one thing struck me with this phone, uniform bezels. such a simple design element that blows the other budget phones out of the water. love to see it

I don't know how every phone doesn't have that these days

[@TwoToTheSix]

Especially when you see a phone where they *almost* got it but messed up the corner radius

[@CASyHD.]

cause its more expensive and you can generelly make the sides smaller then the top or bottom. Top can be bigger to incorporate bigger Speaker grill, or Selfie Camera and other Sensors(extreme example iphone notch) and the bottom needs to be Bigger cause thats where the Electronicss for communication and displaying sits.@@hamza-chaudhry

[@LordCoeCoe]

Out of principal, it feels very stupid to buy a phone that's half the price of my prescription glasses.

[@XxGorillaGodxX]

Sort of. My main concern now is battery life and good update support. (Or an unlocked bootloader). There's a point in price where performance is already more than good enough for regular use.

[@bazem]

I love to finally see a company that makes a phone with a plastic back. It does not make sense to have a beautiful brittle phone made of glass that you have to hide inside a cover so it does not fall apart. I hope this starts a trend toward tougher materials instead of glass.

[@nuggetsaltshaker9520]

​@@snjert8406I'll never understand why people dislike bezels. I prefer them, keeps you from accidentally touching or smudging the screen when it's in landscape. Also it gives room for better cameras and speakers. There are only positives to bigger bezels.

[@PomuLeafEveryday]

​​​@@nuggetsaltshaker9520 Nothing phones have slightly bigger bezels than most modern phones, but has them completely even around all sides which looks so aesthetically pleasing. I don't mind bezels, but when a phone has an ugly big bezel chin and short top so your screen is off-center when in landscape, it's ugly as hell. Having a chin does nothing for your grip, who the hell is holding the phone from the bottom? And even if it does have a chin, it's usually still small to not give any benefits to grip, it just looks ugly with no user functionality.

[@ibrahimFiliz-vy5km]

the comparisons to phone 1 are actually the right thing to do. Nothing knows that the people who are going to buy this are not people who don't know anything about nothing, but nothing fans that can't afford their flagship so they will be thinking which one to buy the old phone 1 or the new budget 2a and it's great that the 2a is better with *AWT22W* we can strengthen something for real, don't overlook that

Chinese counterparts actually destroy the nothing phone 2a in terms of value. Default software might be unmatched but remember that we are in Android OS and we could actually emulate or even get a better system than the one on the nothing phone based on our needs and wants. For the US market though, the msrp value seems pretty good but it literally falls apart when we consider carrier deals for apple/samsung/motorola/oneplus and this "good" msrp is actually still bad value. I know Arun is pretty crazy for comparing it flagships but every chinese phone aims to do the same thing though and nothing phone can't match the chinese market. The saving grace of the software and led gimmick will fall apart as I think it is literally useless

At least the experience of watch these riders go 200+ mph on a motorcycle. 🙂

[@vidIQ]

There is one deal breaker that just seems to be ignored at the moment: screen size. I hear (from your own podcast) that Asus are likely ditching the Zenfone. This Nothing 2a phone is another whopper of a device that I just wouldn't be interested in, regardless of the price or specs. Do Android phones S24 size or smaller (with good specs) just not sell? I absolutely LOVED the Pixel 4a and was hoping some company making Android phones would continue to service that market. Options feel really limited. Was hoping Carl Pei would channel his inner One Plus X feels here. Guess not.

[@PlasmaSage]

That does seem like the trend now, nowadays everything is upsizing people want SUVs over hatchbacks and sedans when those are really what are needed for their needs; smartphones just seem to go into the same group. I really want a phone under at like 6'1 6'2 size range; because for me and the major amount of general public snapdragon 695 peaked the required performance (minus the 1080p ceiling on video and some things here and there). It's just now that anything after that is just an attraction towards the big numbers :/ There's also people cribbing at dimensity 7020 is just dimensity 1080 but that's just it, that's what is the ideal power requirement after that it's just useless for the masses. Being someone who studies processors it really makes me mad at people spending money blindly for just numbers which they just aren't going to use.

