Nothing Phone (2a) Review // One Month Later!

[@sharuan.sofian]

I got fed up with the expensive fruit ecosystem and sold my iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch to this. Honestly, best decision i ever made in years. A lot of ppl would regret it, but not me, who is now happily embracing minimalism.

[@MountainGirlwIPA]

Same here. It was like riding a tricycle. Apple user, when being an Apple user wasn't "cool". WTHH2A!

[@wasittaberoa6365]

Ohmy, same here😊

[@prodbyhajime]

Okay mate………. That was some next level editing throughout the video 😅

[@thisisbimal]

Thank you for your review Sam. I was eagerly waiting for it since launch. As for me, I don't ever use wireless charging, because I mostly stay next to my desk and all the ports, and I rarely ever capture photos, and in times that I do, I don't really bother myself as much with great quality. And I don't play games, so Nothing's light AOSP software skin along with smoother animations with 120 Hz for me is decent enough.

[@SomethingSomewhereJustOnce]

Are you me? 😂

[@rattataa]

Are you me too? 😂

[@puneetmandloi]

Boy oh boy! That production quality is so pleasant to eyes mannn!

[@Dezron]

lebron sunshine meme 😂

[@salaheddine473]

Wow, the intro and production are incredible! Especially considering you do it all yourself (as far as I remember). Props to you, mate! Love your content.

[@anirudhpai3040]

0:00 intro 🔥

[@vamsikalavakuri9344]

lol That you had to timeline

[@manushetgar]

It's been a while since I saw an awesome intro

[@MatthewLabarbera]

I love your videos mate but this is harsh on the camera.. the phone is cheaper than the Galaxy A35.. and that camera is absolutely rubbish. The camera is fine for 99% of people. I wouldn't call it a downside when its the same price as an iphone 11 from half a decade ago..

[@priinxe02]

Design Of The Phone 2a is Out Of This World....Very Aesthetic😍

[@sandokan66]

The reviewer forgets most of the time how mutch this device costs and what we get for the money. From my experience with it: 10 points from 10. For the phone, not the reviewer.

[@kindofanmol]

Crazy how much better the camera has gotten with updates. Its now easily one of the best in the segment!

[@antobenilol]

Ok so... Is better than most of the phones for the price range, and the battery is good, cameras are ok, no wireless charging (Not a problem for me) and sometimes lags (I think the lagging issues can be fixed on a Software Patch but ok)... I think it works for me, i'm buying one

[@DrTheRich]

Same, i'm going to get this. I don't understand why he is comparing a budget phone to a flagship...

[@sareenarahim4564]

U bought?

[@everydaydose7779]

bought one online and after a few days returned it. Exchanged it for the same price a55 which is already the 12gb ram model I get so much better battery life/performance and overall phone feel with the aluminum frame i never thought an exynos would fair better than a mediatek

[@marksouthwell2699]

​@@everydaydose7779did you get the 12gb version of the NP2A. In some tests the Nothing CMF phone 1 is roughly equal to the A55 in the performance arena

[@dragosc8326]

Such a cool intro! ❤

[@soummyadipchakraborty1380]

I bought this for my Mum. She's loving it.

[@umbertofurlan501]

just got the 12gb model in asia for 300 bucks. Crazy Good low/mid range phone

[@Don_XII]

Where did you get it from?

[@umbertofurlan501]

@@Don_XII bangkok. central world mall

[@yasuchika]

As a budget phone buyer I'm fine with compromises, I just need to find a phone that compromises on the areas that I don't care about. That's how I ended up with the Nothing 2a this time around.

[@TuanMinh-sv2gq]

How smooth is the phone when using a couple apps like messenger and photos and swirching between them a lot?

[@rosaria8384]

​@@TuanMinh-sv2gq having owned it for weeks now, it's not really that bad, it can handle day to day tasks. Heck you can even play a game in pop up mode and still have good performance.

[@YXEigbolifestyles]

Sold out in North America. Only available from resellers. NP 2A is doing well

[@athenaa__1111]

Does the NP 2A have full network coverage in the USA? If yes, which service providers? AT&T or T-Mobile?

[@bemadgenius]

Most beautiful Nothing Phone 2a video i have ever watch.

[@TheJed744]

The quality of this video is insane

[@ShinobiSan]

Finally a nothing phone 2a review I can relate with 😂

[@Study4uLBSNAA]

I am an Indian 🇮🇳 and I have using this phone since 1 month, literally it's amazing guys in this price feel like iPhone

[@reetiksatapathy701]

Which gcam port did you use??

[@kindofanmol]

Kudos to Nothing for keeping the budget segment exciting! 👑

[@Bishhh777]

I love nothing phone 2a...so smooth✨

[@pontymoyal]

amazing intro bro

[@ASA-kq5bz]

I booked this phone for around 200$ gor 256gb in india during offer. Is it worth it?

[@SpectrGamingg]

I hope this design remains ONLY for their A phones, rather than spreading to the rest of the line. Saying they look like an iPhone, when everything is a glass sandwich is just absurd to me (and IK sam isn't alone in saying that). I also just really like the design of the Phone One and Two.

