
like to have something which does its job well.
Earlier this
year I had my latest Samsung flagship stolen by a couple of opportunistic women
pretending to be beggars in Tottenham Court Road, apparently it's very common
and I'm still kicking myself that I wasn't more aware of their technique... But
anyway, it's gone and hopefully karma will get them... London bus perhaps.
So, after
losing a few grands worth of tech, I reconsidered my penchant for everything
flagship and realized that there were a few brands emerging that were offering
almost flagship specs for a large chunk less in coin.
Up steps
nothing.... I watched a tonne of videos and reviews and knew of the founder
through his previous business endeavors, so kept a close eye on the reveal of
this phone... As always the hype usually over-eggs the product and the tech
nimbies on YouTube wildly assume next-gen products will have 16 cameras and be
constructed of material only found on asteroids.... And so on.
I waited for a
week or two until the YouTube review boffins got their hands on them and gave
them a once-over... All of them were quite kind to the phone, so I pulled the
purchase trigger (along with a set of their nothing earbud 2's) and awaited my
delivery.
Parcel arrived
and its presentation was decent enough... Not going any further with that as
it's pretty irrelevant in my opinion.
Fired the
phone up, chose nothing's interface over basic stock Android (as I quite like
the minimalism) and proceeded to install my apps.
First thing
you note is jeeze this thing is snappy. I came from a Samsung flagship, and
this was eeeeeeeasily on par, despite this having the last-gen chip (not that I
think that makes much difference that anyone would notice anyway).... I
continued to be largely impressed and still, to this day, a month later,
continue so.
The screen is
crispy clean and yields excellent text viewing on the smallest size font... The
menus are great, the widgets are great (especially being able to use them on
the always-on display), and the whole experience has been super positive
because of 1 simple thing.... Cost... It's half the price (let that sink in) of
premium flagships yet (in my opinion) makes them look outrageously overpriced.
Sure, you
could argue those costing twice as much use better materials or better camera
options... But not to the tune of a 50% price hike... What you're getting here
is 'almost' flagship quality for half, if not more, the price.. if you're like
I used to be and assume that the best Samsung or best Google etc phones must be
good because those respective brands and its fans tell you so.... Check this
out first.
The sound from
the speakers may not be up to Apple standards, but are decent enough... The
cameras may not be up to Samsung quality sensors, but as we know from various
reports, Samsung uses software to enhance their images (the great moon swindle
anyone?) So why pay double when the output from the sensors on this are pretty
bloody good!
Finally, the
Glyphs... The founder has said on numerous occasions that he thinks mobile
phones are stagnant and boring... I agree... The glyph might be a gimmick but
when it starts to flash away like a strobe at a 90's nightclub when someone
calls you, it does make you chuckle and does grab your attention and that of
those around you (who subsequently ask what case it is as they want one...
Although end up disappointed finding out it's the phone itself).
Battery... I'm
not a constant 'on and in my face' user like my kids... But with a few calls,
50-100 WhatsApps and then a few hours of YouTube, I'm usually only down to 65%
by bedtime...it's very good.
Negatives -
when you consider the price... Not many warranted ones...a few software
glitches, expected as it's their new o/s and to be really picky, I'd rather
have a 'close all apps' option when closing windows and I find the adaptive
brightness too heavy... I've opted to leave it off as I was getting annoyed by
opening the screen in low light to be hardly seeing anything.
Overall, again
- for the price Vs flagships, it's an absolute no-brainer."

Review by Russky100 Rating: 3 out of 5 stars

"Comingfrom a OnePlus 7 Pro, I was really looking forward to using the Nothing Phone
2.... After all, it's from the brains and founder of OnePlus, Carl Pei!
Well, I'll be
honest... I loved the phone, the style, the operating system, and just the feel
of the thing in your hand..... It's really a standout phone in a sea of mobile
blandness!
Things I
liked:
- Build quality.... It's soooo nice.
- Operating system..... So original and
refreshing. The B&W and somewhat retro feeling interface is utterly
brilliant.
- The glyph system on the back of the
phone is interesting and yes, useful.... If you flip to Glyph you really
don't use the phone as much or get distracted.... Also, it looks very,
very cool.
Battery:....
Oh, this is an all-dayer and then some. Absolutely superb battery
performance.... Just be sure to check the charger requirements as it was a
normal slow charge with my old OnePlus 7 Pro charger!... You may need to factor
in a new power adapter?
- Screen is good for a 1080p.
Things I
disliked:
- Screen (yes, I know it's in the liked
section).... The screen is excellent for a 1080p and at times is wows....
Though at other times video footage (YouTube) can look a little soft, and
to me, that's very distracting.
Cameras: Yes,
they are OK, and some pictures look really good... However, after two updates,
there are still issues with dynamic range and watercolor-looking zoomed-in
images (though this is full in zoom).
Chromatic
Aberration was also visible on the edges of tree branches and other objects when
shot against a bright sky.
But
honestly... It's not a bad camera system, and I was mostly happy with the
images it produced.... And I expect these will improve with future updates!
Things I
really, really disliked:
- The sound and speaker system:
WOW! On my
phone, these were so bad... And by bad, I mean embarrassingly bad....
They were
tinny like an old transistor radio from days gone by, but with clipping and
massive distortion of sound... At times it sounded horrendous!
Though after
two updates, they did improve slightly.... But, and it's a massive but! It was
still impossible to play one video or music track one after the other without
the sound profile changing and the distortion returning..... Is this a software
or hardware issue. I have no idea, but I know it's unacceptable on a £600+
phone.
Call quality: Volume on full and still struggling to hear the conversation in an outdoor environment... Not good at all!