[@Zatob]

Most people buy big phones. So that's why no one makes small one's. At the end of the day who wants less display and less battery life. Not to mention speakers being worse.

[@kishor_ryouta]

Trust me, you're not alone buddy, but unfortunately it seems like the majority of the crowd prefer larger size compared to a compact phone! :(

[@hiimapop7755]

Compact phones appeal to me so much now, and it's disappointing to see our options whittle down year after year. I've been using the OnePlus 7 for nearly five years now, and it's the biggest size I can comfortably hold. I honestly wanted the S10e back then, but I only opted for OnePlus because of its clean software, so I planned on buying a smaller phone after using my current one for 5 to 8 years. We need more competition in the compact phone market again, man.

Having used the phone for a week, gaming on it has definitely pretty good! Didn't notice a crazy difference in performance from my previous iPhone 12 Pro. I love the glyphs, I actually thought it would be gimmicky. But the amount of times I've been pissed at my iPhone ringing during work or buzzing while I'm working, and swapping to the Nothing Phone 2A, it's been amazing. You actually notice the difference between general app notifications and something like an email or message.

[@erionhoxha5091]

If I may I love your videos (especially watching them from the (2a) you're talking about 😁). Just a question, do you think the pre-applied film on the screen should be taken off? I can tell the touch sampling is not great, but I'm afraid its a needed protection

HP from Nothing always makes many people curious because of its innovation

[@_ak._]

Maybe that’s a screen recording

[@dented.aluminum]

That’s a screen recording, you can see the screen recording logo in the top right corner

It’s a mega finger print magnet, specially in the black colorway at the end only *AWT22W* can help!

[@jackhughman282]

It's so cool looking. I wish more companies did cool stuff with looks

[@napomotsoeneng6046]

Marques is always the best at making intros of products!

[@hrfdude4234]

it looks like a concept phone from 2015!

[@gauravjuyal97]

The bot/paid comments under this video are insane! What's up with that AW1234shit...?

[@brodyjames4126]

I have aNothing Phone 1 and love it. It is up there with my Pixel 7 Pro. I love the interface and how everything just works, like my work iPhone.

[@SultanNejdet]

Hi , I have been watching your videos from last 4 years. I wanted to ask you to do a video on network attached storage .

[@NithinJune]

[@jzerocat23]

Yep works great

[@ShivaKaalaCreations]

11:11 don't say cheaper phone, it's affordable.

[@MustafaHayati-ch3uc]

MKBHD should start its own ad agency with those product intros. Unreal job guys. Gonna drag me to *AWT22W* man

[@willwunsche6940]

The one thing that outdoes the gliph thing for me is the older solution of notification LEDs. Just think that is a more functional solution. Rather than memorizing handsigns it could just light the color of the app the notification is from like old phones and customize it. And that's probably a lot more bettery efficient and less expensive. If you like the look that's cool though

[@avanishawade]

Why tf are there so many bots in this comment section?

[@SerkanHuseyin]

I love the home screen folder animation have an eye on *AWT22W* this is incredibly made

[@ZerinEsra]

I think the UI aesthetic work on this phone is above and beyond. I can't think of another company with that level of style at the end only *AWT22W* can help!

[@ErkanMunever]

The thing I like about the pixel a series. Is that they have the same processor and the cameras as their Flagship at the price range below 500. wanna know more about *AWT22W* too dude

[@simaknaveedakther8755]

Nothing trying something different as a small company reminds me of what oneplus did back in the days its looks nothing is gonna be the new oneplus that we used to love love the review by the marques and that intro was super awesome shout out your editor ❤❤❤

[@azevers0]

it actually impresses me the editing from mkbhd's channel. this guy has no need for background music whatsoever and still can grip the audience like superglue

[@dorw23]

Looks amazing ,overall bang for the buck phone. BTW, I think that these minors lights on the back looks cleaner and less flashy ,I'm sure that they will do the job as good as possible.

[@AdemMetin-so7cj]

"Ongoing Thing" makes a Cameo. The song never gets old ye *AWT22W* was right! Thanks for letting us know about *AWT22W*
