[NOTHING PHONE (2) REVIEW]
The Android smartphone world is one of extremes. On the high end, you've got what some would consider Way Too Much: folding screens; built-in pens; ultra zoom cameras. But down in the midrange, there's a lot of what I consider Not Enough: watered-down specs and compromised experiences, wrapped up in bland, forgettable designs. That’s the space London smartphone maker Nothing has been trying to shake up for the past year with phones and accessories built to stand out … and this summer, it’s bringing that flashy phone (and some new ideas) to the US - with the Nothing Phone (2).

[@TheMrMobile]

🚔FUN POLICE🚔 always on patrol 🚨

[@hrginho]

@@TheMrMobile I still think it's too expensive for what it sells for. I'd rather go for the Oneplus Nord 3 with similar specs, but that's just me.

[@WalterPavlikII]

I love your comment," it's just cool and different, man"

[@hrginho]

@@harvivekdhindsa6809 It looks nice, and it seems as a great phone. I'm just being practical. I almost never put my phone laying on the table with the back facing me. That's why I'm not interested in it. And unfortunately, it would be a bigger financial strain on my budget, than some other options. If this phone does good, it means Nothing has come up with a nice niche product. Good job for them!

[@Unan1mouz]

[@shahreiftaylor1687]

Gotta admit I would love to see nothing make a foldable

[@TheMrMobile]

Help me convince Carl there are more than just two of us, lol

[@SIPEROTH]

​@@TheMrMobile I think trying to convince him right now is pointless. You are in a bad time to argue this. His current company barely made two phones and just now trying to launch more world-wide. How can he waste recourses on making a foldable? Even if he wanted to make one it makes no financial sense to make one at the moment. A foldable right now will be a huge investment for a very limited audience that will be even more limited for Nothing since they will have a hard time keeping cost down. This means their foldable will end up expensive and selling very little.

[@TheMrMobile]

@@SIPEROTH Yeah, I said all this on the Threads post I mentioned in the video. I get it; we're just having a little fun here dude.

I say they wait. let them establish themselves before we ask for niche products. Yes this is niche product as it is, but yk what I mean

Why are several influential KZbinrs promote threads that fanatically? Is it an advertorial? After all Meta’s legal basis for processing Facebook users’ personal data in the EU was deemed unlawful earlier this year and we shouldn't be forgetting Cambridge Analytica...

[@festival3051]

It's content like this that makes Mr. Mobile stand out from the others. I'm not even into phones, I just find these videos fun

I preordered my Phone (2) on the 11th when it came out. This is the most excited I’ve been about a new phone in years. I got the dark grey with 512GB/12GB 😊

[@juanestebanaliaga1065]

How is t going after all this time?

[@meandmyEV]

The glyphs are cool and it serves as a reminder of the long lost notification lights that use to adorn most Android phones. I guess phone makers realized that having people looks at their phones more often was to their advantage but it used to be nice to see a green flashing light for a new SMS, a red flashing light because a call was missed etc.

[@ziginox]

I'm very disappointed that Sony dropped this from the Xperia 1 V. I still like it on my III. Say, I wonder if MrMobile is working on a 1 V review?

[@thedarkknight1971]

As I've said many times, IF Karl Pei/Nothing would make the Nothing phone with LEDs mounted in the bezels (around the screen), either a full loop around, or even 'L's on each corner, then HELL YES I WOULD buy that phone! If you've watched Zacks video (JerryRigEverything) on teardowns/or even that time he counted each of the LEDs, you'll see that each of the LEDS are mounted in a THIN 2 LED wide and however many long, per strip. So, mounting a 1 LED by however many long COULD be done because that LED strip WOULD be THINNER! The reason why I ask/suggest this mod is because... 1 - I ALWAYS use a tough case (which covers the back entirely), and, 2 - I N E V E R place my phone face down, EVER. Yes I have a tempered glass screen protector fitted as well as the case (hence after a good 2, 3 or even 4 years of use, my phones physical condition are always, well, mint. So having a very thin strip of addressable LEDs all around the front screen (it IS possible to do), or, if not all around the screen 'L' shape on each corner COULD VERY WELL be used in the same manner - Count down timer, notifications, Uber arrival time, Charging % status and many more manufacturer/software developer ideas abound! PLUS, for those (I don't), that do a lot of selfies/front camera video recording, it could be also used for a ring lighting for videos! So COME ON NOTHING! PLEASE think about it! There are a lot of us out here that WOULD LOVE a feature like this! Especially for the masses out there that DO put cases on their phones and don't like laying their phones face down, and want a SIMPLE solution to lighting whilst takingselfies/videos etc! 🤞 I HOPE Nothing DOES this in a future version like the Nothing Phone 3 or 4 etc! 🤞 😎🇬🇧

