Wow. Amazing work. Keep it up 🎉
Crazy how £579 isn't considered to be expensive for a smartphone anymore. By the standards of some tech CZcamsrs at least.
It's pretty midrange for most phones now
Buy a midrange. Seriously mid ranges are priced like flagships but you don't even feel the difference so much
bruh my phone is like $100 and my dad was like it's too expensive.
i mean, it isn't? remember how many features and things in general you get for these. you get GOOD camera's advanced software. unlimited apps with unlimited features you could want.
if you only want to text and make calls and maybe use some basic apps then those phones will obviously cost much less
That's a little higher than my laptop cost😂😂
This is the first time I have seen Arun so chill literally all the way in his SHORTS reviewing a phone.
why u gae
It's coz he's wearing.... shorts?
Showing off his leg day progress Ig
My c0ntent is way better
i know why tho this is bcz he feels like (nothing phone) is a smaller company then apply or any other esle...!!!
5:45 "Rick, Yeah", that is the most hidden rick roll he has ever done
i just realized thx bro
I’ve been watching your channel for like a year now and you do an amazing job explaining things that can be boring in a fun way. great job Arun!
Arun is one of the most balanced and modest mobile reviewers in the techworld. Well done bro.
Simp
Him and mkbhd should mos def collab more!
I like him and MKBHD the most.
Except he sold sold his Soul to Apple 😅
@@CactuarKnightWhat?
As a Phone (1) user, I love to see how the Nothing tech is getting better and better❤️
same ❤❤❤
What do you mean? He only held air or an iPhone the entire video!
same
Better hope Nothing is like this for life and doesn't go downhill.
By the time they come out with 4th or 5th one, Nothing will be perfected
I love so much stuff on this phone, the design, simplicity, OS and good specs without being overkill. I'm searching for a new phone since the battery on my current one is terrible by now, but those photos compared with Pixel 7 damn... and the price range at least in Europe is very close to a flagship price, it's a shame but for that reason I'm out.
Who knows if until the Pixel 8 comes out they will be able to improve the camera software and when the price drops in a deal, then yes.
Bought it's 256/12 gb variant with all the accessories in 450 dollars and for that price I think it's a steal
I absolutely loved this video! Honest, interesting and funny. I know everyone has their own preferences, but for me this was a million times better than all the ‘weirdest tech’ videos etc.
I've been using the monochrome app theme for a long time...using smart launcher with adaptive icon...
and it is actually effective...and it being built in means a lot of people would be benefited from it without being tech savy
Same, i use Nova launcher with the LineX pack (Green, because it's my favourite color) and i absolutely love it, causes so much less distractions and doomscrolling
9:59
Arun: "7 hours of screen on time, I'd say is more than 98% of the population probably needs."
Me: "I might be in that 2%"
how much sot u need
For real, one day I had 14 hours of screen time. I don't do more than 6 hours now. But 14 HOURS?! How did I even do that?
@@fatehranks idk like 12h
You people need to go outside for a change 😂
@@veefos maybe put your phone down for abit. Get some fresh air
Great video, you always make it look exciting and fun the way you edit the video ❤️
Finally got my hands on this phone!. I really love nothing's branding & their unique design choices. I was willing to give up a couple of features for it.
I was still skeptical that it will just be show piece instead of being useful. But after using it I totally vouch for nothing.This phone has so much personality, it fast & smooth if you're upgrading from a mid-ranger its just crazy. Only thing I found that's a bit of a compromise is the camera. Its very good but not impressive especially considering the price.
Arun's ability to rick roll us in the most unexpected hidden ways is a pure talent
@CosmicGeometryDash he also had a rick mug showing earlier.
@CosmicGeometryDashcheck when he was playing music to show lights sync
@CosmicGeometryDash yes
True man
Check the scene where the Uber driver says , you are RICK right? 😂😂

well spoken, clear, review. thank you
nice move for getting a real uber in the background mate ;) that was the byte if video
Arun is going crazy at this point. 3 videos in 3 days, that is just terrific ! He's ready to do anything to beat Apple.
Erm, have you not seen every review he comes back to backing Apple? As that's what he likes, and that's fine.
Are you sure?!
It's always exciting to see new companies entering the smartphone market with unique ideas, like this backlight!
Glyph interface….lol😎
Search up Doogee s88 it also has a backlight
I could have a spoon coming out of mine. It's unique. You buy?
@@OldUKAdsPERFECTION
@@OldUKAds Where to buy? I cannot find it anywhere.
Arun - thanks for another helpful video. On the money. Your video production quality has gotten to a point where even if I try watching another review because it came up in a search result, I wonder what you would have produced on the subject, and that's that. No more hopping once a user lands on your production.
from my experience as a product manager, when it comes to giving users options, the fewer the better. I love android, and I find it awesome that I can control every aspect about it. That is because I am a tech savvy, but when it comes to majority of users, it would be overwhelming to be bombarded with tons of features and options!
It makes sense to give users basic popular options, but if you need more options, come on, you have an android phone. slap an app on that that gives you that specific option.
6:19 hahaha arun had to flex those cards... i would too lol
4:38 Nice ringtone Rick
I like the way how you put things across, Nice 🙂
I've been using this for about a week now and I feel that it has been made with a lot of love, specially the software, down to every minute details it's like the sounds the animation even the back indicator, everything is so well done. I have used 13 and 14 pros but I have never seen anything this good man. This phone is just something else. Totally a no brainer for a minimalist
How is the camera of Nothing Phone 2, i have ordered the phone but i'm a bit skeptical about the camera 🥲
@@amanstark the camera is great when lighting is good but it's okay in low light while capturing human subject great or capturing landscape, use palma filter for very vibrant pics, it's definitely better than based iPhone but not as good as Pro or Pro Max

