Re-reviewing the Nothing Phone 2 in 2024 after long term use and that Android 14 update, which brings us up to Nothing OS 2.5.5. As well as camera upgrades, the Nothing Phone 2 boasts Glyph updates and improved customisation - plus ChatGPT support.

You'd either love or hate Glyph Interface; people I’ve spoken to have extreme opinions, ranging from very cool to bothersome. The good news is Glyph Interface can be turned off entirely. We think it's not ideal to get the Nothing Phone (2) without using its iconic LED lights given its practical improvements. But, we'd understand if some users just want the cool "transparent" look of the phone's rear. If you're looking for a snappy, high-performing 2023 Android phone that has 120Hz refresh rate, very decent camera performance and excellent battery life under a thousand bucks, it’s hard to recommend something that's beyond the Nothing Phone (2) for the time being. It’s really that good. The Nothing Phone (2) retails at S$999 for the 12GB+256GB model and at S$1,099 for the 12GB+512GB model. The phone can be purchased directly at Nothing’s Singapore website through Shopee, Lazada and other retailers like Challenger.

OK, so the Nothing Phone (2a) is not a bad phone, especially for $350. It carries a very distinctive style and it does have that Nothing DNA — if you've been thinking about dabbling with it and seeing what Pei's team is up to, it's a good entry point. But it doesn't beat the Phone (2), which has a better performance, build materials, a much bigger — and more fun to play with — Glyph interface, wireless and reverse charging, and slightly — but noticeably — better cameras. Final verdict — if you can spare the extra cash, the Nothing Phone (2) is still worth the leap. If you are on a budget — the Nothing Phone (2a) is just fine and it will serve you well and look cool doing it.

Finally, the most significant difference between these two phones is the price. The Nothing Phone 2 starts at $599 here in the United States, while the Nothing Phone 2a starts at $349. A $250 difference isn’t peanuts. However, there is a big asterisk here, which is that the Nothing Phone 2a is not technically available in the United States. In order to get it, you have to sign up with Nothing as a developer in their new program. You basically apply, and then Nothing sends you a link to buy the phone. You’ll have to accept some terms and conditions that tell Nothing that you understand that this phone is not designed to work in the United States. And if you face any problems using the phone in the United States, that’s your problem, not Nothing’s. You’re going to have to decide if that $250 is really worth it. But when taken in isolation, the Nothing Phone 2a and Nothing Phone 2 are very similar to each other.

If you’re still wondering if the Nothing Phone 2 is worth buying, let me be clear: it definitely is. You’ll stand out from the crowd due to the cool design and be rewarded with strong performance, a great daytime camera, a gloriously colorful screen, and close to two-day battery life. You’ll discover the joys of the Glyph lights and use one of the cleanest (and most customizable) operating systems out there. What’s more, you’ll be helping to change the smartphone market (particularly in the U.S.) for the better by embracing a new brand and celebrating choice. For once, you won’t be drastically compromised by doing so either, and at this price, the few spec differences are fairly easy to forgive. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time with the Nothing Phone 2, and wholeheartedly expect you to do the same. It’s one of 2023’s most important phone releases, and thankfully, it’s also one of the best.

Nothing Phone 2 is not just another ordinary phone, but a combination of modernity and sophisticated minimalism in one device. From the aesthetically pleasing and new exterior design to the powerful interior with flexible and versatile software that is easily customizable and can meet the needs of any user. This device truly reflects meticulous attention to detail both inside and out. And its performance is one of the best in the upper mid-range, so I’m sure it will satisfy users’ needs in all their tasks, from the most intense to the least demanding. Of course, not everything is so rosy, it also has some drawbacks that we cannot help but notice, such as the front camera and its adaptability to social networks. That’s why, given the price of almost $740, the smartphone gives us reason to think about this issue. However, its widgets, customization options, LED backlighting, and minimalist and elegant aesthetics more than compensate for these shortcomings.

Nothing Phone (2) offers several variants, and the price depends on the memory capacity. The cheaper version (8 GB RAM, 128 GB memory) costs $599, while the variant with a larger capacity (12 GB RAM, 256 GB memory) costs $699. The most advanced version (12 GB RAM, 512 GB memory) is available for $799. It's still not at the level of super expensive flagship phones or regular flagships that start from $1000 and up. It may seem like nothing, but it is quite a nice device that is certainly worth considering in certain circumstances.

The Nothing Phone (2)’s new 10–120 Hz LTPO display at least partly explains the significant price increase over its predecessor, the Nothing Phone (1), which places the (2) in our Premium smartphone category. Although the new screen offered good color fidelity in our tests, our experts measured 751 nits on our test bench under 20.000 lux and 1020 nits peak luminance, which is unimpressive, particularly when compared to such premium devices as the Samsung Galaxy S23, which achieves up to 1750 nits. Still, the new Nothing phone has better readability in low light and indoors over the earlier model, although it remains essentially unreadable under sunlight. As for its video performance, the Nothing Phone (2) has low brightness, with nearly invisible dark tones; further, a green cast is visible on all our test videos.