[@SeptienPatterson]

Damn Sam! That intro was a ripper!

[@MiddleB0ss]

I can't really understand why Nothing keep making phones bigger and bigger, 2a have oportunity to be small factor phone like default iPhones. I will buy it immediatly, hate Nothing(1) have giant screen.

[@haywoodjblome4768]

Because people just don't buy smaller phones enough. The data doesn't lie

[@dreadlock17]

Typing this on the NP1 and the screen size is just perfect for me

[@TRX-h7k]

I have it. I love it. I recommend it.

[@luggij1427]

Same here

[@renyellow]

how is it

[@WeHaveEachOther]

This is a great phone. My only complain is the aspect ratio. Wanted it to be narrower.

[@jeffrey_jpeg]

My soul was ready!

[@UnboxingJourney83]

What a performance! Thank you for the review. You're a true asset to KZbin. As mentioned, the intro is simply perfect; they should consider hiring you for their product promotions. Wishing you all the best, and keep up the great work. You inspire me time and time again. 🙏🚀

[@athenaa__1111]

Does the NP 2A have full network coverage in the USA? If yes, which service providers? AT&T or T-Mobile?

[@nielsjunker1487]

Love the different design 💪

[@guiaparponsian4891]

Yeah. I really agree that its camera performance is the biggest drawback. I also resorted to gcam, and I hope there's a gcam in the future that can utilize the 50 MP camera hardware. Nonetheless, it's still a great phone.

[@ya7yaRCP]

do you think its good enough for my 12 year old child?

[@ExiledExia]

holy crap that intro was fire

[@arjnVl]

Hey Sam🤞🏻✨what brand of tshirt is that u are wearing?....

[@nikhilpatel981]

Where i can get for $350?? Its $550 in Australia buddy and the matter of the fact you live in Sydney so where exactly you can get in $350?

[@sambeckman]

99% of my audience is not in Australia, so I use USD as it's a little more universal.

[@elchamber]

Wireless charging is kind of important for me. If my iPhone 13 mini didn't have it, I would be struggling with charging my phone since its charging port is not acting perfectly.

[@prb.pratyush]

Have you faced any screen burn issue with nothing phone 2a ?? I am facing this issue after the latest update

[@eginsoft]

Wow..your video is getting Better..A lot better (worth to watch) !!!

[@miguelmeireles1951]

If NP3 come with a 3 camera , I gone buy it!

[@marksouthwell2699]

Didnt the Nothing phone 2a beat most of the competition in battery tests ? Apart from its younger sibling the Nothing CMF phone 1

[@LilEffTee]

got 8/128GB varient for $226.69, I'm enjoying it.

[@bedscenez]

seriously normal people Cant see any difference in the photos taken by the 2a camera.

[@Mehdital89]

try taking group pictures at night time, will be blurry af

[@justineforres5880]

Lovin the video quality.

[@shja0111]

Watching this on the phone 2a coming from a 6 year old nokia 7.2 this feels good.

[@stemider]

It took me 15 minutes to find out that Nothing 2a doesn't recognize fingernail touch correctly, and it's causing constant errors while scrolling - unintended clicks instead of scroll. My every phone in history, and every other I've checked, could swipe content even with only fingernail.

[@robertvogt1527]

$350?????? Not in my part of town. In south Eastern Victoria, the price of that phone is $550. Still not bad,but considering the performance issues with the sub-par cameras, it may not be worth it,at least in my opinion. If you don't care much about cameras or performance, then you can spend less on a different brand, but if you want something with better performance, and better cameras, for $100 or $150 more, you could get a midrange samsung or something. I'm not a samsung fan boy or anything, I'm just saying.

[@Martin_Leyki]

Well I think the stock photos were better than with gcam app. Btw..you gained some muscle?

[@user-gx9wt7dn3t]

Great video Sam as always. What aspect ratio of video is this? Camera used?

[@jospherkanna]

lemme tell you this... nothing is aiming for the indian market with this one. i own nothing phone 2 and its an expensive phone amongst my friends and it even goes as fligship phone among my friends. in india "midrange" is the price at which 2a is at right now.

[@sucesstrain]

You ought to be in the new Mad Max movie 💀🚗

[@MohammedShahab23]

how does it compared to motorola edge 50 pro

[@sburns834]

Im still waiting on my white phone 2a from jb hi fi aus. They have stock of all the other phones just not the white. And i dont want the black due to fingerprint issues.

[@mikhailmendoza6760]

What's the mouse at 4:24!

[@j_patrick]

Here in India, I can get it for roughly 19k (8gb,128gb) after offers (350AUD in conversion). Should I go for it? Currently using a Moto Edge 30 which is riddled with green lines.

[@amanofcultur9903]

Where are you getting it from for 19k?

[@wernervienna]

What is that keyboard in the background?

[@vishnup.s6634]

Can u please give the link for the gcam u used

[@gogetablue7905]

Poco F6 vs Nothing Phone 2a?

[@pascalkhazzoum]

What mouse is showing at 4:23 ?

