Nothing Phone 2A Review: Flashy Good Deal!

[@reycojay243]

Do any of you guys ever feel like a specs battle has become pointless and a phone choice is more of a aesthetic and subjective choice now that the performance across the board is excellent? Edit: damn senpai noticed me

[@jonesmree]

Its basically like cars nowadays.

[@brandonw6139]

Yes if you want a basic smart phone that does everything to a average level you don't need to spend 800 dollars

[@LordCoeCoe]

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

[@yasu_red]

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.

[@aktm1407]

I agree. Therefore I feel like we need more phones of different shapes and sizes. I am tired of these >6.2" phablets

[@assprdel]

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

[@fxETA]

Totally , it makes such a difference to me

[@pluto7389]

*struck

[@hamza-chaudhry]

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

[@ediomomatthew411]

The design is so ugly.

[@takeuchi5760]

​@@ediomomatthew411 that was my gut reaction as well, but I'm pretty sure that's just cuz we're used to Nothing phones having the camera in the side, if you ignore the camera placement bias, it's easily the best looking phone in that price range.

[@Erindale]

Just the fact that they're a small company actually trying something makes me want to support them

[@lkjhg2607]

Small company? I hope you're kidding

​@Ale-kc9pq so LITERALLY EVERYTHING is a small company? When compared to samsung and apple.

[@sushilskolia]

one big seperator from other mid range phones is that it has symmetrical bezels! that's a great addition in this category looks dope

[@snjert8406]

Yeah! Many phones have these weird bezels that get larger at the top and bottom and it's SO UGLY

[@sir_prize_ma_the_farcar4547]

Main difference will be the software experience 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@wafflecart]

amen! My biggest gripe

[@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.

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

I was in the market for a budget Android phone for doing testing and development. Saw this video when it came out and decided to give the Nothing 2a a shot. I received it last week and have had almost a week of trying it out. I'm really impressed. You weren't kidding about no bloat ware. It's really clean and smooth. I might even daily drive it once in a while, and that says a lot because I'm a pretty hardcore apple person.

where do you find your wallpaper? 3:32

[@Ronkly]

2:10 What is the keyboard in the background?

[@Ojas.soniii]

I don’t know exactly but I guess oneplus keyboard

[@Ronkly]

@@Ojas.soniii nope. OnePlus keyboard's arrows don't have the gap on the left. And the keyboard in the video has black borders

[@Ojas.soniii]

@@Ronkly ohh wow and if you get to know it please do tell 🥰

[@FlameForgedSoul]

Looks like something from Keychron, Dearest.

MacBook Air M3 Review????

[@SiegEsports]

Fr

[@AustralisMan]

Give Marques some time lol, he needs to test the device out and edit and alll

[@abbinarasimha]

Its not that important of a review, just see the M2 MacBook Air review, its literally the same device but a different chipset lol. But yea, I would like to see the review as well 🤣

[@kitchenmonster228]

😂😂

[@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

[@TheTechWorld4U]

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

[@Forsecondbreakfast]

if only it wasn't tablet sized

[@jgamer1137]

Nothing is probably one of my favorite phone companies out. Their design and everything they’re doing is amazing. I really want them to keep innovating with their designs

[@unown78960]

The Logic INSIPIO intro was wild, so proud

[@sudiptoshuvo269]

i love the fact that you are a fan of Logic's music 😭 0:56

[@maxlehrmann93]

So, i own the nothing phone 2, and the greatest thing about their phone is the software! coming from lg g5->huawei p20 pro->xiaomi x11 to the nothing phone 2 and using samsung's from parents and friends its absolutely astonishing to me, how their are small annoyances on other android skins which are nearly all completely resolved in this. I cant even describe it, but just using it is so great, the bugs and overheating Marques described in his review of the phone 2 are never experienced by me, maybe because ive bought it later then when he did his review, its just great. the glyph is just a gimmick i never really actively use, buts thats just the flashy marketing point of the phone. Battery Management on this Phone is just superb. Such a nice damn Phone for a good Price.

[@MrWowh]

Wow I love the placement of those camera! When I’m taking pictures that’s exactly where my eyes look on the phone.

[@1stRanger]

Finally cameras placement that actually makes some sense unlike any other phone.

[@pratho1]

3:38 20syl Ongoing Things. That intro music to MKBHD videos was fire back in the days.

[@petej_2]

I like that the camera is in the middle and not on the side. One of the reasons why I chose the pixel 7.

[@kaelsito1668]

I love the camera module, it is very original, I would like nothing phone 1 and nothing phone 2 to have had it, I hope that with nothing phone 3 they have this module. greetings from Chile !

[@mikeyhope7577]

Day 1 buy for me. Been wanting an android to compliment my 15 pro. Was just waiting for a price point and company that made sense. 350 and a company I respect is all I need.

[@smiddyman]

This is the kind of phone that interests me. I'm not a phone "power user". I make calls, send messages, watching KZbin videos. The occasional photo that will never gets looked at again. Only thing is the budget phone I bought 5 years ago still does all that stuff for me, but when it does eventually die on me it's nice to know there are solidly built phones out there to replace it.

[@shermacphillip6115]

5:27 there is a minor mistake... S23 ultra uses 8 gen 2 and s24 ultra uses 8 gen 3... A bit of a mix up there.... Great video nonetheless... Nothing short of perfect as always @mkbhd

[@tinolm6202]

Haha, as a 2a owner, looking back at this, after the drama of MKBHD apperently destroying companies with his reviews, I gotta say, his reviews are extremely accurate and honest.

[@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.

[@Leo99929]

LOVE the plastic back, plastic frame, no curved screen, big battery. YESSSS!!!!

[@Takuma_Sakazaki]

The intro is dope, whoever made that needs a raise.

[@PoignantSnack]

i’m fully cemented in the apple ecosystem, but i find nothing phones so interesting and unique and love hearing reviews on them. also, the intro of this video was dope

[@TheDudeRehan]

I would love to see them create their own unique OS it’s the only thing holding me back 😅 isn’t it for me :(
