I don't mind the comparisons between the flagships and the Nothing Phone (2), but I wish most of the video focused on comparing phones of the same price.
Exactly my thought 😅. Here in India, we are getting OnePlus 11r 5k cheaper with almost same specs bundled with a charger only missing glyph and wireless charging. The video was great but I would have liked the comparison with pixel 7/7a, iPhone 14 and OnePlus 11/11r..
@@aritrasaha914you get iqoo Neo 7 pro much cheaper than 11r. Those are cheaper phones. For a much finished product in terms of premium appeal there will be a much higher premium.
4:27 - "You lose the compression of an image, the most important part about a telephoto lens, when you simply crop a sensor " - how does that make any sense? You only lose resolution by cropping, the compression (close and distant things appearing similar size) is the same. The field of view is the same. Using tele lens vs cropping a wider image from the same position to achieve the same zoom will result in an identical FoV.
As soon as I heard her say it I scrolled down to see if there is already a comment mentioning it - thank you for posting that comment :D Being precise here really matters imo! Because saying something like "without the dedicated tele camera you loose compression" is exactly what companies would tell everyone as hype marketing to get you to buy the most expensive product.
Would recommend trying the Vivo X90 series versus Pixel for a night mode showdown. Currently own a vivo X80 Pro that's crushing every other flagship in night mode even a year later.
Same here, prefer notification light than ringtone. Miss the day where we can set different colour of light for different app. Sadly, I think Sony is the only company who still retains this feature.
Right there with ya, Becca! When Samsung removed the blue notification light, I almost quit the brand. (But the 10x optical zoom got me back, and fast)
Hi Becca, solid review and opinions, but you do NOT lose lens compression when you crop in a photo: even the images you compared show the same exact lens compression! It's the overall quality that suffers, since it's just a strong crop of an image from a standard/wide angle lens with some algorithm to improve the thing (and in bigger sensors, you also "lose bokeh" but that's a whole other chapter!)
finally, a review that STARTS with video comparisons. It might just be me, but video quality is far more important to me, and reviews tend to overshadow the video + mic quality and focus on photo comparisons. Great video
This was the best way to put the cameras tot the test. Thanks. It made me buy the Nothing Phone 2, because now I feel what to expect. A capable phone with a good enough camera.
Excellent comparison video. I am planning to buy the Nothing phone 2. Cameras are priority but I love the fact that they are running on stock android. I love using stock android phones.
What even is the point of a 50MP mode or even a 50MP sensor to begin with when - in comparison - it looks nowhere near of what 50MP should look like (on a phone)
I am between nothing phone 2 and Samsung s23 plus ... Can anyone tell me an opinion about them please? I would really love camera and photos be the best
iphone if you can take the wall garden in daily life. iOS is good and third party apps work great. For Android if pixel had a good modem then I would recommend this over nothing. Pixel software is great, nothing is anywhere around it.

