Nothing Phone (2a): 72 Hour Review...

[@NazzarenoGiannelliCG]

Got the 2a on Monday and I am in love with this phone

[@AlvaroUrielPerezMartinez]

How does the camera works in social media?

[@NazzarenoGiannelliCG]

@@AlvaroUrielPerezMartinez cameras are the least impressive feature of the phone, but on that front they are updating the software constantly in order to make it better. It's a decent camera for everyday usage, but don't expect flagship results.

[@Dezron]

do u game with it?

[@NazzarenoGiannelliCG]

@@Dezron I don't. I usually play only on pc.

[@romano_reese]

I'm waiting this on my nothing phone 2a I just got like 4 hours ago. I friggin love it so far

[@eando97]

Solid video! Love to see you giving it a go. So often I see iPhone users assuming Android is ugly, buggy, and clunky when they have no experience with or actual knowledge of it. Nothing and Pixel phones are great showcases that that’s not the case at all. Considering how inexpensive the 2a is, it’s a great choice (though I do recommend trying the Phone(2), Pixel 8, and/or S24 for a more flagship experience if you’re still curious about Android) Cheers!

[@registeredblindgamer4350]

I have had my Nothing Phone 2a since 1 day before launch because I pre-ordered it and I have been incredibly happy. It's an amazing device. This has easily been the best content on the 2a I have seen. Awesome stuff!!

[@Joonpathy]

how is the camera in your opinion

[@registeredblindgamer4350]

@@Joonpathy it's pretty good. Not the best for the price, but also not the worst. Compared to base model iPhones it isn't really that much worse. Other budget android devices like the A55 trade blows. So it's all down to optimisation and the camera keeps getting better with each update literally. I like the device because it's a good all round device that has a good user experience.

[@VinnyUnion]

​@@Joonpathy it's surprisingly useful. Alongside the gylph. Put that thing down (flip to glyph) and that lighting becomes hella useful and the timer as well in the kitchen. For it to lack expandable storage and headphone Jack, it's surprisingly useful as a tool. The plastic frame and back feels great. In my opinion better than cold or hot aluminum frame and glass. I've had flagship since nearly forever and I might be just sick of it but I find plastic materials significantly more comfortable to hold since it's a soft touch with consistent temperatures on the surface.

[@simonrockstream]

Absolutely FANTASTIC video! Probably the best video on this phone I've seen! Well done! Loved the pacing, hearing your thoughts and honestly everything about this was great!

[@smarthomesounds]

Glad you enjoyed it! 😊

[@deepakkumarjha2746]

Interested in buying Nothing 2a? Then read till end. I have used iPhone SE, 6s and Samsung M51 in the past. So, for apple everything was good except battery and also it's price is too high. Samsung battery was good but being an iOS user you won't be comfortable using Samsung boring UI. Now I moved to Nothing 2a and I must say, it is much more than what is there on paper. It's an experience which you will only have once you have this beauty in hand. 2a is only for professional users who want clean OS, butter smooth performance and good battery. Camera is not the best in this segment and it is not gaming phone. This phone 2a has it own audience who will appreciate what it tries to offer at this price. Nothing 2a is no nonsense phone.

[@AlvaroUrielPerezMartinez]

I’ve an IPhone 8, planning to buy Nothing 2a, should I?, does it ever overheats?

[@romano_reese]

i have the nothing phone 2a and and i say i onley buy it because if you open it your are feeling it

[@intheair1987]

Nothing os is the only Android os that is aesthetically comparable to iOS. I was a long term iphone user till last year. Couldn't bring myself to spend all that money on a practically identical "new" iphone. Tried Samsung and Xiaomi, ugly as hell UI even with their theme stores that often lack complete icon support. Gave android one last try with nothing 2a. Realized that nothing os is the thing that android has been lacking. Surprised at how easy it is for any company to be the next Apple if they put more effort on the UI. Would probably upgrade to flagship nothing phone for the camera. Maybe never iphones anymore. Iphone is really boring now.

[@techports4842]

​@@AlvaroUrielPerezMartinezTyping from my Nothing 2a, it rarely heats up, only after charging there is some heat. Otherwise battery life and charging speed really efficient and handy.