[@DrTheRich]

Wireless charging (really plugless charging) is a totally unnecessary luxury feature. I don't get why it's such a big deal that it's not on their budget phone... If you want luxury features buy the luxury model...

[@iamshiva003]

Can you provide the link for the gcam mentioned in the video

[@Salty_Biscuitz88]

Verdict is this is a budget range phone with decent performance and lousy camera. But you are only paying $350. So that is to be expected. If you want decent phone and good camera for cheap. Get a pixel 7a

[@jawadhossain1556]

While you are judging this phone like a flagship one, remember this is a mid ranger targeted towards normal to moderate users. Also the less you pay the less you will get, so i guess you can get down of your high horses and review it like a mid range😂

[@AzureRT456]

Lol instant skip on second "compromise"... just pointless nitpicking

[@AzureRT456]

ps wireless charging still involves a wire, you just don't have to connect a wire everytime you charge

[@soobinsii8273]

What's the gcam link please?

[@kelvinator3037]

Why havent you done the a55? Cmon m8!!!!

[@jeanm3506]

Sad thing about this phone is the IP rating, only reason I wouldn’t take it

[@Darx97]

i know they used plastic on the back to save money but they should have made it frosted so it doesnt pick up fingerprints and scratches that quickly, and youll still be able to see the underside bits too

[@ajaykumar-ve5oq]

where can I get wallpaper

[@OldSins]

review Motorola Edge 50 pro!!!

[@Beeman2892]

Still lovin mine!

[@mehshutup3041]

If you're in US then yes this phone is pretty good for the price, but on other place where Xiaomi, POCO or IQOO exist then this phone is not worth the price

[@Dezron]

i mean their software is not as good as nothing and also camera but if you opt for performance then sure get any of those phones

[@chickenandshrimp1338]

It's not available in the USA

[@merwyndantas6781]

Ig it is unfair to compare the camera to the lights of the flagship give that it isn't one, for the price i feel it well and truly justifies the camera, also with time the camera processing will only improve ( phone 2a user)

[@marksouthwell2699]

A camera is as good as its operator and different lighting situations

[@oussama4629]

the ACE 3V beats the shit out of this phone. the pixel 6 and 7a are better options too

[@houndyface]

Ace 3V sucks on its camera department

[@EwaRiro]

that looked like Istanbul, Turkish airport

[@callumhaynes1384]

In your settings menu, I notice the background looks AMOLED pitch black whereas on my phone 2 it's grey. Is that new in an update?

[@ifoghale]

It’s beautiful though, wow

[@lovro_ribic]

If you want to make a budget phone remove the lights on the back because 99% of people buying a budget phones use a case + dont care about the lights

[@Attano_26]

Can I get the link for gcam port

[@zackvyle]

Nothing is cooking rn 🔥🔥

[@gautam9]

Does this have nfc; its competitors like nord ce 4 don’t

[@Dezron]

yes it does, it coils around the camera

[@marksouthwell2699]

Yes

[@johnilixcertadios6351]

Nothing phone 2a or poco x6 pro ? Guys 😊

[@marksouthwell2699]

No nasty ads or excessive bloat ware on the NP2a

[@raldo7677]

Which colour is this ?

[@wanderingsouth9874]

Milk

[@wanderingsouth9874]

Milk

[@nlsn_og]

what did nothing have to sacrifice

[@nlsn_og]

nothing

[@therealsprint]

A ultrawide camera without focus is senseless...

[@ChrisVideoNet]

Video aspect ratio is too wide.

[@Testimony201]

They should have gone with Qualcomm Snapdragon chip, maybe a snapdragon 7 Gen 1 or something lower.

[@dirkbals2836]

Nice,but no headphone jack,so i got a samsung a15

[@bharatjeevan]

Okay....am I the only one who thought the pictures you took were pretty darn good for the price of this phone ? 😅

[@itshithu.]

how'd you get GCAM on phone 2a?

[@AkoToMarjon]

There is a screen retention issue flogging this device. Read it with different forums

[@suhashg8664]

no wireless charging...........yes please......generates heat, less efficient, and slow...........why does anyone need that....only because that's cool....

[@TheAltair033]

2 weeks ago, I bought a used pixel 7 pro for 315€. I will never understand people who buy new midrange phones

[@advaitBA]

Refurbished?

[@chickenandshrimp1338]

Great phone. Photo quality is the best.

[@oussama4629]

even the pixel 6 pro or 7 are an enormous upgrade over this all show no go phone. both of which can be found under 350

[@legit3575]

same, got mine 2 months ago at 340. phones are getting so good to be able to last 6-8 years if treated right, if not just change the battery for the most. It really doesn't make sense getting a mid/low end phone if you can get and 1-2 year old flagship that these days have 5+ years of support

[@chickenandshrimp1338]

In the US, Nothing is non-existent. We don't have them. The carriers here don't carry them. You can get it unlocked but it doesn't support most 4 & 5G bands.

[@nikkeipvck8529]

Your review is really helpfuk

[@ketanshah7553]

Make a review about Xiaomi 14 and 14 ultra

[@josephluong4949]

would you sell ur other phones just sitting in storage?