It’s really difficult not to recommend the Nothing Phone 2 to anyone who is looking for a smartphone at the Rs 45,000 price point. I will go as far as to say that if you can spare the cash, and can move your budget up by Rs 5,000, then do it, you won’t regret it. You get near flagship-level performance, especially in real-life use case scenarios, a pretty solid set of cameras, a design that still manages to turn heads and catch eyeballs, and a pretty solid battery life. And the pretty lights at the back, actually have a ton of functionality now. The only negative that I can think of about the Nothing Phone 2, is that the rear glass surface is a little too slippery and that it only has IP54 water resistance. And, if you’re really looking for a negative, you might add that the Nothing Phone 2 looks a lot like the Phone 1 and that not a lot has changed.

The Phone (2) comes at a starting price of Rs 44,999, which is more than what its competitors offer their devices at. Like the OnePlus 11, which is almost a like-for-like competition. The glyph interface now has gone beyond the novelty value and it is a polarising feature. Either you will love it or you just won’t fancy it as there won’t be a middle ground. Nothing is charging that extra ‘premium’ of Rs 5,000-something for that unique design. Because competition is fierce in this space. If you don’t want the sound and light show and a ‘pure’ Android experience, then there’s the Pixel 7a as well. Not to forget devices from OnePlus and iQoo as well. Having said that, the Nothing Phone (2) is a really good phone that delivers on almost every front. The display is bright and vibrant, the camera clicks images with enough details and clarity and it handles all tasks with relative ease.

It might not be the follow-up we were expecting, but the Nothing Phone (2) is still a solid effort as the firm’s first flagship. It’s cheaper than its competitors and improves on its sibling smartphone in a number of ways, particularly in terms of design, performance and battery life. But it’s not without fault. The software, while updated, still needs some extra refinement, and it’s a shame that the camera offering has largely stayed the same as its cheaper counterpart. Yes, there’s a lot to like here, with the Nothing Phone (2) earning a recommendation overall, but I would like to see some bigger differences in these areas with the next iteration, especially considering the price increase.

There are plenty of other options available from Chinese brands that hit on a lot of these features while also coming in at cheaper price points. That argument is fair in many markets, but it definitely doesn’t factor into the conversation in the US. In European markets, things will play out a little differently, but if you want a flagship-tier device in the US that’s not ridiculously overpriced, the only real options you have are the Pixel 7 and the Nothing Phone 2. Over the past few years, Google’s carved out a nice chunk of the US market with this approach. If Nothing can manage to save up some cash for a marketing push, the Phone 2 could easily become a go-to alternative that we so desperately need.

The Nothing Phone (2) performed well in our battery test protocol and ranked in the top half of our database. Its performances were very similar in terms of autonomy and efficiency compared with its predecessor, the Nothing Phone (1), but the charging experience was significantly improved thanks to increased power supported during the charge. The Nothing Phone (2)’s autonomy in moderate use lasted a decent 2 days and 7 hours. When testing individual usages, autonomy was slightly above average overall. Autonomy excelled when watching videos and using the GPS navigation, but was poor when using the camera outdoors or listening to music. The charging experience was good and much improved over its predecessor. Now supporting charging at 45W, the Nothing Phone (2)’s time to a full charge takes only 56 minutes, half the time of its predecessor’s.

In an era where each new phone generation often struggles to match the excitement of its predecessor, Nothing has remarkably achieved the feat of making the Phone (2) truly stand out. The captivating design it boasts captures the essence of the beloved transparent plastic devices from the nostalgic ’90s era, but this time with sophistication. Simultaneously, a simple yet exciting OS sets the phone apart from the rest. Nothing also empowers users with innovative tools like the Glyph interface, which introduces a fresh paradigm for presenting information and notifications. This fusion of aesthetics and functionality injects a unique charm into the Phone (2)’s user experience. All these and more make the Nothing Phone (2) a noteworthy contender in a crowded market.

I'd recommend Nothing Phone 2 to anyone who wants a fast, well-specced smartphone without paying the premium of a brand like Apple or Samsung. There are certainly some corners cut to get this RAM and chipset for under $1000 / £1000, such as a good but unremarkable camera. Yet, if you're looking for a budget, or mid-priced new phone that will last and feels different from the norm, this is it. The standout really is the UI and Glyph system, it may take some getting used to but Nothing Phone 2 really does change the way you use a smartphone, limiting needless time spent swiping around and I love how it forces you to rethink which apps are useful, good or needed. Nothing Phone 2 is priced well; the 8GB / 128GB model is $599 / £579, the 12GB / 256GB build is $699 / £629 and the 12GB 512GB version $799 £699.