the fact that Nothing phone (2) gets to be compared with the 1000 dollars legends tells everything, while other 600 dollar phones get compared to you know 600 dollar phones 😂 I own phone (1) and it sometimes takes better photos compared to my friends 12 pro max, phone 2 is much better and that's more than enough for most of the people, just compare this phone to the regular iphone 14, nothing has better battery and charger, it has better 12hz LTPO display (i think slightly brighter not sure tho let me know if I'm mistaken), it has reverse wireless charging and usb C, iphone 14 is actually a really good phone but this one is better for the price, I only wish Nothing had better water resistance and slightly better haptics
the camera quality off my Nothing phone 1 is DEFINITELY better than that of my Galaxy s21 ultra. in fact, i love using the Nothing phone 1 way more in general.
when you think about it the phone 2 still wins big time because of one thing: the price. the 14pro and the others are not in the same category of price, yes the phone 2 is a flagship but not the same budget, and thus the comparaison is in its favor. To many reviews forget this point... but it is important because some people will drink those words. you cannot compare an things that are not the same value / features and expect the result to speak scientific truth. nice video tho
OMFG! I honestly think the Nothing Phone is way better than both the IPhone and Samsung… At less than half the price… Coming from a small start up company… That’s just crazy. At least in my opinion.
I think the real story here is not so much how good the Nothing's photos are (and they are), but how bad the iPhone 14 Pro's are. I went from a 12 Pro to a 14 Pro, and I've spent the last year being mad that my wife's 13 Pro takes better looking pictures. Apple's image processing is simply not yet dialed in to the new hardware in the way it was for the old 12 MP sensor. It's been a massive disappointment tbh. If I wasn't such a fan of the dynamic island implementation and a longtime notch hater, I would have swapped it for a 13 Pro.
Nothing phone (2) photos are blurry and over processed, have to admire it after half a year of use. And there is huuuge topic on Nothing community forum about this, with nothing team completerely ignoring it.
Does a flagship phone need a telephoto lens?
Yes!
I would argue a telephoto is more necessary than an ultrawide in my opinion.
@@KelvinBastow yeah, the distortion with an Ultra Wide lens can make it difficult to manage framing singlehandedly.
Yes
Yes
Becca's camera review is simply the best on the internet.
100% agree
Came here to say that. So underrated. ❤
All of Becca's reviews are the best on the internet!
They really are. She’s fantastic.
Cuz she is actually a photographer 👌
Becca is single handedly saving the verge.
completely agree after Deiter left for google this channel has been downhill except for becca
I miss LED light notifications on the front screen. I don't think I'd really get the full use of them on the back.
6 minutes 51 seconds of worthy tech time! Becca!!! Pls do more videos.
There is something about Becca's personality that is just so heart-warming! Love these camera comparisons and all the effort put in them!

Bueno el pixel 7 pro tiene las mismas cámaras qué el pixel 7, qué le esperara cuando salga el 8
@@aritrasaha914you forgot the most important thing the software.
Two days with Phone(2) and I'm loving it. I just moved the SIM card from my Pixel to the Phone(2) today.
I used to be a Pixel 7 user myself and I switched to the nothing phone 2 and I have been very pleased with the phone and the camera
your videos are always brilliant !!! keep giving more of this comparisons and dedicated camera review..

Most honest and fact driven review so far
The 50 megapixel photos of the Nothing Phone look SO MUCH BETTER than the 48 megapixel photos of the iPhone!
Best camera reviews as usual. ❤
Super love this Becca's review on phone cameras. Probably the most interesting analysis on this phone aspect in the inter webs.
Really good and helpful video!
love that this was as detailed as your mirrorless camera reviews. and the audio quality is next level.
Very detailed review!!
Love you work. Keep it up 👍
Where is the full frame CZcams channel?
Great Review!
your professional camera reviews are so fun to watch
Same here, prefer notification light than ringtone.
Miss the day where we can set different colour of light for different app.
Sadly, I think Sony is the only company who still retains this feature.
There's apps for it, not a true light but still have a dot for your liking
@@tonywith2e could you share the app for this? thanks
its abit finicky and probably dont work at all. but if you can find a version of G Cam App, you can level up the lowlight picts using the night mode
Right there with ya, Becca! When Samsung removed the blue notification light, I almost quit the brand. (But the 10x optical zoom got me back, and fast)
Wow. Didn't knew i was missing out on this amazing camera review.
How’s the macro mode Becca ?
Great review ✨
Wow nice video concept 👌
Awesome review
Becca since you love glyph like me, do you use it hidden music visualisation feature?
What phone becca uses as a photographer pixel or iphone or samsung ?
Hi Becca, solid review and opinions, but you do NOT lose lens compression when you crop in a photo: even the images you compared show the same exact lens compression!

