Before watching the video, this is by far the best way to test a smartphone, how it behaves on a regular day, with no repeating pointless specs. And always with an interesting story to go with a review!
Thank you!

Have the Nothing 2, Edge Plus 2023, zenfone9 and pixel 8 pro. Can do the same tasks on each phone and the one that constantly can't get me through a day is the Pixel 8 pro. Love this review of practical use and using a phone as a phone. Not sitting inside on wifi all day. This phone is really good in my opinion and has turned into my daily driver.
My wife and I both have a Nothing2. I got the earbuds as did she, and we LOVE these devices. A fantastic price point for a premium device that doesn't require to be plugged into a charger every 4 hours, nor does it get hot after talking on it for a while. We LOVE it.
does the battery last long? And does it heat up when you play games?
how is the battery life
@@jelbin18battery life is amazing. Can last for up to 2 days under normal use, but I am not a gamer, so I'm not sure about the gaming part. Battery doesn't get hot at all
@@jelbin18took 6 hours of 60fps Wild Rift from 95% to 18%
@@stevenrobbins7402I have the same experience, normal use can get me 1 1/2-2 days before it require charging,
(Im not a heavy user, not a gamer on my mobil phone)
The fact that it is clicking photos similar to the iPhone 14 is a big win for phone 2.
This is the right way to test a phone.
Not just being at home, taking some pictures, making a video, and letting playback a video on CZcams for the next 10 hours.
Very well done.
The artechhouse was fascinating.
Hands down my absolute favorite review format currently. Your videos for real world tests are just the absolute premium way to look at a smartphone. Keep up the awesome work!!! Can’t wait for the next one. I click on them to watch the real world tests regardless of my interest in the product lol they are just that good!!
Thank you so much!! Means a lot! And im trying to post one every Sunday 🙏
Can I just say even if I'm not interested in a particular phone, I still watch your videos for the exploration! Like taking a tour of a new place I may not otherwise see. Keep up the good work!!
I'm the same way. I love watching all the videos but I'm not buying anything new either 😆
Thank you! Honestly means a lot for you to watch regardless of the device 🙏
Same
Clearly you have put a lot of efforts in recording and editing the video and the final output looks brilliant. I also like how you were educating us about the places.
Thank you! Means a lot when these videos take as long as they do to make
By far the best approach to review a phone. Loved the comparison shots and pics. Pls bring more of such content. Cheers and good luck 🤞
Came across this channel recently while buying a new phone, and your content is perfectly on point! Keep up the good work mate, subscribed :)
I've had the Phone(2) for the last couple weeks and it's not a bad phone. The glyphs definitely feel like a gimmick, but otherwise it just feels like what a generic android would be and cost if Samsung and Apple hadn't spent the last few years competing to see who could fleece the highest premium from consumers by waving a bunch of shiny features they don't need at them.
Then again... now that we've passed the month mark on the phone my opinion of it continues to slide. Feels a bit like paying $700 to beta test something - especially when you talk to Nothing support about issues and a lot of the response is that they're a new company so they're still working on making better devices in the future. I'm about 90% sure that within the next couple months I'm going to eat the cost of the phone as a loss and just switch to a more established brand with better technical and accessory support. Especially after the nothing ear sticks I bought to go with the phone had the "right earbud volume failure" I didn't even realize was a thing until it happened to me and I googled for solutions.
uhh... I used the phone(1), and im on phone(2) rn. I was tired of using those shitty samsungs (I don't get flaghips as daily drivers) especially with its UI and other chinese phones. This feels like a refresh to me. I really love this device and I ain't gonna buy any other phone or brand of phone until this company is alive
@@LevenZ69 My phone(2) is sitting in a drawer as a backup in case my Flip breaks. Was too frustrating to keep as my main phone, tbh. Auto brightness was weirdly aggressive, it was super hard to find a case for it (I don't like clear cases, they get way too dirty too quickly), I usually set the grid to 5x6 so most of the widgets didn't look right anymore (which feels like a bizarre oversight). I'd have returned it if it didn't take so long to hear back from their CSR that I missed the cutoff date. Between that and the ear (stick) that stopped working right after only two weeks, it'll be quite a while before I send anymore money off to nothing.
