I went from a 7 Pro to Nothing 2 at launch and I've been generally impressed. My reasons for switching were the anemic battery charging speeds and lackluster battery life of the Pixel. Top 3 gripes after months of usage: I miss the camera more than I thought I would. The lack of AptX HD/LDAC support as I have both current Sony XM5 models. Herky jerky switching between cell service/non-cell service situations. Pleasant surprise: The fingerprint sensor on the Nothing 2 seems to be head and shoulders than the one on the 7 Pro.
@@bpotato3310The camera array on the Pixel Pro is better than the one on the Nothing Phone 2. In particular, the telephoto lens which the Phone 2 doesn't even have. But beyond that there's also the special processing that Google employs on their first party phones. Taking photos on the Phone 2 isn't bad at all, just (understandably) not as good as the phone that takes arguably the best photos of all phones on the market. I knew this would be the case going in and I still stand by the decision. But the gap in photos is more noticeable than I thought it would be.
@@bpotato3310Nothing is not yet at Samsung/Oppo/Pixel level when it comes to camera in an android device. You buy this if you have a decent camera or Pixel/Samsung for camera.
Quite a good review, the one you can definitely trust. I was always convinced that it's a very good phone but unfortunately it launched on a steep price in India and didn't sell well. However it's was on festive offers and I got it about ₹36000 USD430 12/256 GBs. Except Camera its way better than iPhone 15 or pixel 8. Software experience is too good n even battery lasts 24 hrs straight. Camera is acceptable to most does the job unless someone want to post every pic on Instagram.
Yes, you can go for it. It's a solid build I am satisfied with all the features. I was little skeptical about camera when ordered but it exceeds my expectation. Now the price got discounted in India. Definitely a good buy.
I would say Nothing Phone has least lag on games, and I’m not going to argue that the Pixel doesn’t have a better camera, but the camera on Nothing Phone is solid. I use it to record b-roll close ups on a lot of my videos.
I have a question about phone calls. How about the speaker? Is it loud enough in your opinion? Right now I have iPhone 13 Pro Max and I am thinking about switching to Nothing. Maybe I should wait until Phone 3 will be presented?
I'm using nothing phone 1 and i just love it. I bought it as soon as it was launched. I wanted to get pixel 7 but it was just too pricey at that time. Maybe in future I'll get pixel series as I've never owned one. Current pixel 8 is all about AI.
@@rythmater yea it's true many ai features cannot be used in day to day life. Only a person staying in a non English country would use it to translate on a daily basis.
Here in Sweden the P8 Pro is twice(!) The price of the phone (2).. the Phone (2) is priced like a TON better than the P8 Pro. Nothing must have used dark magic to get the UI/OS running so damn smooth! The animations are fantastic as well. I sold my iPhone 15 Pro for the Phone (2) (the iPhone 15 Pro costs around 2.5 times the Phone (2) here in Sweden.. Battery Life is fantastic as well. The only thing that i find worse are the cameras. But other than those i would pick a Nothing Phone any day of the week before a Pixel (ive owned and loved several Pixels).
