Nothing Phone 2 Unboxing & Full Tour | Serious Upgrade!

Unboxing the Nothing Phone 2, an upgraded smartphone boasting fresh camera hardware and boosted specs vs the original handset. However, the Nothing Phone 2 will also cost you more in the UK, starting from £579 - and here's a full tour ahead of my review, showing off those fresh features.
This 2023 model isn't just more expensive, it's also bigger at 6.7-inches, with a redesigned Glyph lighting rig. In Nothing OS 2.0 you'll find lots of new tools to make use of the disco back, plus a fresh new monotone setup. The Nothing Phone 2 is fun to use, and you can see more on the software in my tips and tricks guide.
That camera now rocks an IMX890 sensor, same as the OnePlus Nord 3, with improved HDR abilities and boosted video recording. Gamers will appreciate the extra grunt too, courtesy of the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1. A chipset we've known would be stuffed inside of the Nothing Phone 2 for some time now.
My review will reveal more on that smartphone's performance as well as the battery life and camera action. That's coming on Thursday, but for now here's a full hands-on with this impressive mobile, certainly one of the more unique smartphones of 2023. And come back for a proper Nothing Phone 2 vs Phone 1 comparison, where we'll dissect that camera tech, gaming chops and more!

There's no need to watch it either, it's like 70% nonsense.

[@painboy66]

​@@iamshadeslayerit's a vlog style launch bro😂

[@iamshadeslayer]

@@painboy66 it's all nonsense, man. The phone's dead on arrival for most people already because of the pricing. One Plus started its decline when they started caring more about branding and looking hip than what their userbase wanted. It didn't take long for Nothing to follow OnePlus' footsteps.

[@solvdev]

Just saying man, as a subscriber since 30k I am SO HAPPY you’re nearly at a mil- please continue your excellent videos ! ;)))

[@imwatchingyou6113]

Y 🤔

[@ionmyke]

Both look awesome, but I went with white, it just looks more futuristic to me. It's been awhile since I treated myself to a nice phone, I'm excited!

[@imwatchingyou6113]

And short 😂😮

[@maipantoon7823]

I bought the white as well. It reminds me of the early Iphone colours, which I really used to like. In general, I think the Nothing Phones are very influenced by early Iphone designs, in fact

[@Hikari_to_Yuri]

I just love the look of the white model. The way the black camera modules contrast with the white back is more beautiful for me.

[@UnitedHornet]

Same I fell in love with the 1st white nothing phone but kept my S9+ until today, ordered that perfect white color for me personally

[@pongoni7586]

just came from jerryrigeverything channel and i must say boy that phone is one durable Brick! it took many seconds before the display showed burn marks and it did not even break in the bend test! not a trace of warping

[@salimbinyussup9351]

Great unboxing tech spurt😀

[@helderlucas6604]

Your wallpaper choice always get me stunned, damn good!!!

[@jamesrhodes3130]

Looks decent, defo feeling the dark grey version. 👌🏻

I was waiting for ur video man ❤

[@usmanabdulkadir3334]

Amazing unboxing keep it up as always Sir

[@DrPM_1]

It's always nice watching your reviews , see you again after the embargo lifts up .

[@pigsydney]

I love it,it is hard to decide which one to buy,Nothing has an octopus in the website video,so i am sold.

[@normanmodiri4316]

Love your reviews, regardless the phone.

[@kayfert]

Great review with that usual humour! It's nice to get a full tour even though I was already sold lol. What's that anime at the 7:12 mark?

[@heatblast6]

You just earned a sub mr.spurt... Not too shabby... Keep up the shenanigans 😁

[@davidbezzant9820]

Looks like a bloody awesome phone spurt! I'd say the 12+256GB set up will be a big seller at 629 here in the UK! Thats certainly a very tempting price for such good hardware!

[@thealien_ali3382]

I just got the 512gb boo boo

[@allanmark922]

the dark gray model definitely looks better

[@sjstu]

I like it. It's also great to see a phone tech company based in the UK too.

[@DarkDetectiveLight]

i actually love that homescreen!

[@aliettienne2907]

One thing that stands out here is the option to have stock Android and Nothing phone customize version of Android OS. I'll love to own a phone that provides multiple options of the Android OS. Now that's Awesome!

[@IamJay02]

I miss when OnePlus was known for their enhanced stock android experience.

[@BigBenlolz]

Love the early oneplus-esque packaging, still got my OPO box it looks so sleek

[@PavanKumar-ft5hi]

OnePlus 1 was so good

[@joyceosei4566]

Went for the white 256 version. Expecting it to arrive tomorrow ❤

Looking forward to the comparison between 1 and 2. Thanks Uncle Spurt

[@johnwhitehead238]

Pretty cool phone from Carl! Out of my price range since I'm limiting myself to $400 on my next phone.