At its starting price of RM2,999 for the Nothing Phone (2) with 256GB of storage—rising to RM3,499 for the one with 512GB of storage—I have to say, the Phone (2) is a seriously competent package of a smartphone. I mean, there’s a great screen, solid build quality, usable cameras, fantastic software and guaranteed software updates. Oh, and if it matters, there’s the unique Glyph Interface too. Compared to its other Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 rivals that have launched in Malaysia this year, the Phone (2) does stand out as the best overall phone. There’s the Poco F5 Pro that’s much cheaper sure, but you’ll have to make do with a poorer camera setup. Then there’s the Oppo Reno 10 Pro+ which goes for RM3,499, but has a much more complete camera setup with a periscope telephoto shooter. Both of these alternatives also don’t have a guaranteed software update policy, nor do they have a slick UI experience in the first place.

Overall, I was pretty impressed with the Nothing Phone (2). It can do almost everything you would expect from a premium model—and looks like one too. For the most part, the cameras do a great job for the everyday user. The main pull for the Nothing Phone (2) is the uniqueness it offers, from the Glyph Interface to even how you can customise your screen, widgets and icons. Nothing OS 2.0 gives a different UI than most, following its brand aesthetic of minimalism and monochromatic themes well. Even their Weather app and its widget look beautiful. You can also choose the size of your icons and widgets to fit on the screen (such as making an app icon the size of four apps stacked together, for example). The Nothing Phone (2) is fancy and flashy, and if that’s what you’re after, then yes, it’s true to everything it stands for.

This brings us to the big question: should you consider purchasing the Nothing Phone (2)? Spec chasers might find it expensive. After all, the OnePlus 11R and the iQOO Neo 7 Pro are offering the same processor and faster charging batteries (with chargers in the box) at lower prices. Phone camera and stock Android fans will also point to the Pixel 7a, which brings Google’s computational photography sorcery as well as a lot of Android smarts at Rs 43,999. The Nothing Phone (2), however, is not really about specs or specific performance parameters like photography or gaming. It does those well, but where it stands out is in terms of sheer experience. If you are looking for a phone that looks and works differently from others, with near-flagship specs and performance, then the Nothing Phone (2) is a no-brainer.

In conclusion, the Nothing Phone (2) is a real improvement from the previous generation, it is a very quirky, yet fun device to own, aside from its statement design, it is actually a decent daily driver. If you want an iPhone-esque designed Android smartphone, or you just want a decent smartphone that has a different design, powerful enough for you daily tasks and gaming sessions, a smartphone with a few quirks, the Nothing Phone (2) is worth checking out. For pricing, the Nothing Phone (2) starts at PHP 38,990 for the 12GB+256GB variant, and PHP 44,990 for the maxed out 12GB+512GB combo. Price can be a little steppe to some people, but if you have the penny to spend, the Nothing Phone (2) can be a good choice.

The Nothing Phone (2) may be fighting a lost battle with its competitors in terms of specifications but it’s the experience which matters for Nothing and it sure is nailing that with the Phone (2), be it for software or hardware. It does have its own weaknesses but those do not overshadow the flagship performance and overall experience the brand is trying to give its users, and is so far succeeding in it.

The Nothing Phone (2) is truly something special. It has taken a phone that was essentially all-looks-no-substance and turned it into a well-rounded device with looks and utility to match. Not just that, Nothing OS 2.0 is possibly one of my absolute favourite mobile phone operating systems – it looks distinguished, classy, and clean while being fluid all the way through. The performance has improved vastly and battery life is superb as well. Now, for the price tag of ₹44,999 going all the way up to ₹54,999, the phone may seem overpriced to some. The Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 is present on much cheaper phones such as the iQOO Neo 7 Pro and the camera stack is nothing to write home about.

All of this is to say that if you’ve got Verizon and are curious about giving the Phone 2 a shot, it’s doable. You’ll get your texts and calls. Data works quite well. But you shouldn’t depend on Nothing’s device in this scenario. Outside of 5G coverage areas, you’re unlikely to have as robust of a signal as you would on other phones that support Verizon’s full range of bands. So keep another, actually-certified phone within reach if you decide to splurge on this new gadget.

