Quick correction: I accidentally said that the Phone 2a has the same main camera sensor as the Nothing Phone 2 but while it has the same specs on paper (size, aputure, pixels, etc.) it is actually a Samsung sensor not the Sony IMX sensor from the Phone 2. Sorry for the confusion!
Actually afaik it's a slightly larger sensor - 1/1.5" instead of 1/1.56" - but Nothing says 1/1.56" in order to not cannibalise the sales of the regular Phone (2)
Interested to know what you would opt for if looking for best phone for photography for this sort of £300-£400 budget?
@@s1dew1nd3r4 Pixel 7 if you can find one for that much. 7a otherwise.
@@MethMonkey-yb9mr currently weighing up the honor magic 4 pro, oppo reno 10 pro or the one plus nord 3.
Finally, a reviewer who knows how to set the Nothing Icon Pack.
Besides the fact that we have a good all around budget phone in the US, I am happy to see Mediatek providing some serious competition to Qualcomm's snapdragon. They are waaaay too comfortable at the lower end. Props to mediatek and OEM's like Nothing for bringing it!
I have been using this device since release and have no gripes at all. It's gotten 4 updates which have made it better, and the battery is wonderful. Good job to the Nothing Team for creating amazing products.
thats why i like new companies got a phone 2a they are so much focused on community rather than big companies forcing ads and bloatware and not giving fixes even after 1 year
Been using this phone for 2 month. Got 4 updates. Working just fine.
Nah the camera is slow
Yeah my brother bought it the camera app is laggy as hell@@p.a.2712
@@p.a.2712 yeah if you compared to the flagships. Otherwise for the price, it is more than enough.
@@Rock7iM my cheaper android phone's camera is faster. But hope that nothing will address this issue.
@@p.a.2712 it's slow because it take more photos and combine while turning hdr on.. turn off hdr and take photos for quick ones
Love your real world tests, would love some more vlogging in general as well! : )
I’ve had the Nothing 2A in white for just over a month. I think that the white looks much better than the black. Despite the cameras being ok rather than great, I think it’s the best android phone for under £500let alone for under £350.
By far the most interesting and original tech reviews.
Thank you!
10:16 I've had my Pixel 6 Pro for nearly 12 months now, and like you, I take my phone off the charging Pad in the morning, and don't charge it until I get back into bed. So, the Nothing Phone 2A isn't the only battery champ.
I always love the sightseeing parts of your real world camera tests. Keep up the great work.
Got the Nothing phone 2a a few days ago after my zfold3 crashed badly for the 3rd time in 2 weeks and the crease started showing small cracks…. What a seriously good phone the Nothing 2a is for the price. I’m really happy with it.
I came from the S24 Ultra to using this phone. I love it. Aesthetically it's the best looking phone at the moment, the battery life is phenomenal I've never managed to kill it in one day, it doesn't get hot even after an extended period of heavy gaming it runs games like a champ too, the software experience is just chef's kiss, best Android skin IMO. One downside is that the camera is just meh, usable (I'm used to flagship camera performance)
I love this phone!!
what made you shift from s24 ultra to nothing phone 2a
@@relex3543 the combination of hardware and software design. I have a soft spot for overall software experience
@@fizziefizzer i agree with you, i am rocking the phone 2
@@relex3543 bet it feels a lot smoother but I like the design of the 2a better, it's unlike anything on the market right now, iconic
@@fizziefizzer true
idk, i just love it when he says "coffee, check".
😂☕✅ thank you!
@@TheUnlockrI usually make a point of having coffee before watching your videos because of it. 😂😂😂
The photos and videos look good to me. Excited to get mine. Hoping it arrives soon. It's sold out from where I am.
Nothing is slowly but surely becoming the new OnePlus.
What is that even mean
Not at all. I think it’s totally its own thing. The one plus was always an almost flagship phone with mid spec price.
The selling point for nothing is mostly design and vibe. This thing seems mid spec phone at mid spec price. Phone chips have out grown regular phone needs so mid spec chips work a lot better now then when one plus came out.
Which is fine though. If I was an android user I would just get a new phone every 6 months because of all the different looks and form factors, and these mid range phones are perfect for this.
@@sloppynyuszi every 6 months.. nah not everyone is as rich or financially stable as you are... Minimally, 2 years. But i do agree that eventho nothing is focussing on design as oppose to oneplus back then but they are slowly or eventually will increase their price for mid or flagship devices just like oneplus even when carl pei was oneplus CEO
Amazing video as always, thanks for the 2a review! 😊
Thank you and thank you for watching it even though it was later than others did theirs 🙏
I genuinely appreciate the concept of your videos. Please continue creating such content, my coffee enthusiast friend. With warm regards!
Thank you so much!