[@inshallah4777]

Worth the wait

[@SayneTV]

Man i really like your little jokes coming out of nowhere :D

[@markmclean]

Hi great reviews as always where can I get the wallpaper you use cheers 😊

[@commntatorx9062]

No longer a premium midrange phone. Now a budget flagship. Both very good in either category.

[@jeprildumadag6679]

I'd love to get one for myself. This is superb for me tbh

[@lucascmv]

Even after watching this video 7 months later, ive still stayed with my nothing phone 1 just the size alone of the phone 1 wins me wish they had made the 2a the same size as phone 1

[@sudevdev1603]

Those wallpapers was awsome👌👌👌

[@chimpantv]

bought the 1 end of last year ill probably wait for the 3

[@dagbontech9508]

I love your intro ❤

[@chrisrodgers49]

I have the NP1 as my work phone. I like that they centered the front facing camera but I'm gonna stick with the S23 as my main phone now. I'm tired of using bigger devices.

[@SubhobrataSarkar]

Just bought nothing phone 1 last month. Will buy this next year after it gets all the updates for bug fixes

[@TechJamo]

Is that Man like Ben with all that fooood at 10:48 😂😂😂😂

[@thienbinh3]

So let's see, with $599: + Snap 8 Plus Gen 1 + The 120Hz LTPO 2.0 screen and 1600 nits + The best design with new light features Honestly, It's a good deal.

[@Oeugh]

its 599 there? here the 128 gb version costs 679

[@heyyyyo]

​@@Oeughthere isn't a 128gigs so ur getting 256 there and for even that price is still pretty good

Hey bro, Please share a link to the wallpaper which you applied on the phone. BTW very informative video 👌

[@aiaito5573]

Guess I'll get this a year after the release date. My main phone right now is the Phone 1, I'd like to make a collection of Nothing, feels nice

[@MilitaryRaiden]

I'm all in for the white, regrets for not choosing wisely when I picked up my Nothing Phone (1)

[@liamdaniel8142]

In the display and audio section What's the name of that animation playing in the beginning of the video ? It looks cool !

[@babusfrik2159]

I can't see this having an equal or better camera than the Pixel 7. I do love the design though.

[@doherpa]

Love this phone so far.

[@zach49490]

Hi, Spurt! I've just bought this from Argos for £549 as it's got £80 at the minute (waiting on delivery). This is to upgrade from my Oppo Find x2 Pro which I had bought after watching your video on it! Oppo still going strong... Just not the batteries 😅

[@iPhonenaire]

I'm definitely getting this one😊..... theoretically 😅

[@SggQpwpqpq-vq3ds]

I like and watch uncle spurt because he's the only one review phones as a normal human and understanding how to review phone for daily users. not like other big you tubers that bla bla and put phone on drawer

[@Jeffvs]

Love the phone but it is to big for me. I prefer 6.1 over 6.7inch.

[@Dinkalinsky]

Where do you get your awesome wallpapers from?

[@lRlMlGl]

Looks like Uncle Spurt got to it first out of all of my subscriptions

[@WHISTLEBOI1992]

[@BartPiasek]

watching on NP2- Dark Grey. Awesome device with A14already.

[@tomasm1233]

What theme do you use? I would love to have something similar like yours :)

I want a wallpaper collection from this guy.

[@DRC0910]

I love everything about the phone 2 but im kinda sad about the IP rating, but at the same time cant really expect a high mid tear phone to have it all

[@javochaser1975]

Good morning Chris. Does the Nothing phone 2 come with Dual View Video?

[@SauliusJ29]

I have one week ago buy yed Nothing Phone 2 Gray 12x256 and i used For the opening this box Jerryrigevrifing knife that helps a lot to not destroy that nice box 😊

[@The_Spooky_Boi]

Chris yk that we all know about the embargo please provide us the full actual review in a week or whenever, with what the phone has actually improved on and what the phones sustanied performance is and most importantly CONS are.

[@ucasryan]

5:28 saw this on asus and loved it!! samsung, xiaomi,honor...whatch out.

[@chandraprabhaghosh1133]

Make a video of comparison with the pixel 7 pro. I'm confused between the two. Camera is a main priority so, please compare the two cameras

[@tjey379]

Ha ha ha , that stiff scotch, hey what do you do with the extra? I agree with you that the design at the back does look better in grey.

[@murtazachaudhary3339]

Nice video

[@Vrakk3]

How are the haptics? Are they good as OnePlus 11r?

