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

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

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.

Totally , it makes such a difference to me

*struck

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

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

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

Plastic? Apple did that with the 5C haha

@@fayysalhilal1840 They did, you're right - and I remember it was rather popular. But it didn't stick around for some reason.

U mean like a premium feels plastic. Zenfone way of doing this is gold

Yup glass back sucks

​@@fayysalhilal1840How is the 5C relevant here when there's still plastic phones in production today, and plastic phones in production before 5C?

bro scam 😂

​@@samsaraatigeryes wtf why are they botting

As a phone 1 user we definitely not going to buy anymore nothing product, seems like you doesnt know about phone 1 a14 update drama huh

Who cares everyone uses a case anyways

​@@montyvr6772transparent cases:

​@@montyvr6772but atleast the user can feel like they are buying a new phone which the company worked for some time and put in some effort... Unlike the other companieswho sell the same design for HALF A DECADE.😂We all know who they are, both of the top companies 😂

The design is so ugly.

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

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

amen! My biggest gripe

​@@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.

​​​@@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.

Small company? I hope you're kidding

that isn't a small company it has taken quite a bit of market here in India

Old CEO of One plus and calling him small comany. One plus is in every big provider store nearb. He is just boring and want new challenges.

small compared to Apple or Samsung

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

oh yeah it is

I test to the S20FE, This phone pure dogwater. I have it in my hands and i wanna chuck it into the wall. The screen has sensitivity issues on like every 3rd reboot. It used to be so bad, its like playing russian roulette, you cant even keyy in the pattern on lock because of it. Every other thing too, how jittery samsung ui is

Whats AWT22W ?

yup, better than mrwhosetheboss, good job MB!

What are the other 9?

wait until you realize that this is what MKBHD in 2024 already. he just sell stuff.

Applaud looks weird

What's special about the intro? It was pretty basic tbh

@@brokeguy5607honestly mate, it’s easy to criticize, but very difficult to build things,.. a lot of effort went into creating that sequence…

@@brokeguy5607 basic?? if so basic then why other review channel doesnt have such crisp b roll?

@@miru2583 Cos it's not as important as you're making it out to be. An intro doesn't make your video better, the actual content of the video does. Nobody cares about a 5 second intro.

That plastic back is definitely a buy. I gave glass back phone for the past few year abs I am sick of babysitting a fragile yet heavy $1000 brick in my pocket.

Samsung is pushing the limits with foldables

They outsourced their design though. But yeah very good results

go away bot.

Awful cameras though

It's also ahead of Snapdragon when it comes to heating under stress load; not to worry though, Samsung has still got Mediatek beat in this department.

​@@DarthLala106you forgot about new iPhone chip that was cooking food with there heat.

@@Lightyagami-tx2xb That was not the fault of the chip, but one of optimisation, which has been mostly fixed. On the other hand, whichever chip Samsung fabrications touch, go straight to hell. Tensors are under-powered to avoid heating, while Exynos are dumped into Asian Markets with heavy markdowns.

My chromebook has a mediatek cpu. It's not bad!

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.

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.

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! :(

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.

Hi vidiq

I noticed too it says s23 ultra but says snapdragon 8 gen 3 guessing it's suppose to be s24

That's right

lol no way. iPhones all at least are extremely powerful. This is not.

@@zethloveless7238I mean yeah, last gen flagship chip put in a 7 year old body sure is fast, but is overall a worse package. OP does have a foul comparison, I'd argue more that the A54 is the Android to a midrange iPhone with it's glass back and all that, or Pixel 7a with good cameras, wireless charging and a flagship SoC is, but overall the NP2a is just a slightly better phone than the SE3 when you look at the average score in every compartment.

He is paid by Nothing. I think he has an investment there or something similar to that. Lots of RU-vidrs do

@@LHSlashso he should compare this 350$ to a 1000$ phones?its not like the guy didnt showcase the CONS of the phone too...i wont buy it myself cause i convinced me by the performance stuff he said...so its a good review😊

I intentionally watched MKBHD's video first because it looked like Arun was going to be present a negative review.

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

Arun just grilled the phone like it's a flagship

I was looking for this comment 😅

I knew that but I didn't notice lol

Same so idk if the typo is the s23 part or the snapdragon part?

@@bojidarmartinov5949 according to nanoreview database, benchmark results are closer to gen 3, so the typo in the s23 part.

Exactly. I was looking for this comment.

The company 'Nothing', right, not 'nothing'? lol

They do ship to Australia now

Not the only person, but not a lot of people. As a person who uses their phone a lot to watch media, I love my phone having a big screen.

I wish there were more 6.1

I do a lot of reading and watching RU-vid content on my phone, so I prefer bigger screens.

@@beerdemus2812 6.4" is already a large screen found on car dashboards. That's my point.

For a lot of people phones are their primary devices so of course they want a big screen to watch media and play games