Watching on my NOTHING phone 2 a ❤
Overall, a good budget phone!❤
Another cracking real world test video 👌 love them and always watch a real world test video before a purchase 😎 Brilliant
Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed it!
@@TheUnlockrA curious question: Are there people over eighty years of age who are very elderly people who own modern smart phones???
Dude I use Nothing 2a and SE 2nd gen too.
The 2a is way brighter than the SE. Yes, broken English but i expressed myself 😂
I have both Nothing phones , 2a and 2 , really like the soft ware on Nothing phones, better than the pixel, the camera on 2a is not as good as the 2 , but for $ 350 you can't complain much it's adequate. The images are not as sharp , and the colors are kind of dull, , but the 2 a feels good in the hand , very light to carry. Other than cameras , you can't tell much difference in the two phones. Both phones perform well , and battery is bigger on the 2a. Can't go wrong with either one.
I have 2a but you can't say that software is better than pixel, Google has so many ai features like perfect transcription etc.
Software Performance is way better than pixel stock experience. I'm not including the AI features but I see buttery smooth performance nothing phones dotted font is perfect. Hope nothing brings their own native apps like call, gallery, calculator, file manager in the coming Android updates gradually
I think it's a good deal since it's compared with higher price phones and looks like they are carrying about the updates do far
Is there a group selfie mode on nothing 2a camera? That we see generally as 0.8x or 0.6x
Something I really noticed with the camera on the phone 2a is that it overexpose the picture a lot
Would be nice if you can do a real world test of the new iPads, yeah? Lets go
The updates have made it so much better!
Mine was on the latest updates when filming 👍
Literally I don't know why this channel has not reached a million followers yet
I like the boutique feel
🥹🙏
🙏
Hi, did you notice any image retention?
Now this is s good review
🙏
the ultrawide video and photo quality is sub par
I think Nothing 2a is a better buy than Google 8a.
Hows battery? How much does it last? Also do you have fast charging? This or the nord 3?
nothing phone 2a user here. i can proudly say my phone last 2 days as my daily drive. trust me, battery is so optiimized
Camera sensor Samsung JN9 main in 2a ?
Does ois work on video recording or not
The phone 2's cameras seem to have come a long way
another coffee check comment...
[but mate, with me living in a dictatorship (and depression which it comes with, your "another day in life" videos is kinda a breath of fresh air. a lot of heart emojis from Iran❤]
Thank you so much for that and hope you're well 🙏
delicious food seing!!!🎉
Thank you for watching!
Beautiful system UI, but I don't like (as TOC pleasing as they are) these same looking Monet / Nothing icons. Makes the apps way harder to differentiate, specially without using apps titles. I prefer to use the regular colorful icons without the titles (I'm a visual person I guess).
I think the idea behind the monotone is to encourage people to live in the moment instead of jumping from one app to another. That's mentioned in one of the Carl's reaction video.
@lewislouise I know the script, but in fact is form over use. My experience is that difficult my life, quite a lot. And to stay in that discourse, when you need to use the phone, it takes extra longer time finding the app through the similar icons, so nope, its putting me away of life and of the moment too, and it's just marketing.
¿Nothing Phone 2A or Samsung A55? Thx :)
Phone has better camera compared to 2a i think but at this price point just good 👍
Hmm... developer registration... They are trying out the software on you and they are probably gathering function data from the phone under the radar because after all... you registered as a developer.
I love that donut shop. So retro and those donuts looks delicious
So good and so cheap
Visiting affordable and tasty options was a cool and clever concept for the vid. Great content as usual 💯
Thank you! I have a stomach ache but was fun to make 😂
Do you drink coffee all day or do you choose a tea later in the day, also what brand bike do you ride?
I usually drink coffee into the early afternoon and then switch to wine or beer 😂 and that bike in the video is a Super73
Polish food the best 😜
Idc about anything just review Sony 1vi and 10vi your way please 😊
Been iPhone user past decade, got this and feels good so far.
A curious question: Are there people over eighty years of age who are very elderly people who own modern smart phones??!
@TheUnlockr im starting to think you and mrmobile dont own cars
We live in NYC. We don't own cars.
nice

Loving the Phone, but unfortunately camera is bad...
Hi Brother i still have my Nothing Phone 1 White 12x256 and i love him so much and i have Nothing Phone 2 Gray 12x256 and i love him too i am still very happy with my bouth Nothings but sadly i have small CZcams channel i love film Speakers sadly phone 2 microphones are not so good for the sample higher than 50 volume they records sound like under mattress so i must take my iPhone 13 pro max and film that video he records sound perfect and video stability is on another level i know iPhone cost much more and he can doo anything so my thinking still Nothing Phones could be a lot better
FINALYYY
Thank you for coming to watch even if it's a bit delayed!
Next time I'm up that way will let you know and we can hit up Karczma for some pierogies 💯 Great video!
Thank you!