[@rashidhumine]

Does it have One Handed Mode and Battery Care within the software? I'd like the phone to stop charging at 90%

[@ramansharif2765]

probably cuz it's the same colour as my soul 😂 Your humour gets me every time 😂

[@daniellovick2329]

When is it out in the uk?

[@suthtokcraew1227]

are the stereo speakers is balanced on top and bottom? or the bottom is abit louder?

[@tambulee]

Looks like solid devices to me

[@michaelslocombe9112]

Not long got the nothing phone 1 I'll wait maybe next year wan the nothing phone 3 comes out I think

[@Greatt12]

Man i love this guy.. please what is the first name of the anime u showed. The one that a girl threw something on a giant.

[@teddymeowuk]

Well, well, well. After watching the keynote earlier, and then this video, I think I made a good decision in holding fire replacing my Z Flip 4 with a Pixel 7.

[@beingbeckham]

Beautiful phone

[@stevensanger]

Definitely tempted but is it better than the pixel phone... Looking forward to the full review on Thursday

[@mawinmulawin7580]

just sold my np1 to get pixel 7, nag camera of pixel 7 still better than np2 I say

[@TheHpsauce37]

Oh dear the super toastie sd1!

[@MilitaryRaiden]

Don't know if it'll upgrade to the 2, I'll wait and see the reviews first, check the Nothing OS 2.0 on my (1) and act accordingly. As a rule though, I rarely spend over €700 for a phone, and definitely not for an Android phone. Stepped off the iPhone plantation because of its ludicrous pricing anyway. Still, it's half the price of many flagships so steep but not extortionate.

[@Greatt12]

I love your reviews. Tho I just watched Jerryrigeverything first. Unto mkbhd 😂, I will be back on Thursday

[@richards8626]

Please share with me the source of those wallapers, they're nice ;)

[@reymarortega7388]

I think better color for me is the dark grey..easy to see the glyph shananigan...

[@karthickraja2141]

Chris hemsworth takes cover behind the ladder 🪜 😂

[@writetermpapers]

Can you compare the cameras' of Nothing 2, Pixel 7a, and iPhone 14 base model

[@karanurao]

Wondering if I should go with pixel 7 or nothing p2 now. Price point is quite same.

[@Frankie_Freedom]

Was that Mr. Finney sitting on the stairs?

[@Nite-owl]

Had relatively high hopes for this but have to say I'm a bit disappointed. Hiked up the price by almost £180 and it still only has an IP 54 rating and last years flagship chip inside. The only real incentive is if you simply must have the glyph experience, but even that comes with the caveat of not being able to put a decent case on it, unless it's clear backed. For my own perspective, the glyphs just seem to be trying to solve an issue that doesn't exist. I can find out when my take away is about to be delivered from the front of the screen. Sorry, but for the price increase it simply doesn't offer enough of an improvement IMO. Pixel 7a seems the logical choice if you can live without the totally unnecessary glyph action.

[@mbangroo]

you said everything what I wanted to say.

[@burebista2152]

Best comment !

[@imwatchingyou6113]

Correct!👍

[@zas_uf]

An IP 68 rating and and the latest qualcomm chip would increase the price even further, so I don’t know what you’re on about. Even if it’s last year’s chip, it’s still way AHEAD of any 7 or 6 series chip or even a mediatek processor that has been used before.

[@Nite-owl]

@@zas_uf Exactly how far ahead of Googles Tensor 2 chip is the 8 gen1 though? From my first inspection it seems only slightly more powerful, yet the Google 7a can be bought for around £150 less and is IP 67. Not fully waterproof, but better than 54 ! It also has the best camera software in the game, and bone stock Android. My gripe isn't necessarily just the ip rating or the chip alone, it's the complete package including relative cost. If you think it's fair, good for you 🙂, I however feel it's just a tad overpriced for what it brings to the table, especially as there are multiple other phones using the 8 gen 1 chip for sub £500, even sub £450 in some cases, if you feel the chip difference matters so much. IMO, they are charging crazy money for a phone who's main selling point is the Glyph ability, which IMO is just not useful enough to justify the price.

[@viktorstorelv]

I want this phone, in a smaller version!

[@143Pankit]

Was really looking forward to it releasing in North America but very disappointed with the price here in Canada. Starts at CAD 929 for 8/128 all the way to CAD 1099 for 12/512 That’s around OnePlus 11 and Pixel 7 Pro. Oh well, maybe the next release.

[@ULarry2007]

Pep Guardiola really shifted careers after finishing the season

[@L.A.Tex_Norway]

Normally I prefer white phones. Here I definitely like the dark grey colour.

[@vix1211]

Has telephoto lens? IP 68 rating ,? screen resolution is more the 1080?

I am a big fan of you from India

[@dkravenprince2910]
