Nothing Phone (2a) Review - Did They Lie?

What do you guys think to this Nothing Company? Overhyped, or Revolutionary? 🤔 For my full review of the Apple Vision Pro: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a37Lg42mZ9qopMU

Overhyped

[@toenyfungus5409]

I love the fact that they actually try to be unique. The glyph interface the design choices and the software are all top notch in my opinion for the price range

[@adamhamel9784]

Thank you for making a comment that actually pertains to the content. The bots and like farmers are driving me crazy.

[@tanaykolaskar]

Ahh nah

[@chiroyce]

Exactly, at this price point there is no phone that is as good a package as the Nothing (2a) - also its uniqueness makes it stand out completely between other sub $400 phones

[@conorstewart2214]

One thing lots of people seem to miss is that from the software side, android lets you download and use different launchers which means you can get practically the whole software side of the nothing phone on any android phone, just download a minimalist launcher.

[@cocobean.72]

the problem is they're trying too hard. they should have just focused on good software with good hardware and good service. all this glyph stuff is too much

Idk how many have noticed. The light in the back circles the letter ‘a’ and the circuit casing design in the bottom as 2 makes it “2a” which is a matured Easter egg sort of design element.

[@rainy5517]

Yes I've missed this. I hope more phone companies go back to that

[@tomanicodin]

Totally agree. This company has spark and joy in their DNA. And the price so far is not crazy. I want to try the phone for the aesthetics and the decent performance (if I have to trust the review)

[@tomanicodin]

[@sirnutcase8745]

I have a Nothing Phone 2, and i am really glad i choose this one. simple, fast, lots of features and most used of all the Glyph lighting on the back, my phone has been on silent for months now because i see the notification happen. that notification light is so nice, ignore everything on your phone unless you set it up for different apps.

[@aaravnagpal6469]

Is it difficult to remember what each glyph means?

[@RJazz909]

​@@aaravnagpal6469 Second NP2 user here... Short answer, no. There's only 1 essential notification glyph. Whenever that one is on, I know I have a text message or a missed call. Only people who I really trust and who are important to me have my number. The rest of the glyphs light up in different patterns according to what ringtone or notification noise you use. There's several different options preloaded and then there's a feature to upload your own sounds and have the phone figure out the appropriate matching glyph pattern for it. Works great. That being said, you have the ability to customize each app and each little notification that app can give you, to make a different noise, thus making a different pattern on the glyphs when it comes through. Truthfully, I haven't bothered. I might one day. But for now I enjoy just having my essential glyph on demand and then my standard notification and ringtone when I'm not on "flip to glyph" mode

[@SuccessMalefa]

The 5 minute countdown is for back to back meetings. In an office environment you need to wrap up and get to next steps before bouncing to the next room or video conference. 20m wouldn’t make any sense for that purpose, but ideally its just a setting

Nothings design is a breath of fresh air. But it looks like they're pretty much doing exactly what OnePlus did back then. Enter the market with crazy good value products to reel in customers, and then successively adjust with each generation.

[@kaiserfakinaway5909]

idk about crazy good value. They have good value but not great, other companies have caught up. If someone isn't interested in the design, then they're losing a huge chunk of the audience to others. They should've kept a normal design with better hardware like Oneplus did back in the day but ig that'd be too expensive so I think I understand why they did what they did. The Nothing phone 2 is awesome in every way it's just that the cameras aren't that great, like it's the same hardware as the Phone 1, yk you'd expect a small upgrade in cameras or something for the price hike and stuff but they didn't. Hope they can get big enough one day to compete better, other companies need to reduce prices ASAP, they've gotten out of control. They can try getting some photographers from youtube to help tweak their camera software just like they did for the Nothing Ear with DMS. That'd help them squeeze out whatever potential their cameras might have.

I've been using phone 1 for a year now, mostly because I absolutely love the design. And I'm not a fan of the new one, for now I'm staying with phone 1. Which is also great, after a year of buying a cheaper phone I don't feel a need to swap, which I think is the most important. I've been comparing to really good phones and even when it's not as good, it's still good enough

[@tangerineslice]

how do the cameras feel on the phone (1) ? It's my main hesitation between the 2a and the 1 (the two is slightly out of my comfortable price range and it seems either the 1 or 2a would work just fine in it's place)

@@tangerineslice i mean it's good. It takes good enough photos, the camera wasn't really the main focus when they made this phone I think. Still tho haven't had any situations when it wouldn't be good enough. So unless you want 4k super crisp photos I think it'll work for you just fine

With OLED displays you don't even need that.. They could perfectly do it by software and the screen would just turn on a few pixel in the shape of a circle. There are infinite possibilities about what you could do in terms of minimalist notifications with an OLED display. "Nothing" or any other company would just need to create the software and settings to customize it as you please.

Can the essential mail notifications feature target a folder in the mailbox ? If so then your issue is easilly fixed by creating rules in your mail service. Create a rule that moves shop sites to a shop folder, game sites to a game folder, familly and friends mails to a personnal folder, etc.. Then get the notifications to target the one you want.