@@jlm_pix To be honest, auto brightness was a bit of a flaw with the Phone(1) too. But I don't use auto-brightness on any of my devices, I used it on my OP6 for a while and disabled it, I just don't like auto-brightness in general. And cases is a bit of a problem if you don't want a clear one, clear case is the way to go because that's the thing that stands out the most in the phone. To me, I bought a case from spigen which are known to not get dirt or turn yellow, I used that case on my NP1 too. Although I love the device, I get what you don't like about it. I set my grid to 5x6 too but I don't mind the smaller grid with the OS 2.0 because it feels super refreshing and I am willing to give that up, and it's actually has become a benefit rather than a con. I've had the ear sticks in the white version from the last 7 months and they work fantastically, pairing was a bit of a hit or a miss at the initial stage of the product but since has not caused my any inconvenience, they need to improve their quality control majorly for the earphones for sure! Although I didn't have to encounter their customer support because I didn't have any issues. I love the device and will keep it for a long time, they surely have huge issues with quality control though. I feel like that's the only brand apart from apple on which I am willing to spend even a grand because I don't daily flagships because I am too frequent to change phones and don't want to waste a ton of money doing it. I am planning to keep the phone(2) and will pass it along to the family when the phone(3) drops next year. I used the s21+ for a while and that's when I decided I am not going Samsung anymore, their UI feels inconsistent, they literally have a 12 fps animation for unlocking and animation for plugging in, the notification center swipe feels laggy and unusable, linear ass animations without any joy of using them, that's the only good thing I found about the ColorOS/OxygenOS, they have super smooth animations although may feel a bit sluggish at first. They had very not fun animations and sometimes the phone lagged on me, had buggy animations. I love the PixelUI, ColorOS/OxygenOS, iOS, and NothingOS for having such great animations. I get the feeling of using a flagship, from build to software, everything feels top notch, Initially I wanted to go for the Sony Xperia 1 V but decided to give this a try, no regrets so far but I will be later down the line getting the Xperia for sure, I love photography and that's the only flaw I found with this phone, the auto-mode, expert mode is pretty good though, and that's what matters to me, the expert mode! Cheers! You surely should give the phone(2) another try! It's a great device!
@unholydonuts quality control is not very good, although all three of my devices are perfectly fine
Wow, wish I'd discovered you earlier. Such brilliant work that I so appreciate! Concise, thorough and practical unlike so many others that just speed talk through leaving out half the specs or info while focusing on just the camera. Thanks for the tidbits about the city. My brother always pointed out historical perspective on parts of the entire tri-state area as do you and really adds such a compelling element. Thank you!
Aw thank you so much!! Means a lot!
Your format is the one I really make a point of watching.. and sometimes even on topics I might otherwise skip.
Thank you that means a lot 🙏
Been waiting for this one man. Awesome work as always!
Thank you for being patient and coming to watch!
Always enjoy your DLR videos. I do like the look of this phone and it's premise but not sure it's enough to pull me from a Pixel. Time will tell with the next iteration and the route Google is taking with them. Also, love a cardamom bun and miss the ones from Fabrique Bakery. So good! Give them a try.
BTW, keep the bloopers. Always enjoyable.
Thank you! And so long as places continue to be annoyingly loud I'll keep putting them in here 😂
I think Google needs to hire Carl Pei to be on their design team. Just imagine the Glyph interface on the back of a Pixel. I almost got the Nothing Phone 2 but, I’m going to wait for the 3. I believe that one is going to be a premium device. Thanks for another real world test and the history lesson.
The glyph interface is a toy.. You'll lose interest in a week.
@@bgaming531 As someone who actually has the phone, it's a lot more useful than you think. It makes you put it screen down so you don't get distracted constantly, and it also just looks hella cool lol. Definitely not a phone for everyone, but things like the glyph timer are incredibly useful when you wanna just have a timer that doesn't make you keep opening your phone to check (plus you can see it from across the room!).
Nice review! Really good to be taken round a bit of New York, love it when you do that. I like the Nothing 2, its a nice looking phone, the camera's have come on a lot, I suspect that there's a bit of processing going on behind the scenes, thats not a bad thing at all.
Thanks so much!
I have chosen Nothing Phone 2 Gray
12x256 and i am very happy Nothing owner 😊
Great way to review any phone. Loved it! Thanks bro 👏👏🙏😍
always enjoy these-thank you!!
Thank YOU for watching!
I really like your content ❤ it's a really different way to review smartphones . ❤❤
FANTASTIC REVIEW! 1. Great to see NYC with you! 2. Superb display of the phone & all that it offers. This one cements it - Your presentation style, in common with your studio sharee MF, puts you streets ahead of ALL other reviewers, EVER! IMHO. Thanks David, and, as always, "More please" 😉
Thank you so much! And new one each Sunday is my goal 🙏
David loving the format of your vlog simply I have Nothing bad too say 😊. Seriously that phone looks great
Aw thank you!
Nice video . Good to see a full day review like this . Personally i like the look of this phone and the company seems quite refreshing. Probably be picking this phone up next year. 😊
This type of vlogging phone review is literally the best way to review phones. Prob my fav tech reviewer
Aw thank you!