The Nothing Phone 1 offered a comprehensive package for its price, and while it didn't necessarily excel at everything, it didn't miss out on any important features either. The Nothing Phone 2 feels exactly like that, just in a different price segment. Sadly, our criticisms of Phone 1 also apply to the new Model: the ultra-wide and selfie cameras are strictly average in low light, and video recording needs improvement. I also think Nothing should have bundled a fast charger with the phone considering most of the competition still does this. The Nothing Phone 2's strongest feature remains its software. Other than a Google Pixel 7, I can't think of anything else that comes close to it in this segment. It's slick, refined, and feature-packed without feeling bloated. Those who intend to use the Glyph lights will appreciate that added functionality.

The Nothing Phone (2) offers a neat blend of familiar design and novel user experience. While it may not be flawless, its reasonable pricing matches the overall package, emphasising design, user experience, and performance. With the exception of imaging, the smartphone excels in every aspect when compared to its peers in the same segment. Additionally, its clean and optimised user interface further solidifies the Nothing Phone (2) as a smartphone to consider in the segment dominated by Google, OnePlus, and Samsung.

Good looks can only get you so far. That’s where I see the Nothing Phone (2) — a striking slate that upends the norm by flaunting a transparent design paired with glowing lights. Nothing’s approach in making its smartphone a device to be reckoned with has been nothing short of frenzied, but it needs more than good looks to charm consumers into snatching it up. While I’m bummed by the camera’s shortcomings with low-light situations, I’m also questioning the decision to increase the phone’s price. Sure, it’s a first time offering here in the U.S. with a $599 entry, but it’s actually a price hike over its predecessor — like in the U.K., where the original launched at £399, while the successor now costs £579. That’s a big increase that puts it into premium midrange territory.

In a time when new generations of phones never seem quite as exciting as the last, Nothing has still managed to make the Phone 2 stand out. Its eye-catching design captures some of the best qualities of clear plastic gadgets from the ‘90s, like Gameboys and Nintendo 64’s, but in a much more sophisticated way. Meanwhile, Nothing’s Monochrome UI asks users to be more thoughtful about how they use their device while giving them tools like the Glyph interface that can surface info and notifications in novel ways. And even though its specs don’t jump out at you, it never felt slow and it’s well-equipped with handy features like reverse wireless charging. That said, for $600, the Pixel 7 is still the better value. It’s got a newer chip along with a much more sophisticated software package which includes features like Call Screener and robust language detection, and its cameras are in a class of their own.

Phone (2) feels much more like the Nothing Phone I always wanted; I just wish they'd included a zoom lens and pushed the design a little further to set it apart from its predecessor. Despite this, the Nothing Phone (2) is juggling a lot, offering a great design, flagship performance and a much better integrated OS, all for less than the Pixel 7 Pro or Samsung S23. While some may be disappointed that it looks the same as Phone (1) there's so much more fantastic hardware and software under the hood, that makes the Nothing Phone better than ever.

Nothing has proven it can be a compelling alternative to a Pixel or a Galaxy phone. $599 is a great price for what you get here, including updates and support for years to come. Everything about this phone feels like a win, and while it's not necessarily the best at a bunch of things, it excels in some key areas. PWM-sensitive folk may just find a haven with this high-frequency display. Folks who love taking selfies or portrait mode photos will love what they get. And anyone who enjoys fancy gadgets with some particularly unique, obvious aspect will thoroughly enjoy the Glyph lights on the back. It also performs admirably across all tasks, has excellent battery life, and sports a build that rivals even the best manufacturers in the industry. All in all, this phone is a winner, and I think anyone who chooses to pick one up will find they won't regret it.

So that was all for my full review of the Nothing Phone 2. And looking beyond all the hype, I still think Nothing has managed to deliver a pretty impressive semi-flagship phone that checks most boxes. Including a solid build quality, a nice display, excellent performance, and decent cameras. Its cameras certainly have a lot of room for improvement, but ultimately, I can’t help but think if this is how the Phone 2 should’ve shaped up to be. I mean, when you really think about it, this is an iterative upgrade at best. Like… a Nothing phone (1) Pro or something. There’s obviously nothing wrong with iterative upgrades, and maybe I have only myself to blame for my high expectations, but this is not what I envisioned Nothing’s “more premium” smartphone would be like. A stronger ingress protection along with a telephoto camera would’ve been the absolute icing on the cake considering its price.

Is the Nothing Phone (2) a true Android flagship? Almost, but not quite, in my opinion. I find it still a notch below a Samsung Galaxy S23, an iPhone 14 or a Xiaomi 13. Admittedly, these models were more expensive than the Nothing Phone (2) at launch. But they have since come down in price, and are indeed direct competitors to the almost-flagship Nothing. Nevertheless, it's impossible to deny that the Nothing Phone (1) of last year has clearly moved upmarket. Nothing has only been around for four years. The design is more mature, the screen is very clean, the Glyphe interface is a little less gimmicky, performance is totally consistent and Nothing OS 2.0 is well on the way to becoming my favorite Android overlay. In any case, in absolute terms, I can totally recommend the Nothing Phone (2). And I intend to use it on a daily basis for a long time to come, just like the Nothing Phone (1) before it. Yes, I'm a fanboy, but so what? Your smartphone has really cool LEDs, doesn't it? I don't think it does.

