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

[@AnandMishere]

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.

[@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)

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

[@filippogamer2994]

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

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.

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.

[@yukihinakurotsuchi7367]

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

[@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.

the first time i got my hands on it, i fell in love with the display! For the back, it reminds me of Eve from Wall-E. haha Its simple & fast & the glyph just makes it even more unique because its just not any other torch light. I've been using 2a for a month now, its worth every penny.

I have a nothing phone 2, with various rooted tweaks, and it is such a good device, one of the best android phones ive used in awhile( my previous phone was oppo) with the other really good phone I had being a note 10+.

@@rMeRUEM hi first thing I did was change the font, allowing all my home screen widgets to look the same. I also play integrity fix, makes netflix work and tap to pay etc, but could have security issues. systemless hosts, adaway for dns based adblocking. zyngsik. but a popular one is ios emoji.

Mrwhosetheboss, your chosen image for the video had me excited for full on, body shot, glyph light shows. In actual fact there is no light on the bottom half of the phone & Nothing have dialed back their light strips to the essential minimum. Nice price though.

[@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.

I believe what nothing has been doing is pretty impressive. The main deal is the software for me, as long as they can keep it this good and minimalistic, I am in. I hope they will continue that👍

Funny how Nothing claims to be consumer friendly but is completely following the footsteps of the most evil tech giants. (Overpricing initially, not giving charger in the box, being more about the hardware than the software.)

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.

[@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.

[@terryhons1895]

Bruh....I had that on my Huawei P20 lite...7-8years ago

[@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 !

That gorgeous thin bezel for that price is crazy! I’ve never seen that kind of bezel at that price

[@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.