Sweet review on a new company. Big fan of OnePlus phones, definitely keeping an eye out on the Nothing phones in the future.
It seems like for a phone that's supposed to be about nothing. it seems like there's a lot of emphasis on the camera. which is probably the case with a lot of phones. I do like the battery saving idea.
Very nice video, and I really like and enjoy the nothing 1 and 2 I got 😊
Will you please share the music title you have on your video from 12"55?
I really would like to have it as ringtone on my nothing phones.
Keep going, your videos are very cool and you rock 😉
Great next level UI.Finally something new, different! Not ready to give up my S23 Ultra just yet. Nicely done very informative vid.
The phone 2 is pretty good, but actually what I find interesting was that even phone 1 holds up pretty good against the other flagships when it comes to photos and videos during the day time.
Yep phone 1 user here, no need to upgrade if you already own phone 1, if not thn this phone 2 is a good choice
I actually thought phone 1 took the better picture seems a clearer picture and more detail
@@graeme66 i own phone 1 and my brother own phone 2, phone 2 took better picture after the latest update which is os 2.0.3, but before that yes phone 1 took better picture but in video category it's phone 2, phone 1 video just very mediocre
@@edzen6122 can you put same screens on phone1 the black ànd white dots like phone 2 has
I own a Nothing Phone (1), nothing amazing, a good mid-range, great design front and back, with mid-range Cameras. With Nothing OS 2, NP1 is still very smooth for regular use. I was hoping Shutter Lag would be reduced, but not🫤. I don't regret buying this phone 👍🏿. Nothing Phone (2) seems like a good improvement.
Love this review format.
Thank you for watching my weird format 🙏
I didn't know that there was an app to make that all the icons were monochromatic, thank you for mention it!
I watch every time a new one is released. I love this format
Thank you so much!
Sitting in a closed room and talking about daytime photos and videos is what most reviewers do but this feels different. Kudos !
Superb! Thank you so much for real-world test videos! Great! :)
Thank you so much!
Nothing is clearly imitating iPhones both in physical design aesthetics and camera tuning. Both are fine on my book. Keep up the good work lads...
Hey, this is the first time I watch one of your videos. Congrats for the job! Subscribing now.
Thank you! New one each week 🙏
Thanks much for the review. Got mine last week, and i am very happy with the purchase. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for watching even though you have the phone!
Is the battey good? And does it heat up when you play games?
that's call a good review ❤
keep it up
As always, love the video layout and follow through. Very informative.
One question about video on smartphones: why is it the cameras are outstanding but the audio recording is so subpar when compared to the video rez? Drives me nuts to see beautiful 4K video followed with audio recorded on a potato played back in a tin can.
Thank you!
They don't prioritize it I guess. I also hate it lol
okay this is it. i am convinced. im getting this device. youre really good at this mate it! keep up the great work. gave me a proper perspective. better than most tech reviwer video
Thank you! Really glad my video helped 🙏
Unique type of review. I dig it!
Thank you!
Commenting even before the video starts because that's what we do!
A great format for reviewing technology against a very pretty and mind-blowing backdrop
Haha thank you!
Thank you for showing us a real life applicable view. The camera is really good although they could be much brighter in the daytime.
This is now my favourite tech/vlogger channel on you tube ,btw i bought the nothing 2 phone and it is an amazing device .
Same here. I came from the Pixel 7 and I'm very pleased with the phone. The software, the battery and the performance is amazing and the camera is good enough. I mean is the pixel 7 better yes. But honestly not that much better. 8/10 score from me
Great video. Keep it up! ❤️
Awesome video as always, love your unique day in the life reviews. I'd love to see a 'what's in my bag' video from you someday!
Thank you! And yes I think I'll do that at some point, good idea!
What’s the intro music? It’s soo good and it goes along with the footage so well
Great video really like my Nothing phone 2
Thank you for watching even though you own the phone 🙏
Lovely Review! I found that the microphone in the intro was a tad bit bland compared to the rest of the phones at this price point. What's your take ?
Wow the colors on nothing phone 2 videos reminds me of early Galaxy S3-S4 videos with saturation on steroids
First things first, Coffee ☕ check! As a Brit I love this about your informative tech vlogs and reviews! 😎👍👊
Best review format bro.
Thank you!
you need to try motion pro camera which can allow you to take CinemaDNG 10bit video on it.
Stock video has sharpening artifacts.
This was very helpful because I'm looking into it. But my main reason for getting a phone is games. Usually MMORPG and Augmented Reality games. So how does this phone perform?
Another day, another real world coffe ;P .
And same as some of the other comentators, not really interested in that phone, more about tour guide done by You, which all of them are very interesting. Keep up good work :) .
Thank you really means a lot!
Another great video!
Thank you sir!
Great format.