Unboxing the Nothing Phone 2, an upgraded smartphone boasting fresh camera hardware and boosted specs vs the original handset. However, the Nothing Phone 2 will also cost you more in the UK, starting from £579 - and here's a full tour ahead of my review, showing off those fresh features. This 2023 model isn't just more expensive, it's also bigger at 6.7-inches, with a redesigned Glyph lighting rig. In Nothing OS 2.0 you'll find lots of new tools to make use of the disco back, plus a fresh new monotone setup. The Nothing Phone 2 is fun to use, and you can see more on the software in my tips and tricks guide. That camera now rocks an IMX890 sensor, same as the OnePlus Nord 3, with improved HDR abilities and boosted video recording. Gamers will appreciate the extra grunt too, courtesy of the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1.

More and more smartphone companies now seem to believe there is no need to revamp their offerings every year, instead opting for incremental improvements that add to the user experience. And this is not just in relation to flagships from Apple and Samsung. Even Nothing, which is just on to its second edition seems to think so as is obvious from the Nothing Phone (2) which seems to draw on the strengths of the Phone (1) more than reimagining a second version.

The Nothing Phone (2) is, we feel, a worthy successor and an evolution of what the Phone (1) was. It finally has a flagship chip, even if it's not the latest-and-best. It has more features for the Glyph interface, giving those that are trying to grasp or like the concept of keeping your phone face-down something more to hold on to. And the Nothing OS 2.0 adds awesome ways to make your homescreen clean, simple, unique, and still extremely functional. Obviously, Nothing still has a long way to go — the camera algorithms still need work to meet the competition, the UI feels like a solid base is there but it needs to go further with the overall Android skin customization, and we still get (very minor) bugs on launch. But once those things start getting addressed, the price may also start climbing towards the flagship threshold.

The Android smartphone world is one of extremes. On the high end, you've got what some would consider Way Too Much: folding screens; built-in pens; ultra zoom cameras. But down in the midrange, there's a lot of what I consider Not Enough: watered-down specs and compromised experiences, wrapped up in bland, forgettable designs. That’s the space London smartphone maker Nothing has been trying to shake up for the past year with phones and accessories built to stand out … and this summer, it’s bringing that flashy phone (and some new ideas) to the US – with the Nothing Phone (2).

Should You Buy the Nothing Phone 2 - and is it a big upgrade over the Phone 1? In this review I test the design, performance, camera, battery & software to find out if the Phone 2 is worth buying!

We could be cynical and dismiss Phone (2) as a well rounded, pseudo-iPhone clone running Android, with a decent price tag, a fancy design, and a light show in the back. But that would be lazy. When you consider that Nothing is a three year-old startup that isn’t backed by an existing handset manufacturer, Phone (2) is truly a remarkable achievement. Carl Pei and the rest of the team should be proud. Ultimately, Nothing Phone (2) is an affordable flagship that ticks all the right boxes. It brings a ton of fun and personality to the traditional smartphone form factor without sacrificing performance or value. The hardware is polished and refined, the software is clean and responsive, and the Glyph Interface is more useful than ever – even if it’s still just icing on the proverbial cake. At $599, you just can’t go wrong.

So, is it worth buying the Nothing Phone (2)? Well, the answer to that is tricky. But let me try to simplify the answer. The Nothing Phone (2) is built upon the Phone (1) and looks more or less the same with some sensible tweaks here and there. These tweaks include - curved glass at the back, a larger form factor, a modified Glyph design and so much more. Overall, the design looks more premium than the Phone (1) for sure. The Phone (2) is also a big upgrade in terms of specifications, with a powerful processor, larger battery, and cleaner software experience. So, overall, the Nothing Phone (2) looks quite good and is a decent upgrade over the Phone (1). While all is well, the price of the Phone (2) could have been a bit modest. The Phone (2) starts at Rs 44,999 and goes up to RS 54999 in India, which is much higher than the Phone (1) price

The Nothing phone (2) is nothing (2) f**k with. It’s a stellar phone through and through. It looks great, feels great to use, and truly stands out from the flagship crowd with its unique aesthetic, great cameras, zippy performance, and decent battery life. There are a couple of rough edges, though, such as the use of last year’s chipset and the potential visual epilepsy risk of those strobes of the Glyph interface. But this time around, Carl Pei’s hype machine may be just about backed up by a true summer blockbuster of a device.