You're not alone, Arun.
Nice content, the nothing phone 2 is really a very impressive phone can you get a lot of bang for your buck, but I do feel like 1+ before as you pointed out the camera is where they compromise clearly, but one can just download the Gcam apk to sort out the camera issue somewhat, but I’m very impressed that nothing. OS is pretty much like the pixel now we have their own spin on things, just like 1+ in the old days.
You unboxed the device with the CEO of the company. I will never expect anything bad from you about the device. I mean, the overall review will always sound positive.
Yes bruh i see no bad comment ever, something dodgy going on
Tbh after watching his video about the Humane AI pin I trust him 100%, he also met with the CEO and said the product is not good, actually said that its really bad
I just quickly wanted to say that thanks for making videos, I feel like every creator that puts this much effort in their videos need to hear this. ❤
This guy is delivering quality content while being consistent. This is what makes him the best tech CZcamsr.

@@ShortsSoundsOfficial nice!
I'd be wary of a tech reviewer that claims 1080p is 1/3 of 4k.
LTT is superior tbh, this is just for the mainstream noobs
Good to soo a fresh brand doing well!
The only problem for a lot of companies for people like me, a person living in South Africa is that most of these phones are not even an option to get if you want an easy life. For example for the last few years, I have been importing the Google Pixels for my son, but this means even getting a case is real planning since you have to import that, and the worry is always if the phone ever break, you might struggle to fix it. This is what has caused Apple, Samsung and Huawei to be the leaders in some countries, it's simply out of the difficulty to acquire these phones.
I've been planning on buying a pixel phone for a while but scared that some features may not work due to it not being sold here. Does it actually work properly or do some things, like 5G not work here?
As someone who works from home, and gets distracted easily, the Glyph system is one of the best ways for me to flip over the phone, avoid distractions, but won't be constantly checking my phone for works issues everytime I get a notification. It's an out of sight, out of mind situation that really benefits the notification anxiety I would get when receiving a notification.

Very helpful content I love this video.
I've had my Nothing Phone 1 for six months now I was lucky enough to get in on the Beta program that they offered us here in U.S and I must say this phone runs flawlessly mid-range specs and price with the flagship feel it was the best $299 I've ever spent for a device highly recommend this Phone. Can't wait to see you enough to get the nothing phone to I can imagine how good that phone is going to be with the upgraded specs
The owner of Nothing is a communist.
Also I've always had an issues with the way third party apps completely ruin the fresh look your phone has with it's built in apps , the built in apps all have a matching theme so being able to turn the third party apps into the same theme looks much better at least to me
I totally agree with the monochrome point which helps in restricting the aimless scrolling of the phone. It’ll take time for vast majority of people to understand it but the vision is really good. 👍
10:12 i noticed this in the laptop comparison video too [Mac vs Windows - Who Wins in 2023?]. either the wrong audio source is being used, or the mic isn't configured properly. binaural audio should sound more directional than that
These videos just get better and better!
Including the Top Tier chip from last year is an incredibly good idea, it will outperform literally any other chip that's not the Top Tier from this year and it saves cost. Flagship chips usually last way longer too!
Snapdragon 855 in my 2019 OnePlus 7 Pro still blazing fast for anything. Processors don't matter anymore. Haven't done for years now. Literally nothing takes advantage of even 4 year old processors.
Should remember 8 gen 1 is bad becoz of heating issues specially in compact phones its battery and overall performance will take hit
@@SiloNova25Exactly, I use a 2017 iPad Pro with an A10X Chip, but it’s still supported and fast.
@@avonberksdale3540 I think that the 8+ Gen1 (that the Nothing 2 uses) is better
@@avonberksdale3540 Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 does not have those issues
The Nothing phone is evolving and has started showing its own identity. I would buy one, maybe when Phone 4 or 5 is released. That's because I don't change phones frequently ; just bought one recently.
Can I just say how well your video is scripted ?!
This is your first video that I’m seeing and while I absolutely love every word that’s gone into the making of this incredibly informative and slightly “sales” oriented video, I would love to see you slow down on the info for the less tech-cuated(tech educated) folks like myself 🙊
Then again, great video. I look forward to more ✨⚡️
The Uber incident was hilarious! Props to you Arun for 3 videos in 3 days, they've all been bangers!
I noticed your attention to detail when talking about the haptics. You added haptic noises when you talked about how some phones have really bad ones. This is why I love your channel
Really impressed how many words you used to describe a "small box" .I can t image you talking about a book ?! It should a life time !!!
Your upload rate is MAD. Love every vid you put out, and I'm not even that big into phones or tech. You're still one of my favs still! Keep on making cool vids Arun