🙏
What about haptics and adaptive screen brightness?
Another solid RWT.. 👏🏻👏🏻
🙏
Good laugh indeed, and regarding this phone I feel it's a great option, maybe more agreements with companies so they can sell even for less and get more market, and also entering some latin and Asian markets could be a good option because it's in the price range many of those countries buy.
Fun video as always man
Thank you as always Chemy!
Probably one of the best and interesting camera review of Nothing Phone 2 😍😍
Thank you!
18:28 I just can’t help but feel that this guy’s laugh sounds awfully like a Kookaburra’s “laugh” in a way… I can’t be the only one who hears it, right? 🤭😅
"I want him to leave, but I'm happy for him" 🤣🤣🤣 Superb video 👍 Was also great seeing New York through your eyes too!
Ha he had such a good laugh 😂
1:13 - Danish people do not live in Holland (the Netherlands) but in Denmark.
In the most English-speaking countries we call them both Dutch (yes its ridiculous but it's the term used)
David the Bloopers are So Good 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
😂
You sir know what you are doing. I have and love the phone and will be checking your reviews out more often.
A Swede here, where Carl Pei actually grew up.
I love this format and I love New York. Really miss it even more now after watching your review.
I´m a Pixel user but a long time Oneplus user and I'm very curious about the Nothing 2.
Thanks again for the awesome video.
Nothing phone 2 256gb for $384 and iPhone 14 128gb for $563 ... which is better (I'm an Android user)
Can you put the icon pack on phone 1 love the black ànd white dot effect
This guy is underrated
🙏🙏
i love your channel from how to like glow apple logo like these videos and this video incredible good so far so good i really like it thanks to you David
Wow you've been here for a while thank you so much!
@@TheUnlockr and also I was following your account since 2019!
And one more thing my brother's face structure is very similar to your face lol.
out here in Lynbrook we been calling it glyph phone 2.
Nothing2 or apple 14 which is better.
Are you using the Wandrd Rogue sling? Curious what size you have and if you like it.
I am. Just got it before I filmed this video and so far it's useful for my video format as carrying 7 phones and my camera and other gear fits in it 😂
It's the 6L
Me gusta, creo que cambiaré mi iPhone por ese. ❤
Im thinking about getting the Nothing Phone 1 because im broke, is it still usable ? Or should i wait for the 2 having a price drop
Go for the one. Then switch onto the Nothing phone (3) if released.
Good job 😊
Love the vid. But damn those are some bad microphones on the phone, very tinny.
Okay so what other phone u recommend in this price range?
incredible video
Thank you so much!
great intro
I would love a smaller nothing-phone!:)
Love it
I might have missed it in your video but what network were you using? My usage is very similar to yours in videos but I usually get half the screen time with the various phones you review. I am starting to wonder if it is a Tmobile network thing
I think I saw he was using AT&T
AT&T
This is such a GREAT way of showing off this phone's capabilities, no nonsense.
On another note, I've been using Galaxy S22+ with its rather... terrible battery life. Is it worth grabbing Nothing Phone 2 over my current phone?
Thank you!
Carl seems like a sick guy aswell as his phone.
Not very nice!
@@Avgeek1564 ? Sick as in cool
Why is it called pillowed glass ? Any guesses 2:58
how are so many people complaining about the camera being rubbish, i honestly couldn't fault it.
Watching on no2❤
Hey.... firstly nice see you🎉 please help...im going to buy but completely confused nothing vs 12r
am i color blind or something i didnt even notice any major differences in the image samples compared to other phone
Im from Kerala. South side of India. Im a phone buff and i like the way you review different from other youtube tech reviewers. Now almost all phones have same specs and is at its peak. Your videos are so subtle and also have an advantage of seeing places that i would probably never see me in entire life. Thanks man and keep up the good work 😊.
Thank you!
Nice phone 👏🏻👏🏻😊
My issue with devices now is that for review it appears that the camera is at the forefront and the rest of the device is in the background unless it's foldable is this a demonstration of a lack of innovation in the market as the on innovation/improvement is the camera is mobile innovation starting to flat line
Nothing is update camera quality is nice 🎉
That guy laughing at the end.. 😂
The idea of Nothing phone is exciting, it is different from boring phones from big companies. But as this video shows, the image and video quality of this phone is still far from flagship phones, and at this price point. S23 or iphone 14 are more solid and reliable choices. If they consider drop price or improve camera quality to the mainstream, it is still an interesting phone not a good or great phone.
I have problems with no internet messages .
Bonjour,je vais bientôt être propriétaire d'un Nothing phone 2 ,et je voudrais savoir si c'est vraiment un bon téléphone !
man! of all the camera shots, pixel 7a is just the best
It even beats iphone 14