I loved the color notification lights so much!!!

[@quv2035]

[@ziginox]

@@quv2035 AOD doesn't grab my attention nearly as well as a notification light, given that it is monochrome and relatively dim.

Since Essential Company was bought by Nothing, maybe they could incorporate their modular connectivity in their next phone. The Essential Phone was my favorite non Pixel Android phone. That magnetic option to attach accessories was so simple but I loved it.

[@chickenpasta7359]

modular accessories really don't do well. its why a lot of manufacturers dropped them

[@WHITELION2093]

The problem with modular accessories was the price, although over time due to lack of interest they dropped in price, but it was not profitable

I'm not interested in a foldable but I would definitely love a smaller version of this phone. It's HUGE.

[@MikhailKutzow]

I love these phones' aesthetics. While I'm all aboard the foldable bandwagon, this would be an easy pick if I ever went back to slab phones. I'm so tired of technology that follows the Apple model of being sleek, friendly, and looking as little like technology as possible. Something like this that is so unabashedly technological? It's the sort of aesthetic design that I love. And I hope we can see more like it.

[@transformer88]

Just feeling the light strip is kinda lame, why not make a dot matrix on the back ? I am sure it will be much useful and stylish

Looks flashy and cool. Great SoC and not very competitive pricing imo. In Europe we have option of phones with 8+G1 and cheaper while in Asia they probably have 5 times more of the options. So yeah... except for weird iphone looks it has little offer. But I'm surprised that Uber does work with that glyph(has some contacts)- but I have all the doubts any1 else gonna jump on it-too niche to waste time imo.

[@mtpmc]

Nothing products remind me a lot of Essential with their twists being modest without being hyper specific or at the cost of compromises.

[@heeeydevon8262]

I personally think the Ultra Zoom and SPens are never _too much_ . I travelled the east coast of Australia and found the 10x optical zoom (and 30x hybrid) of the S23 Ultra amazing. Most wildlife photographers agree that 10x - 30x zoom is the most optimal zoom for wildlife and nature photography. When you're starting at 10x optical zoom on a phone when you don't have your DSLR with you, you can take some incredible shots that are otherwise impossible on a phone without it!...to the point that iPhone users were asking us to take a lot of their shots in some of our groups. The SPen made editing those amazing photos easy on the go as well!

[@ShashwatPanda]

I have been usiing a Nothing Phone 1 for about 5 months now and i still dont understand the negativity around thr glyph interface. I have had some genuine use cases where glyphs were most than mere useful. Also, they are tons of fun to play around with in your spare time, esp with the music visualization feature. Hope the fun-police folks dont arrest me for this 😂

[@TheMrMobile]

Oh they're filling their quota today. Within the hour they'll be demanding you justify the "gimmicks" and wondering why you didn't buy a RealMe or a Moto G. 😄

[@xPandamon]

It's just that the Glyphs draw a lot of power appareantly and only really do something if you put your phone on the display. So you either have this or an AOD that simply does the same job better, with more information and less power draw, especially if your phone has an LTPO panel.

[@ryant3922]

I'm planning on leaving the Pixel line up. Might check one of these out. Good video sir.

