Nothing Phone (2a): This is definitely something!

There's Nothing really wrong I can find about this new, affordable smartphone -- except that it isn't available in more places. But that doesn't keep the Nothing Phone (2a) from being a very exciting release from a company that is all about style, inside and out. Let's see how the Nothing Phone (2a) performs over some proper days of work and play -- and see why I think this might be one of my favorite phones of the year already.

Like for the Initial D cafe, comment what your favorite part of the Nothing Phone (2a) is!

I am simple. I see joshua vergara, I click

[@slomojo98]

Agreed, with NOTHING. 😂

[@soumikpal8631]

Simple too

😅😅😂 this made me subscribe 😂 Good one. Love his chill style video too.. I think it's my first time seeing his content

[@soumikpal8631]

@@aijunky first time? Huhh newbie..i only came out of the womb because our man josh was there. Terrible joke sorry

Fellow 2A user here. I am loving it so far and have "Nothing" but great things to say about it. One thing I wish that Nothing did implement in their mobile phones is having the glyph lights go off when your alarm clock is ringing, and have it with the backside up.

[@zzzleep]

"don't spill the water" comes from the main char of Initial D driving his 86 with a cup of water in the cup holder. He had to drive with that cup of water full and he couldn't spill the water

[@TJKoopa3018]

To answer the Tea time question: I use mellow tracks from video games as a means of unwinding. Ambiance/environmental tracks that can be a bit more serene. It’s hard to unplug every now and again, feeling like you always have to be on. But it’s nice to just take a breather even for a short while.

[@iPostrandom87]

One of the best budget allrounder phone 💪🔥

[@ferrydaddy]

As always, a great review, Josh!

[@iAfroTech]

Still using my Nothing Phone(1), with last Nothing update...i really enjoy this phone. Using a SD778G+ was really smart. I don't use Glyphs but Nothing OS, in general, is great.

[@ajaydnade]

simply explained everything, thank you for review

[@agoogleuser2369]

The problem is the lack of 5G compatibility particularly on Verizon. If you have T-Mobile this is a killer phone.

[@joshuarich4714]

No go on ATT as well but T-Mobile is good to go !

[@amoleragon]

Enjoy your content Joshua. Love nothing products. I hope you keep covering them well. Cheers.

[@kindofanmol]

Wish they sent you the white unit. Looks much, MUCH better.

[@jamesklusener]

yayyyyy, these videos make me so happy

[@dastard12]

Just spent like 30 minutes trying to find your page again. Someone who I came back to on a whim one day when I was looking for a new phone. Someone I watched from 7-8 years ago on KZbin when I was deep into tech and i found a channel that takes tech down to earth. Genuinely warms my heart to see the path you've taken. Thanks for all your work, and all your mindfulness Jashua.

[@Jimxb]

I'm surprised you made a long video showing us nothing... Very interesting. Lol. Anywho, I'm glad Nothing released this phone. Such a good bang for your buck. A very good looking phone with good software and a decent-ish camera at that low price point. Love it. I dig the black color, but think I would prefer the white one.

[@hexagonal707]

Kernel source released for phone 2a. Let's gooooo.. that too a mediatek device. A big win. Custom roms here we come.

[@ShriRam_P1_Dalal]

Great video..!! Very enjoyable

[@shiroanimationxoxo]

Just watched The Rock entrance and to see here as well. Damn! Your video got me to grab the phone ✌🏼

[@shawnvegavelez121]

The Phone 2a looks great, this is a winner. Thank you Nothing for making devices fun again. Nothinh just needs to officially be released in the US. I love the entire package. Nothing isn't bombarding connsumets with too much unnecessary things. What you get is what you need and what works. I hope we treated you well here in Louisville.

[@ferrydaddy]

You said what I want to see in my next phone. (13:00 mins timeline). [Typing this on my S24U].

[@nikkeipvck8529]

Love this phone

[@byond_limit8122]

Can you please make a detailed review of OnePlus Nord CE 4

[@riccomori5035]

7hrs sot this is my next phone

[@HShango]

Nothing phone (2a) is nice, but i really find it to be super overhyped product or products in the tech space.

[@brando3424]

tea time answer for me: throughout the day, i like to take an incremental break by throwing on Lofi Girl's livestreams and rest my eyes for a few minutes. It's a nice break from life and my phone! if i need a break at night from overthinking, i like to stargaze and play some music from Interstellar or Man of Steel while I look for constellations! Definitely decompressing to say the least!

[@kurtandrew9208]

Daaang looking at your front cam vlogging shots, I must say, Nothing gives everything for this price range. Like you'd mistaken the camera quality to an iPhone if you remove the label that this is a front facing camera of a midrange phone of Nothing. What a killer! 🎉

[@SAKE42able]

Good Camera

[@Ferrarilover458]

Long time no see 💔

[@aubinbaldonado]

3:36 Which watch you rocking?

[@hellokirk]

Pretty sure it's the OnePlus Watch 2 👍

[@blackhawk69100]

Ive bought all of Nothings products apart from ear stick and neckband pro. I absolutely love what ive got, apart from the watch. It sucks really bad. To say they get it so right with 2/2a and all the audio buds is crazy when you compare it to the watch. I get that its cheap, but its just plain bad. I say this because the phone 2a and the CMF buds which are the cheapest offerings in their categories are fantastic. But then you have the watch that really feels unfinished, especially with its companion app. But the phone 2a really does shine. Its just plain simple awesome for the money. The watch pro on the other hand....... Maybe not so much!

[@achtungjamie]

Can you turn off the nothing theme completely?

[@joshuarich4714]

Yes

[@bjriag]

Doing well here. I agree with another commenter 5G on Verizon is an issue

[@ferrydaddy]

Did you notice any stuttering while using the phone?

[@joshuarich4714]

Not so much after the latest update. Also turn off the Ram Booster

[@Kalimatullah_Yoh1-1.14]

is mediatek chip in this phone good? any lag?

[@shubhamkakhandaki]

I've been using it for two months. There are no lags. Not even stutters in daily usage.

[@michaelcorcoran8768]

I wonder how many years it will take for people to stop using puns.

[@Techfanatic73]

Great review. Crappy phone

My rule of thumb is... No pay more than USD 399 in a cell phone and not pay more than USD 1499 in laptops, more is breaking the price/features ratio.

[@jacksonpeter9628]

That's on point buddy..

[@sibeyon]

That ain't something, it's “Nothing”

[@shawncypret6838]

I think they could go down to 300

[@opposedscroll7596]

at this price point, the combination of specs and character are pushing up against the absolute limits.

[@MaxAndersonn]

I’m not first

[@DNGR369]

An Android shaped like an iPhone? It's like fake meat for Vegetarians, just why?..

[@andingatacho9262]

Shite phone

[@chrissmith2963]

It's not something if it's not in the States. Very frustrating! And, no, I'm not going to jump through developer hoops to get one. Just about done hoping Nothing shows some love here 🫤 ps 8-bit sounds ROCK. Surprised that's not the default for this line, esp with code names like Pac-Man & Tetris.
