fr the price is just right

the price is great even on the NP2 same stats as the s24 but half the price, at least on black friday

Not really. That chip is mediocre at best. Camera seems mediocre too. Any redmi is a lot more vfm than this.

Thank you for making a comment that actually pertains to the content. The bots and like farmers are driving me crazy.

Ahh nah

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

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.

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

First like😂

Go on and buy it

Buy it

Buy it twice

thrice

Need! 😂

@collller huh??whts ur point my guy??

I realised that too

I dont get it

Should've said "Geoglyphical!".

He probably meant "nothing" but editors did something else

I feel like it's more him not coming up with a witty enough word that fit within the context of the video he's recording, hence the longer pause before saying said word

Usually, it's something in reference to what he's reviewing, in this case; Nothing

It does, but then so does calling it before he says it. We have all become in tune with the puns!

Yes I've missed this. I hope more phone companies go back to that

​@@rainy5517what are you even talking about? Phones have tried and have been trying innovations.. Like flip and folds. Like packing an entire proper camera on a phone. People who just keep repeating the same it was better before" come across as retar ds

Oh really? How different are the designs of say, iphones 12 to 15 ? And Samsungs 22 ultra to 24 ultra? I can go on to give sooo many more examples but it's just a waste of time.. gone are the days when you can really feel you're paying for a "new" phone... ​@@JohnMarston-sf1vk

Buy it!

Buy it lil bro

You won’t buy it and if you do you really want to you just want clout

He'll buy nothing, nice one 😂

​@@zackchamberlain2371 He didn't lie, he will buy nothing, which is what he did

Buy it wooo!!

Yea probably better to be able to set when to be notified, like you have a back to back meeting but you need 10m to change room or building if you only have a 5 min one it is too late

He's just a paid apple fan boy and sees any other brand as garbage. That's his reality.

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.

Cause it's the same Carl pei

They've never had "crazy good value"

Deep down they just want to get some quick bucks by being unique. That's business at its best ........

@@justamanofculture12 whatever, they aren't screwing customers with overpriced garbage like Samsung or Apple. The Nothing Phone 2a kind of cannibalizes the Phone 2 by having the same cameras and display. But still, it's an achievement at the price.

Is it difficult to remember what each glyph means?

​@@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

How's the camera?

@@aaravnagpal6469i feel like once you use it a little bit it wont be hard to remember. the flashing combinations might be more hard to remember though

​@@aaravnagpal6469i have a phone(1) and I just use it zo tell me I got an important notification while gaming and studying. It's really nice, cuz if you're focused on your work the phone won't even ding. Then when you're done you can see if you got anything important with the essential glyph and check it. It has helped me bring down my ost tremendously

Good question

thanks lol

my phone used to have that but it got nerfed by an update.

Yeah just put it on some of the budget phone

Reminds me of early Oneplus .

me too i regret geting my pixel 6 now

Just install an icon pack

@@Anonymous-st1vk it goes beyond that. They've customized the whole UI. I'd love to see that from the competition

Honestly at any category. Why do so few phones have it still! haha

Software is a pretty good gimmick​@@manniefaces

Just consume the product and get excited for the next product

​@@Umar_Akmal_PAK96 Jesse what the hell are you talking about

Agreed, brownlee is just a marketing machine for apple and tesla imo

​ @bbilabass and he has shown multiple times that his knowledge is quite limited compared to other tech youtubers

​@@bbilabass It is precisely why I unsubscribed from him as he doesn't seem as knowledgeable as other tech youtubers in specific niches such as audio and VR

Umm Strange Do you even own a nothing phone?

I had a stroke reading this and fucking died

You nail it 😁

@@IchchhitKhatriwho cares

I’m in the hospital after reading this dawg

I would give an app for us or support with Tasker to customise to our liking. It could be done pretty easily if they want

sS nail it with the cameras. I'm not wasting $$$ on something that will be beat by the Pixel 7A.

Why Do You Speak Like This Also The Entire Point Of The Glyphs (Not "Gliffs") Is So You Don't Have To Look At Your Phone Screen My Hand Hurts From Typing This Now

Me too it’s very useful on my s9

please tell me you havn't made her an insta already.

Maybe don’t let your 5 year old get on youtube I got on the internet around that age and I was supervised but it still didn’t go well so from a former child take the advice,attention spans sure aren’t getting any longer

I meant 15

Worst camera phone

@@sreelathabaiju3418 camera is decent. A little over average. It's not marketed as a camera phone anyway.

But how has it performed over the years? I want to buy a phone that would last me 4 years minimum, focus is on the endurance rather than pure performance per price

F3 is really great. Still using it. Sure, there are no official uodates but u cab still use xiaomi eu or custom roms. The development from the community is insane and u can use the phone for a long time

@@starliner2498 I still have the POCO F2 and still performs really well even for flagship games.

Much smaller battery, much worse camera, similar cpu but 7nm chipset vs 4nm in nothing so big difference in efficiency, and obviously the notorious Poco software.

@@tombreproduction9519 there will be harmony os update presumably. However it still sucks how quickly xiaomi dropped support, especially when F4 is basically the same phone.

I agree Like samsung flip 5

Or just use a glance screen/notification borders/notification dot feature on the display without needing to turn it face back to see the LEDs. The entire concept is just for looks and to be different, but lacks substance.

So I need a screen to tell me to look at my other screen

@@akidnamedshivam Yeah we live in a weird world bro. People trippin.

or add lighting effect on side buttons like power volume button

That would just introduce a new marketing "hack" for companies !

Correct 100%

IT HAS A NICE COSMETIC DESIGN THAT MAKES ME THINK OF ASUS.

And not overpriced like an iPhone

Exactly

Although the whole functionality on the software side can be done just by downloading a different launcher on any android phone.

Share your rooted tweaks

@@relaxx4917 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.

I still got the 1 so glad they added music visualization to it :)

Wait people still root in 2024?!