[@madmann6723]

I think Pei is doing a good job. With all his institutional knowledge after his experience with OnePlus, you know he's got a leg up on a typical start-up. When you have an experienced operator who's intimately familiar with the business, you're going to avoid some "new guy" pitfalls and save a few steps for sure. Well done Nothing!

[@phantomninja01]

I can already see the Nothing phones showing up in a future version of When Phones Were Fun in like 10 years.

Phones are too big nowadays. If Nothing creates a phone 6.1” or smaller I’d have a look at them, but for now the size is a dealbreaker for me

[@noire6845]

The way Carl Pei talks about the phone industry means that he knows what phone nowadays needs, software, not hardware

[@hid4]

Then why is nothing still in the shape of a hardware?

[@robertmwilliams]

Nice review, thank you. For me I have gotten so bored with the same old same old of current metal and glass soulless slabs I am really looking hard at the Nothing 2. I grew up when manufacturers actually competed to make phones look unique and fun. And yes, I have owned almost every phone in your 'When phones were fun' series. So I will probably pick up one of the phones just for fun and uniqueness, who knows hopefully if enough sell perhaps it will kick off a trend (he a person can dream). Oh and seeing you on Topsail Island was also a kickback to my younger days. I spent my entire summer vacations from the age of 6 to 19 either on Topsail or next door at Surf City (back in the 70's) and a couple of weeks in the late fall fishing of the numerous piers there at the time.

[@Githrog]

I can't believe you were in Top Sail for the 4th. I'm from Pittsburgh and my wife and I take our kids to top sail every year including this 4th. Would have been cool to bump into you.

My last Android phone was the Galaxy Note 4. Loved that thing. Went iPhone 7+ over Galaxy Note 7 for obvious reasons and needed an upgrade. Since then, Android has just been boring to me with exception of the Pixel line. I’m waiting on Nothing Phone 3 to get announced before making the switch back. 2A looks great too, but I’m really hoping they go with the most current Snapdragon chip available for Phone 3.

fun fact i contacted car pei on dm back in 2014 i showed him a phone design i had been working on i called symetium it was the first design it had a white light on the back but a metal back, the light was a way to replace those ugly antenna lines, he actually liked my design and told me not to give up so i keep wondering if i inspired the nothing phone as crazy as that sounds.

[@bottomfeeder12]

Flashing lights have been around for well over a decade. On BlackBerry’s you could actually adjust the color of the front facing light to determine if it was an urgent notification or not and control which types of notifications would give you that colored dot. I wish current smartphone manufacturers would incorporate the notifications more frequently. As with any forked android flavor…how is file management on it??

Yes I have a tempered glass screen protector fitted as well as the case (hence after a good 2, 3 or even 4 years of use, my phones physical condition are always, well, mint. So having a very thin strip of addressable LEDs all around the front screen (it IS possible to do), or, if not all around the screen 'L' shape on each corner COULD VERY WELL be used in the same manner - Count down timer, notifications, Uber arrival time, Charging % status and many more manufacturer/software developer ideas abound! PLUS, for those (I don't), that do a lot of selfies/front camera video recording, it could be also used for a ring lighting for videos! So COME ON NOTHING! PLEASE think about it! There are a lot of us out here that WOULD LOVE a feature like this! Especially for the masses out there that DO put cases on their phones and don't like laying their phones face down, and want a SIMPLE solution to lighting whilst takingselfies/videos etc! 🤞 I HOPE Nothing DOES this in a future version like the Nothing Phone 3 or 4 etc! 🤞 😎🇬🇧

"unbashable digital interface - moments that remind you why you started watching Mr Mobile

[@jaewannjoseph]

I look forward to your review of EVERY device, amazing.

[@rolins3279]

There is someone today who pointed out to me that the gliph on the back of the Nothing (if we exclude the exclamation mark at the bottom), looks like an apple 🍏 😅

[@alpertwang4003]

At 4:58, I thought it was the microphone hole?

[@LawByStan]

About the hotspot, Android 13 now allows you to set it to automatically turn off after one minute if not in use.