Love your videos! On the Ultra-wide though I agree with Vjeran
Vjeran here. Sending you a virtual high five! ✋
I like the glyphs but realistically keeping my phone face down would just never happen and once you wireless charge it’s hard to go back to cables
atleast u still notify if u accidentally put your phone face down
Phone 2’s photos look better. They look like “real” camera photos rather than phone cameras in that that have more visible contrast and details.
Great to have Becca back on the channel.
The Pixel doesn't have a dedicated 2x lens either right or even the IPhone ?
Is there any shutter lag?
Another video about video please? Also include the XPeria 1 V?
A phone review actually comparing it to other for use viewers to get a reference point is weirdly rare on CZcams but damn is it better
Did the recent nothing os update improve anything ?
This was the best way to put the cameras tot the test. Thanks. It made me buy the Nothing Phone 2, because now I feel what to expect. A capable phone with a good enough camera.
Excellent comparison video. I am planning to buy the Nothing phone 2. Cameras are priority but I love the fact that they are running on stock android. I love using stock android phones.
So like the nothing phone gets a video but not the pixel fold!?
i've seen a lot of extremely positive feedback about the night mode on the nothing phone 2, maybe it's been updated to work better? (idk)
Underrated video!
Hopefully Nothing Phone 3 has a telephoto lens and I'll consider buying.
Yes more lights pls
i knowno one care should i go with pix 7pro what you say ma'am
What even is the point of a 50MP mode or even a 50MP sensor to begin with when - in comparison - it looks nowhere near of what 50MP should look like (on a phone)
NO mention of the 32MP front facing selfie camera?! KILL ME. This camera comparison is a TOTAL fail.
4:35 Why was Apple mentioned when they don't have a telephoto lens on any iPhone? I've never seen where a credit it's given based on rumors.
I am between nothing phone 2 and Samsung s23 plus ...
Can anyone tell me an opinion about them please?
I would really love camera and photos be the best
I'm confused about going to Iphone 14 or nothing phone (2). What do you suggest keeping the camera as priority?
iphone if you can take the wall garden in daily life. iOS is good and third party apps work great.
For Android if pixel had a good modem then I would recommend this over nothing. Pixel software is great, nothing is anywhere around it.
Wow. This was a great look into the cameras!
best review so far on internet
you need compare the phone with the same level (catagory )of competition
No selfie cam review?
Their shots are really nice for the price. Seem more capable than oneplus lol
I hope Becca is on the Vergecast to talk about this phone.
What about macro?
Becca is straight on point, no unnecessary talk
Nothing OS 2.0.1 is already coming with Camera improvements
I really wished it has a 3rd Zoom camera, even if it's only x3
Phone 3 will have it
Love this company
😂
I hope Becca can review the Sony A6700, since it seems like a nice middle ground in the prosumer category
Just got a 14 pro (I know…): what’s the best way to get 48MP pics?
Enable 48mp ProRAW in camera settings. Other than that, keep your phone steady and your lens clean and bam, photography magic!
@@houbsmars Thank you!
Gotta say I dig this phone tho. Would consider switching from iPhone but my current still have some years in it
Becca's the best now. Thanks for the review! Keep it coming!
Videos from becca are the best
Really wish more companies would utilize telephoto lenses. I very rarely go wide as apposed to wanting a tele zoom.

Can someone tell nothing phone2's camera is good or bad? because some people don't recommend it for the camera
Why were people saying the Nothing phone took bad pictures on other parts of the internet?
Edit: Nvmnd, outside of Expert mode it isn't that good.
My only complaint is drinking a plastic free Perrier with a plastic straw.
Thank you for the detailed comparison.

I have no interest in the Phone 2, but when I saw that Becca had a new video posted, I had to watch it. Probably the best reviewer of all tech sites.
Besides Dieter, Becca's the only other reason I'm still sub to The Verge.

Nothing phone 2 camera 50MP has worsened after update. I am frustrated of it.

Love the idea of this phone. But I'll be keeping it on pixel Gang 💪📸
Try Zenfone 10 it's the Pixel killer

I think calling its price "competetive" with this performance compared to flagships literally twice the price is a bit of an understatement.

It must be compared apple to apple with its price rivals.
This will be better understanding who want to buy a phone in that price range.
i love becca's videos
Eh. It’s $600, takes good pictures? Acceptable to capturing memories? Oh it lights up too? Fancy. Take my money.
But I mean, why wouldn't you compare it with the phones of same price range rather than with phones almost double its price......
You don’t mention video which is much important than photo. If it doesn’t produce good video compared to the iPhone then this comparison is not valid.
If you want good video go for an iPhone. I wouldn’t say video is more important than photographic stills. A subjective comment .
You didn’t say buds once in the video, what’s even the point? 😂