[@chucklesdeclown8819]

as someone who has the nothing phone 1, while i do believe there could be better ways to utilize the light set-up, I do agree that I think the limitations are gonna be difficult to work around. the thing is, I think the reason that the notifications not being that important from you parents are because of privacy concerns. if the phone was able to read your messages and therefore able to determine which notifications are important it would send off some alarm bells so I think that this is more of a compromise to more privacy focused users who will take a tradeoff of the notification not being that important slightly annoying if the phone isn't reading their messages in return(or isn't reading them as much as bigger companies) as I've glanced at their thing that they give you before fully setting up their phone and they obviously take some data which they say is to improve the glyph system but if this is their supposed improvements to it, something tells me they ain't taking much or they're taking a good bit but their like "this ain't important" or iim giving them the benefit of the doubt(the most likely option tbh). either way, i would take that compromise. EVERY text from my parents is important 🗿.

Hey Arun, i really enjoy your content and usually 100% agree with your take but for this one i think you have just misunderstood the reason for the LED notification as you can still set regular notifications for things that you need to be aware of. And for the important LED that stays on its so that when you do end up looking at your phone you know there is an important message of some sort instead of just the flash that you would get with any other notification.

Introducing the NOTHING REVERSE, which has a large secondary display on the rear, which you turn on or off with a physical slider, designed to give you full info on essential notifications, can give you any and all notifications with a few additional swipes, and even serves as a fully functioning display for selected apps and widgets so you can interact with your phone face down...or not, but you don't miss notifications.

[@enricoriverasantos]

Those led lights there were a game changer if they can come up that into way more brighter and bigger ideas. +1 subscriber, this review is really good!

[@tbkswagg]

I would give an app for us or support with Tasker to customise to our liking. It could be done pretty easily if they want

[@saikatraj]

I think it would take another solid 3 to 4 generation to see how the glyph interface evolves and whether it is a solid game changer or not. But for now it just acts as a distinct differentiating features that others don't have.

Been an iPhone user my whole life, not because I purely want to but it helps with the industry I work in as I use all Apple tech for work. Honestly this is the first time I am thinking of dropping the iPhone and getting a Nothing phone. I'm going to see where the brand is at by September-October time and potentially make the change and give it a go.

I just bought it and I love it. I do not need anything fancy, a powerful camera but I do need a phone that basically that can cater my everyday needs which this Nothing 2(a) can provide. Also, I love how there is almost no bloatwares which makes this phone perfect for a minimalist like me. Thank you Nothing because you exist.

[@Funkotronimus]

8:05 you will inevitably flip the phone over, but delaying that need until the last possible moment is likely to deflect many potential distractions. I feel this helps them take big strides toward their goals

[@kurejirin]

04:27 thats not a good idea, that means anyone can cut off your communication and possibly steal your phone. Android has always asked for the phone's password to turn off the internet or turn on the airplane mode (at least that's what I saw on Samsung). its kind of a security issue

[@conorstewart2214]

I thought that too when I saw it. Anyone can steal your phone, hit the button and then you will never find it. I also don’t get turning your phone onto airplane mode overnight anyway. I use do not disturb but still allow phone calls, if anyone has an emergency that is worth phoning me for then I don’t mind that as long as all notifications are silenced.

[@corriedotdev]

Had the v1 for years and I actually didn't realize focus mode and some of the other qwerks weren't on all phones. Great device love it!!

[@Fastfire_]

i feel like if they implemented some software to detect words in your notifications and then they'd use ai to identify if it's important or you could set a list of words that would trigger the important notifications it would help with the issue at 8:40

That would just introduce a new marketing "hack" for companies !

I'm not sure if this is purposeful, but in most of the shots where it's showing Arun's face, the phone is not the focus unless he's talking about a feature. If it's intentional it's a cool detail that fits with the "fades into the background" idea.

[@omdama355]

I noticed that too, it seems like it might be intentional and focus is adjusted while recording the video by the cameraman. If it is done on an editing software then whole masking thing would be tedious (I am still learning to edit, wish his editors made a BTS or something)

[@acc3ss_d3clined71]

[@gssf.gr29]

Sorry but I disagree about the notification feature with the LEDs. It's great for letting you know a message has arrived, and if, like me, you don't get dozens of messages every day that can be very useful. Sure, you have to look to see who the message is from but then you have to look to read it anyway. My current phone has started to bulge, which means it's probably about to explode, so I'm seriously considering this model. Flagship phones are now ridiculously expensive (thanks to Apple in my opinion, as soon as others saw they were getting away with their £1000+ prices they all followed suit), and they're often flawed. Most of us don't care that much about the photos as long as they're good enough, and most of them really are. So why spend more?

[@paintflood_143]

They can incorporate LEDs with colours, a certain contacts maybe be assigned a certain colour, or for an app it could be a combination of two colours or maybe three, which the user can set

[@ewuu4650]

Sony has also done that with their notification dot. There's green for charging or if the battery is still good, red for lowbat, white for notifications and sometimes blue for unknown reasons.

Looking cool, I was really hoping we were gonna get a 6.3-5 inch phone and not another 6.7 mini tablet phone which everybody else is making. Yes I understand It’s easier to engineer large phones and you can stick a big battery but no body makes like a decent midsize phone anymore and so I was hoping nothing was gonna fill that.

[@kartikkelkar3997]

Exactly 👍🏻

[@coveps1325]

the better implementation for the glyph concept would be say a cover screen on things like a z flip phone, does the same thing but can display more useful information like timers, etc.