[@TJKoopa3018]

Ah, Nothing. I think if they had come around before foldables were fully established, I think it would have been more of a splash for the industry as a whole. The Nothing Phone 1 was already a delightful design and the 2 really fleshes it out a bit more, although the “interface” in Glyph Interface is arguably lacking. But it’s nice that the software design is more defined this time around. I hope one day Nothing can afford to make a foldable. But even your candy bar phone reviews are a joy.

[@Riccardo_Mori]

Just when I was considering getting a Nothing Phone (1), the (2) comes out, and frankly it really looks like a significant upgrade. Great review as usual, Michael! Cheers, //Rick

[@igiveupfine]

man, my first cell phone had something like the glyphs. that was about 20 years ago. it was a nice little custom thing that no other phone ever had. i really wish it's customizable little LED light strip, other phones had. it was my little thing i could program and set to do whatever at many of its settings. glad to see it's come back. a shame it likely costs a lot. such a tiny thing that could mean and help a lot.

[@whatsbestnow]

Was it a Panasonic? I recall I had a slim Panasonic candy bar phone that had something but I could be muddled

[@igiveupfine]

@@whatsbestnow i got it in maybe 2005. it wasn't a candybar one. it was a flip one. dark blue and gray/dark gray styling, had the led strip on top and bottom section, led strip was orange. it also had one big handle that went across the whole top/back/width of it. screen might have even only been........like 1980's digital watch. not even the newer, full color one all phones have now. because i remember being impressed when someone at school had a full color cell screen for their flip phone. so pretty sure this one was still.........the older/cheaper "black and white" original LCD that digital watches had for years. maybe i'll just try and call my cell carrier tomorrow. maybe they'll know what phones we bought. the first 10 or so, we all got for renewing our contracts. maybe their database still knows.

As I've said many times, IF Karl Pei/Nothing would make the Nothing phone with LEDs mounted in the bezels (around the screen), either a full loop around, or even 'L's on each corner, then HELL YES I WOULD buy that phone! If you've watched Zacks video (JerryRigEverything) on teardowns/or even that time he counted each of the LEDs, you'll see that each of the LEDS are mounted in a THIN 2 LED wide and however many long, per strip. So, mounting a 1 LED by however many long COULD be done because that LED strip WOULD be THINNER!

The updates Nothing OS almost wants to make me come back from my full customised Nigara Launcher

[@tornike550]

Hey @MrMobile, would you consider reviewing DSLRs or any other upcoming photo cameras in the future? Your takes on new tech are entertaining and informative as always, would love to see more of you. Thank you for your content!

[@MagazineBrian]

Love the hair man!

[@SlipknotRevan]

Have you thought about reviewing the zenfone 10? I'd love to hear your take on it since you already have a couple zenfone reviews.

[@Gary0557]

Certainly not a phone I'd buy, but another first class video from Mr. Fisher.

[@fatproduce]

I am curious how much if a downgrade the camera processing is between my Note 20 Ultra and the Nothing Phone 2. Lacking the telephoto excluded.

[@petersoneugene4383]

People can listen to you just to release stress! You're voice is so relaxing! As well as your words choices and their combinations! Weird to say but true !😅

[@JF-vt4ve]

always love your music selection

[@acefan2trekninja]

Always love your reviews. I'm having trouble finding the Star Trek themes that you reference in your videos.

[@elishachua6263]

4:39 Love the strap on that watch though! Is that a Galaxy Watch, and what is the brand of the strap?

[@q3b26]

Every time I walk past the Nothing store in London's Soho, I want to buy everything from there. I think it's the nostalgia from the late 90s/early 00s transparent tech phase. Give it another generation or two when I'm due to upgrade from my current iPhone 12 Pro Max and I can see this being the phone that draws me back to Android.

[@newecreator]

The title of the video made me think that I have 2 notifications which I haven't. Anyway, the phone looks just as nice as the Nothing Phone (1). I am glad it does come in white.