The major difference between the Nothing Phone (1) and Nothing Phone (2) is price. Now, given the original didn't launch in the US to begin with, the maths is a little iffy, but the Phone (1) was £399, or the equivalent of $475-500-ish at the time. Not bad for a solid mid-range phone, but there were definitely cheaper, competitive options available. It's a busy, competitive smartphone market, but the Nothing Phone (2) improvements should help make this a firm favorite for those who want an excellent mid-range phone that's just finding its feet, pushing its own style, and carving out a name. Its unique approach to design, both in the phone and its operating system, should at least attract those looking for something new—even if its underlying identity is "glass slab." Either way, the Nothing Phone (2) is a fun, mid-range smartphone that will certainly have the established smartphone names looking over both shoulders.

The way I feel about Nothing Phone (2) is the way I feel about most Android phones: You likely won’t be disappointed if you buy one, but I’d still recommend a Pixel over it. Nothing’s unique approach to UI design is worth commendation, to be sure, even if it didn’t produce its intended effect on me during my time with the phone. It’s admirable to want people to be more careful with their phone use. And even if you choose to ignore that side of Phone (2), you’re left with a fast, slick Android phone that almost certainly looks cooler than anything your friends have. Nothing’s second attempt at smartphone glory isn’t a total slam dunk, but it at least belongs in the highlight reel.

The thing that strikes us most about the Nothing phone (2) is the refinement of the design. For a phone that's designed to attract attention (despite the company ethos of making tech blend into the background), this is a phone that looks great. I've caught a lot of people stealing a sideward glance at it, not just because I've been using an unreleased phone, but because it's unique. (Don't forget, there are people selling phone skins to make devices look like this.). This phone has the performance of an older flagship, just as you'd expect. But what it doesn't have is the camera performance of an old flagship. The camera lacks in a number of areas, especially low light performance and that's the biggest negative of this device. For some, the positives will outweigh that negative, but for others, the camera performance they are looking for will lie elsewhere.

The Nothing Phone (2) is a solid upgrade to its predecessor and shows the company's commitment to making something different. Nothing has a philosophy well in mind and is trying to get a product out there that offers a different way to interact with our devices through both its Glyph interface as well as its software. The $499 Google Pixel 7a may be its closest competition, but these phones diverge on a number of things. Pixel photography is typically gorgeous, but the Pixel line comes with that large camera bar on the back compared to the understated dual lenses on the Nothing Phone (2). The $699 OnePlus 11 5G comes with the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon SoC, takes better photos, and is similarly sized to the Phone (2). (Side note: Nothing CEO Carl Pei was also a co-founder of OnePlus).

The Nothing Phone (2) has flagship specs at a mid-range price, but it still feels mid-range. The display and camera in particular are disappointing, and the bulky build makes it a large and awkward phone to handle. Yet Nothing OS 2.0 is excellent, and makes Android feel different from other manufacturers’ phones in a good way. The phone also has great battery life and packs in wireless charging, and the glyph lights are clever – but you’ll either love them or hate them. Familiar mid-range pitfalls stick out such as an IP54 rating, a dim screen, and sometimes cheap-feeling haptics. But if you love the aesthetic and don’t think the lights are a gimmick, then the Nothing Phone (2) is worth considering, especially as it is guaranteed four years of software support.

Some might lament the price increase of the Nothing Phone (2), but I think it’s a worthy trade-off for a phone that looks and feels just as stylish as the original but with enough power to compete with flagship-level phones that are much more expensive. The Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chipset delivers this in bundles, beating most of the best mid-range competition in benchmarks. It also has the additional benefits of the 8 Plus Gen 1’s power efficiency which, when coupled with a large 4700mAh cell doesn’t struggle to last all day, with the ability to stretch well into a second day with average use. The twin 50MP snappers are another highlight, with the main camera delivering consistently great-quality snaps in most scenarios, though it’s not quite as capable as the likes of the Pixel 7a in low-light scenarios.

The Nothing Phone 2's flashy LEDs certainly make a statement, and both its processor performance and battery life are strong. But the extra $100 Nothing wants over its predecessor has changed the game. It's gone from being an affordable budget option to quite a pricey midranger, while the competition has been getting stronger. The Pixel 7A is arguably its biggest rival, and personally, it's the phone I'd go for over the Nothing Phone 2. Its processor isn't as powerful, but it'll still handle almost all your daily needs, and its camera is better. Plus it's quite a lot cheaper. I'd also consider the OnePlus 10T over the Nothing Phone -- it didn't impress me at its full price at launch, but its current $400 price makes it a worthy option.