[@abdulharis9556]

@@techports4842 how much SOT you got?

[@intheair1987]

Perfectly demonstrated that a good beautiful phone does not need to be expensive.

[@devanshapril]

I have officially shifted from 2 phones to get to the 2a. The 1st one would be S24 in January 2024 from S23. 2nd one was OnePlus 12 in April 2024 and just yesterday to the 2a. I must say I am loving the Design Language of Nothing OS which is seriously smooth. Relatively, Samsung is yet to work on their animations and other technical glitches than launching phones literally every 3 months. With OnePlus, I understand the gripe Carl Peid must have felt. Honestly, I agree with Mr Peid. Mind you, He brought up OnePlus brand to its glory today. OnePlus is still gimmicky to me in practical use, its just an OPPO trying to mask as OnePlus. I am happy with my choice with 2a. It is just a start up who has its own personality clearly. It needs to workout on it and it will.

[@spudserobrien80]

What kind of rubbish has carplay but not android auto?? Literally every car iv ever encountered has access for both

[@Xraellium]

Good insights, but I assumed the Phone (2) flagship would have been better to test drive. My only issue is that these videos are kind of the same and can be summed up to "Good Phone, but that ecosystem tho" and if thats the case then pretty much no android will sucessfully tempt the switch, as Apple has no plans to make interoperability between the two platforms, I beleive for now they'll (Android) remain a curiousity at best for steep Apple users, regardless of flashy design or bells and whistles.

[@thehunt226]

Well, US and EU laws will require Apple to open up, which is a good move in my book. We´ll see how this play out in the long run... Cheers!

[@WinterSoldier0315]

thanks for the fantastic video. Getting a (2a) coming tomorrow. I also have the Pixel 8 Pro and the Samsung S24 Ultra. Love them both for different needs, but I want to see if I feel like I am missing too much from the more premium devices when I switch.

[@DaviDeXtA]

One comment you made here really hit home with me. "Do I need an iPhone or do I want an iPhone". This sums me up, I have been an Apple user since 2007 but their products have become so pricey that I am sitting here wondering do I really need to spend £700-£1000 on a new iPhone when I could spend £319 on a Nothing Phone that looks amazing and has a great spec for the price. Great video!

[@smarthomesounds]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@MrAkaacer]

If you need an iphone, you really should try an extricate. It means Apple has successfully got you by your balls and owns your data.

[@timetostartup3451]

Just ordered mine coming from and iPhone 12 so fingers crossed 🤞🏻

[@TimoMM]

Just discovered your channel. Really like your style, crispy footage and fun narrative style. I'll def be watching more of your videos😁😁

[@Yokai226]

I like this video format. Great review! Cheers 🍻

[@smarthomesounds]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@robxlove]

I liked the fornat to test one product for 72 hrs and with a verdict. I really think you could been a bit more detailed in good/bad discussion

[@jirayunangam8287]

Watching contens in phone (2a) I recently changed from Oneplus. Really love this phone.

[@GK-qc5ry]

Kudos for being one of the few people that have shown the android launcher rather than the Nothing OS default launcher.

[@passivaggressor]

I found it funny how many times you thought you had to do so many steps to do the most simple thing😂. Loved the video.

[@Pancake.Rnold35]

Great review, love to see this kind of similar content

[@smarthomesounds]

Awesome, thank you!

[@mikecannon374]

Great review.well done bud

[@88sstraight]

So is it 15 years in the Apple ecosystem (beginning of vid) or 10 (end of vid)? I enjoyed your review regardless!

[@DanThomas1161]

I'm pro photographer and I am invested like you into Apple devices. however 6 years ago I decided to stop using an iphone and switch to Android. I thought if I continue using all things Apple I would be nek chained to its system, and really isolate myself from the rest of the world in terms of the tech and the tech advancements. I really never looked back. I totally enjoy Android OS and a multitude of Android phones, and also, and this is really important as well, comparably getting a lot for not so much money. I think from a very personal point of view it's healthy and therefore really important to say no to Apple's wall.