Yo, didn't know you were a pokemon collector! I see some generations and crown zenith cards in there! Hell yeah!
I love your content man keep up the great work
Hopefully this gets to release on my country, been waiting for a 2nd version of Nothing Phone ever since
9:44 the fact that automatic dark mode is a feature now for iPhone users
Great video, as always! I'm holding on to my money for now, so you can tell us later how this phone stacks up against the Pixel 8 😉
I still remember when we used to have rgb colored notification led lights on phones which we used for multiple purposes. This glyh interface is basically a upgrade to that older hardware
Honestly I like the Nothing Phone 2. Feels like a nice take on a smartphone that's been stagnant these days. Just a smidge of personality on top of good hardware. Definitely would like to see what's next on the list.
$1000 phones can't change the fact that $600 is still expensive for mediocre camera and specs.
@@unholydonuts can't expect miracles. Besides unless you enjoy some bloat or ads on your phones, stock Android phones are pretty limited 🤷🏻♂️. It's one reason why I'd go the Nothing Phone over any phone now
@@joelconolly5574 you'll be pleasantly surprised to know that bloat or ads can be removed within five minutes. Tech influencers don't mention this to not offend said companies and continue to receive future sample units.
Nothing phone is a stupid phone
@@Tenchi707 sure great that a stupid phone doesn't have stupid ads like some stupid Chinese phone amirite.
@Mrwhosetheboss I love the subtle that's what she said joke. Great work
It's unlikely but I hope that they add RGB light to the back, because I feel that would allow for so much more usefulness
I am very interested in the nothing phone. I signed up for the beta for the nothing phone 1 and it's pretty damn good, but can tell it was made as a prototype device to get their name out there. The Nothing phone 2 looks like they're on the right track, but I'll wait, because cameras are the a big thing for my in my decision on phones.
Cameras should be ok and frequently improved via updates
@@noodlessoul8356 Try the nothing phone. It takes ok pictures but nothing as good as an iphone, pixel, or samsung. and Yes iphones have proven that great pictures can be taken for years with only a 12mp camera, but mixing good software with good hardware, Samsung and every Chinese big name brand has proven that.
Arun I really love ur videos. Thx for keeping me updated on technology. Id really love if u could make a video talking abt ur fitness transformation and would love an update on it currently
6:00 Arun is the good guy who didn't want to just cancel the Uber and took the ride.
btw you are my favourite youtuber, you do a great job and you should continue to do it.
0:38 yea we saw it dont even try to hide it 😂

Arun uploading as early as possible just to give us the latest tech news is so thoughtful. great vid wish all the best.❤❤❤
0:56 i just have to say that this is perfectionism and not ocd as popular media likes us to think. it’s unrelated but i really needed to get this out
Anytime I watch Arun's Tech Videos I feel elevated in Technology, Well done boss❤❤
Gonna wait for the next iteration. Faced a lot of issues with phone 1. Since the old OnePlus gang is back....may be they're gonna iron out whatever issues still left and next one's gonna knock it out of the park.
Was eagerly waiting for this!
Thank you Arun.

got the nothing 2 recently, best device I ever bought.
.. As for the comparisons - there is no comparable phone with its exact specs of space, ram, chip and battery performance combo - and not just in its price range, but in any range.. This is not mentioning probably the best and most active software updates in the game and the design. Yeah, the glyph is a gimmick but it can be purposed and they will keep adding ways to use it so in no time it will cease being a gimmick.
Wow... You always go the extra length for every of your reviews and they're topnotch

I'm really rooting for Nothing. They've come in with a small team and almost hit bullseye from where I'm seeing it
For the next idea: nothing can put a small circular, or square shape screen near the indicator to show what app is on priority, this may highlight to multiple use of apps that on priority and knowing what app is indicating is a plus. And nothing can ofcourse use their design widget. This would be awesome.
nice review ... where do i get one from in usa?

He really filmed in uber?
Nah, glyph progress for uber doesn't make that sound. He probably set up a glyph timer and pretended it was Uber. The car was probably his friend's or maybe even his.😅

I was gutted to hear about the camera. It's the one thing I was hoping, would have the biggest improvement. Everything else about the Nothing Phone 2 is great.
It has a good sensor and a great chip, it's mostly the software that should be tweaked in later updates, I'll definitely be tracking this phone for the next few months
Yeah Carl Pei saying that phone 2 would keep up with flagships was a pretty aggressive thing to say.
@@chieflingcogive it time with the software updates for the camera it might come close 🤷

This is such game changing tech that the phone users so badly need. And so is Arun's way of describing it. Love both these things.