At a starting price of Rs 44,999 for the 8GB/128GB variant, going up all the way to Rs 54,999 for the 12GB/512GB version, the Nothing Phone (2) could be a tough sell and might not be for you if you’re a spec fiend. Let’s face it – it’s not really the best in its segment in terms of core aspects like performance, camera and charging speeds, given its asking price. If you don’t appreciate the Phone (2)’s design language or the Glyph LEDs, the new device might not appeal to you. Those looking for a capable all-rounder and value could find the iQOO Neo 7 Pro (review) a better buy, coming at a much lower price too. And closer to Phone (2) territory, the OnePlus 11R (review) is another strong contender. The Nothing Phone (2), in a similar fashion as the Phone (1), is a bold choice.

The Nothing Phone 2 carries over the same transparent glass design and LED lighting array — portentously dubbed The Glyph — from the Nothing Phone 1, but ups the ante with more powerful internals, subtle build tweaks, and other minor spec bumps. The result is a familiar Android phone with a fractionally higher price tag, but one that pushes beyond the mid-range trappings of its predecessor to take on the biggest names in the business. The Nothing Phone’s part-retrofuturistic overall aesthetic is kept intact, but when I put the Phone 2 next to the Phone 1, the tweaks to the formula — admittedly one still heavily indebted to the iPhone — started to show. The lighter two-tone shades of the Dark Gray model I have on hand work in tandem with the more varied and defined textures and lines to emphasize the internal components and carefully positioned covers far more than the Phone 1.

But if you do, or you just want a breath of fresh air, an innovation of sorts in an otherwise boring market, the Nothing Phone (2), or (1), will not disappoint you. On the contrary, the Phone (2) offers a thoughtful pick of features with a pinch of premium and two of innovation, and that's why we do recommend considering the Phone (2) and even buying it. Because "they just don't make them like the old times" does not fully apply here.

Given the Nothing Phone 2's strong performance, competitive price point, and generally okay cameras, it's easy to see parallels with the phones OnePlus was making back in its "flagship killer" days, then under Nothing founder Carl Pei's leadership. I think this phone will appeal to the same type of enthusiast customers who liked OnePlus's early phones: people who want a viable, interesting alternative to more mainstream options at a fair price. General availability in the US is going to expose the Phone 2 to a bigger pool of those enthusiasts than the Nothing Phone 1 enjoyed, too, and I'm interested to see how it affects the upper-midrange market it's competing in. But that market is more crowded than it was years ago, and while the Nothing Phone 2 punches above its weight on performance, display quality, and style, camera quality isn't quite up to snuff compared to other phones that cost about the same — or even less.

If you’re still wondering if the Nothing Phone 2 is worth buying, let me be clear: it definitely is. You’ll stand out from the crowd due to the cool design and be rewarded with strong performance, a great daytime camera, a gloriously colorful screen, and close to two-day battery life. You’ll discover the joys of the Glyph lights and use one of the cleanest (and most customizable) operating systems out there. What’s more, you’ll be helping to change the smartphone market (particularly in the U.S.) for the better by embracing a new brand and celebrating choice. For once, you won’t be drastically compromised by doing so either, and at this price, the few spec differences are fairly easy to forgive. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time with the Nothing Phone 2, and wholeheartedly expect you to do the same. It’s one of 2023’s most important phone releases, and thankfully, it’s also one of the best.

Overall, this is an incremental step up from the first Nothing phone and offers a very strong camera set that is comparable with the iPhone 14. It looks stylish, feels good in the hand and offers a ton of customisation and speed at its core. You’re getting a lot of phone here, but then it is considerably more expensive than its predecessor, so you’d expect that. Is this an iPhone killer - no - but does Nothing have the future potential to create a device even better than Apple’s flagship - absolutely. And for now, Android lovers really do have a top piece of British tech to choose from alongside the more established Samsungs of this world when deciding on their next handset.

I have almost nothing but good things to say about the Nothing Phone (2). The software is excellent, as is performance and battery life, the camera holds its own against competitors, and the design is unique in all of the right ways. I even think the price is quite friendly for the package being delivered by Nothing. If you need the negatives wrapped up somewhere nicely, I would point to the size (it’s large to me), lack of true Verizon support, and sub-par IP rating. If those aren’t of concern in your world, then by all means buy a Nothing Phone (2). While still a new company with a lot to prove, this is an excellent 2nd phone that we’re happy to see added to the list of choices in the US. We needed this.

By the numbers, it’s a well-equipped midrange device. It costs $599 and comes with a capable Snapdragon processor, a big, smooth-scrolling screen, and a few extras like wireless charging. So far, so good. But then, there’s the vibe, which is at least half of the attraction. It’s harder to quantify but lives somewhere among the translucent rear panel design, the light strip notification indicators, and the distinct Nothing OS launcher. It’s not like a regular phone — it’s a cool phone.