[@kindofanmol]

You're used to flagship Apple products so trying a flagship Android phone from Nothing (Phone2), Samsung or Google would've been even more of a seamless experience. The cameras on those things are better than Iphone!

[@ez_lan]

Nice review 👍👍👍

[@smarthomesounds]

Thank you 🙂

[@ahmedomer8724]

Excellent review !

[@pranavshah2717]

Nothing 2a is really nice phone and I am using it from last 4 days and I am loving to use this phone

[@Sergio-su6rt]

¿What about the camera?

[@littlemissmouth]

This phone is great 👍🏽 good video 😊

[@825worker]

Can be a good spare/ work phone. Got myself a xiaomi 14 for the latter, and an iphone 14 pro (last December 2022) for my personal one.

[@stuartmills7481]

Great Video as always , I'd love you to try & review the Nothing ear buds , the Ear2's. Like you i'm very deep in the Apple eco system but Im always looking for other ear buds , I really love the one plus at the moment and of corse the Sennheiser MOMENTUM ! - B e very interested in your opinion on the Nothing's though .

[@عبرالرحمنسعود]

When is the next Sony conference... which displays audio products?

[@Sergio-su6rt]

If you prioritize the main camera, selfie and battery, Nothing Phone 2a or Samsung A55? Thx :)

[@somajenei3134]

What was your choice between the two at last? kinda having the same decision to make, just curious.

[@Sergio-su6rt]

@@somajenei3134 I chose the Phone 2A because it was a little cheaper and I wanted to try the Nothing OS. I am happy. Even so, if you prioritize the main camera a lot, the Samsung would be the choice. Greetings.

[@somajenei3134]

@@Sergio-su6rt Thanks for the answer, I think i'll make the same choice as I don't really care about the camera.

[@rpnarisma1]

Excellent video. 😊

[@Martin_Leyki]

You should rather try NP(2) and compare it to Iphone. But if you using Iphone that long your stuck with the ecosystem (Apple Garden) and there is no chance you ever switch to some android phone.

[@gamelord890]

Quality content ♥️

[@bartez8018]

Is this phone (processor) overheating?

[@romano_reese]

no

[@brunozoller4087]

Quite the opposite

Nice video! I just switched from Iphone SE 2nd gen and I am loving it. I was in the apple eco system too (macbook air, Ipad, airpods…) but I am finding ways around it. Not works as smooth obviously but it is good enough. I personally bought this phone mainly for it’s battery life because Iphone dies so quickly. Nothing Phone 2a can survive more than Iphone 15 pro. Obviously Iphone 15 pro beats it in every other way probably but Nothing Phone 2a is good enough in every way and has a good battery life. And costs almosy a quarter of Iphone 15 pro. Nothing OS is soooo good too.

[@marksouthwell2699]

You could probably buy 3 NP2a’s for the price of an iPhone 15p☺️

@@marksouthwell2699 yea thats what i said, 2A is so worth it. (Using it for 3 months now and I didn't have any problem at all.)

No Shit Sherlock

[@marksouthwell2699]

It’s not supposed to be equal or better than the NP2. It’s the more budget friendly version

[@miguelmeireles1951]

Apple ecosystem is just perfekt… but nothing OS is also something else

[@MrAkaacer]

Perfect would be interoperable with all platforms. Anyone can make a closed system good, however, people would rail at being locked in. But Apple has managed to convince people to chain themselves to Apple products.

[@onefatbuddha]

Freedom from nothing!

[@dionis5598]

"promo sm"

[@alastairmackay4589]

I’m thinking you let the Nothing phone off quite lightly. To me it doesn’t look premium - has a disposable vibe. Camera, sound, screen and system integration all weaker than iPhone.

[@siddiquihuzaifa7528]

I really hope that you know the price difference

[@maitodargiyo69]

of coure the fuck it is. iPhone is thrice the price.

[@littlemissmouth]

It's a great phone for the price brilliant I moved from apple in Jan best decision I made I can move my apps anywhere on my screen lol does me great for the price

[@roshangogu2670]

Still provides 120hz display, better fast charging, better battery all for much lesser price than iphone
