Nothing Phone 2 vs Pixel 8 Pro Speed Test - In this episode we take the 2 best vanilla Android phones and see how they perform in comparison! Share your thoughts, picks, and enjoy the video! 🎥😀

[@SjuuTuub]

NP2, Nothing nailed it with NothingOS 2.5.5. Feels sooo smooth and even the camera is improved. NP2 is brilliant imho.

[@jzerocat23]

I left Samsung to try it and I miss very little from my z fold

My biggest issue with my Nothing phone is taking screenshots by accident. I'm not kidding.

[@rhea3234]

Video quality at its finest.🙏😊

[@adimazga]

I don't know why I feel like these speed tests are more relevant lately rather then past years.

[@nickackermanchannel]

maybe because the performance enhancements are being really payed attention to by the companies and these 2 phones specifically have some work to do!

[@BAMTech22]

Weird because my 8 pro performs better than iPhones and any Samsung ultra phones I've used. However, I do use mine every day instead of dragging it out of a drawer for random videos. 😂

[@Shadowzz.]

@@BAMTech22 i doubt a tensor chip is better than the samsung ultra phones you used. Unless it's an older one which doesn't make sense to compare.

[@BAMTech22]

@@Shadowzz. No noticeable difference at all. Plus I don't have to worry about missing so many pictures of my kids because of Samsungs shutter lag that's been a major issue for several years. But yeah man enjoy that cool s pen 😂

Amazing speed test like always. Nick I wanted to ask if you could do op12 vs np2 bc it would be like the battle of the budget flagships

Can you add warcraft rumble on your speed tests? That game takes a long time to load and I am curious if snapdragon makes a difference

You should do a screen brightness comparison on these too

[@petew1432]

Great review, confirms my thoughts on the NP2, its a tempting option hiwever i cant part with the P8pros cameras, interested to see what NP comes up with next

[@jzerocat23]

On a nothing phone 2 now, love the simplicity and really high performance for the cost I paid.

[@vandelayindustries4267]

This is embarrassing for Google. 2 year old chip outperforms latest from Google easily. What a turn off, and im looking these videos to justify myself to go for P8p lol

[@YM_82]

Great compression my friend😊 Nothing phone seems great, but one year past by, only 2 years of software support left...so it's kinda make me think it still worth it at this moment. Maybe Nothing 2a can do the job :)

[@nickackermanchannel]

2 is definitely better than 2a but waiting on the 3! Glad you enjoyed the comparison!

[@Wojteq69]

Wasn't Pixel connected to VPN which slowed its internet speed down?

[@nickackermanchannel]

No that didn’t slow anything down

[@ali.sukhoi35]

VPN makes the phone a little hotter and the performance of the device drops a little, it also affects the ping and internet speed, which affected some of those apps, especially apps like Amazon or Instagram. And the problem is that It was active on the Pixel!

[@L-h-83TdIJL]

Or you just accept the fact that Pixel are suck in this category, horrible temperature management and coolant.

[@akshaysrivastava4304]

womp womp

[@ali.sukhoi35]

@@L-h-83TdIJL This does not change what I said. I just pointed out a logical point that if we want a fair comparison, everything must be the same. I did not under any circumstances say that Tensor Chip is better or worse, although Snap Dragon is definitely better in temperature management! Also, if VPN was active on Nothing Phone, I would have said the same thing! I am not a fanboy of a particular phone like some people. Between these two, both phones are respectable!

[@itsme_shibintmz]

Idk if this is relevant, but for pixel I see VPN is connected which may affect loading time of apps content. @nick, kindly check and let us know.

[@nickackermanchannel]

I tested this prior to the test and it made zero difference whatsoever

[@itsme_shibintmz]

@@nickackermanchannel okay :)

Wow, I can see how Pixel stutters in scrolling. That's pity to be honest. I had Pixel 8 pro, and was disappointed because of that after Pixel 6. Now I'm just using Galaxy S24u.

[@Marik883]

Can we see a S24 PLUS VS A55 comparison video.

[@nickackermanchannel]

Maybe, will consider it

[@fluffy.0_0.]

The tensor chip is no doubt a really bad chip, the cellular reception is unstable at best (compared to other DSP's). The battery drain due to the same is significantly higher on mobile data (just keeping the mobile data on) while climbing 40 C and higher. I don't even want to talk about the lack of performance and bugs that you get for free of cost with Google (who's apparently develops android OS!) PS. used to be a pixel 7 owner (which died in 3 months of use for a stupid quality control issue - Manufacturer side) and now own a nothing phone 2 for more than 7-8 months, which has far fewer bugs, is more stable and efficient.

[@Froggy4Eyez]

idk why.. but this comparison felt more baised towards the pixel.. evn though the np2 beat it in almost evry aspect. also, shouldve done a newer camera comparison, since this update brings Ultra XDR to the np2

[@INTREPIDE3173]

Hey Nick been following you since 2018 days …. Recently i got 15 plus nd my previous device got screen burn so im little bit worried about burn in on iPhone 15 plus as i want to kept this for long term… can u please suggest me how to prevent screen burn nd what rules should i follow ❤ do reply please

[@nickackermanchannel]

Hello ! Apple is one of the better phones that don't suffer this issue too much, however best way is to vary your screens as in don't leave the same wallpaper all the time, don't stay on one screen all the time, change your brightness levels from time to time, and avoid having the auto lock on for longer than 1-2 minutes.

[@wheely4405]

Do not display the same content for too much time in high brightness and it Will be ok but if the phone itself doesn't have pixel shift software.. Then the icons of the task bar on top part of the display and the navigation bar may cause a burn in. Most phones do have that includimg iphones and Samsungs

[@Testimony201]

@@wheely4405something like this happened to my current iPhone XS.

[@INTREPIDE3173]

@@wheely4405 Do u know any pixel change software actually available on iPhone display?

[@wheely4405]

@INTREPIDE3173 no but I think iphones use such software or it would be like Samsung where Samsung forgot to use that software on one ui 5 and they didn't fix it until the end of 5.1 where many people started to complain.. And they fixed it on one ui 6. If iphones had such issue we probably would know just like we did with Samsung.. Or at least I would know because Im searching a lot

[@prod_krisztian]

Only thing I miss is samsung dex. Otherwise I'm very happy with my NP 2

[@alwinjohn6035]

Accidental screenshot is so annoying in Nothing phone (2) ... Aaahhh 😂

[@andreinaf]

Why does the pixel look soo much laggy in the video, is it a different refresh rate or something, it just looks a lot choppier, just in menus. or when swiping, games look the same

[@kostasrompokas]

nope it truly is like this currently...google says they fixed the shutters on Android 15 but who knows how' that will turn up. Hopefully they fix it

if you guys see carefully at changing the video speed at 0.25x you'll notice that he is slightly pressing the app button first on the nothing phone clearly on many apps , bro doesn't even compare farely and keeps vpn on on the pixel which slows the internet connectivity and makes it use more processor , your comaprison is clearly biased , don't fall for this blud guys.