The Phone 2 will officially go on sale on Friday, July 17, starting at $599 for the 8GB of RAM and 128GB variant, and going up to $799 for the 12GB of RAM and 512GB configuration. No matter which end of that spectrum you look at, the device is clearly priced to compete with the likes of the OnePlus 11, Google Pixel 7, and base models from Samsung and Apple's flagship series. I'm curious to see how the market reacts, and whether or not Nothing will remain as competitive as it slowly builds a following in the U.S. Price aside, you should buy the Nothing Phone 2 if you consider yourself an early adopter and/or want to try a new phone from an up-and-coming brand. The Glyph Interface makes the Phone 2 one of, if not the most, interesting slab-style phones on the market, and it's genuinely useful if digital well-being is something you value. But, if you're seeking the best camera system in this sub-$600 price range, Google's Pixels will serve you better.

The Nothing Phone (2) will be sold through the company's online store. Pricing starts at $599 for the base model. That's a good price, but it doesn't compare favorably to the Pixel 7 and most especially the Pixel 7a. That being said, this phone is more fun to use than either of the other two phones. If you want a phone with a great camera, that's the only reason to choose a Pixel above this phone. The combination of the glyph interface and the software makes this a solid choice above all others at this price point, except for the cameras. More than that, though, overall the Nothing Phone (2) is a great step forward in Nothing's evolution, but it was also an easy step. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that if you improve every specification over the previous generation you're going to come away with a better phone.

Nothing’s debut smartphone had both distinctive design and value for money on its side. Phone 2 makes only minor tweaks on the styling front, while pushing pricing a little further upmarket, so the bar is higher. Still, we reckon it’s one Nothing has cleared by a wide margin. Phone 2 is wonderfully well-rounded, with plenty of power, a long-lasting battery and cameras that take very presentable photos for the price. Glyph lighting is no longer just a novelty, and the new-look UI feels much more cohesive. Extra performance, a streamlined build and a bigger screen go a long way in justifying the cost increase over Phone 1, while managing to keep it out of true flagship territory. It feels very smartly placed among mainstream rivals, sneaking under the Google Pixel 7’s RRP in the UK at £579 for the base model, and matching it in the US at $599.

The Nothing Phone (2) impresses threefold: first it's so comfortable to hold and use, with a distinctive design; two, the improvements to everyday essentials, such as battery life and screen quality, are a real mark of quality; third, it adds a dollop of fun on top all of that, with features such as Glyph lights not just being a throwaway gimmick. Sure, it's pricier than its predecessor, but I think it's worth it and, for me, this is a rare moment of unexpected Android phone joy.

Overall, the Nothing Phone (2) is a solid offering from the London-based phone manufacturer. As someone who typically prefers foldables, I’ve been thrilled to use this handset. The phone uses Glyphs, which is a bit of a gimmick, but it’s still a useful feature that’s fun to show to friends. The handset also offers stellar design language, and if you like the way an iPhone 14 Pro feels, you’ll enjoy the Nothing Phone (2) as well. The Nothing Phone (2) can handle any task I throw at it, and the Nothing OS is minimal and clean. Most importantly, the handset is reasonably priced. Unfortunately, without being available at carriers, the Nothing Phone (2) might be a tough sell. However, at $929 to start, the handset is a steal, even with its roughly year-old processor.

The Glyph lighting system has gotten new customisation options. It now supports auto-brightness and you can tag certain apps or types of notifications from a particular app as ‘essential', which means one light strip on the back will stay lit till you dismiss or view that notification. There are new ringtones and notification sound packs, and you can even now use the Glyph lights to keep track of a timer or check the progress of an activity in some third-party apps such as Uber. Finally, the new Glyph composer allows you to create your own ringtones and alert sounds. The Nothing Phone 2 has some tough contenders to deal with in India. There are the OnePlus 11 5G, Oppo Reno 10 Pro+ 5G, and iQoo 11 5G to name a few.

The Nothing Phone (2) launches at €679 for the 8/128 variant as a flagship alternative to the €469 Nothing Phone (1). The Glyph pioneer is still relevant, powerful, and capable as last year and is noticeably more affordable. On the other hand, the Phone (2) will offer you faster hardware, speedier charging, and improved display and cameras for the extra €210. The move to the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset effectively elevates the Phone (2) to a new device class and lets it rub shoulders with a slightly different tier of competitors. Its new LTPO display, with a much more dynamic 120Hz refresh rate and better beak brightness, is a definite standout feature. The same goes for the bigger battery and improved charging speed, both worthy of a higher-tier product.

You've also got a more complex Glyph setup, with Swedish House Mafia soundboard shenanigans. Likewise, the latest Pei phone will likely boast longer battery life, thanks to the efficient chipset and bigger battery.
