Nothing phone (2) / Nothing Phone 2 / Nothing Phone Two

Great, modern design Glyph lights are cool and useful Clean, yet customizable software Excellent daytime camera Colorful screen

Only IP54 water resistance Poor lowlight camera performance

“The Nothing Phone 2's eye-catching design and cool Glyph lights are just the beginning, as the screen, performance, and camera all impress too.”

Unique glass design with Glyph UI, IP54-rated.

No high refresh rate gaming; some GPU throttling may occur.

But if you do, or you just want a breath of fresh air, an innovation of sorts in an otherwise boring market, the Nothing Phone (2), or (1), will not disappoint you. On the contrary, the Phone (2) offers a thoughtful pick of features with a pinch of...

Refined & lightweight design with unique aesthetic ; Distinctive software visuals & features ; Glyph lights aren't just a gimmick ; Strong performance & battery life

Cameras won't outsmart Google Pixel ; Glyph lights won't be for everyone ; Price jump over original Phone (1)

The Nothing Phone (2) impresses threefold: first it's so comfortable to hold and use, with a distinctive design; two, the improvements to everyday essentials, such as battery life and screen quality, are a real mark of quality; third, it adds a dollop...

Premium feel ; Unique Glyph light system ; Snappy performance

Poor camera quality ; Glyph lights can be distracting

Trying to be more intentional in how you use your phone? The Nothing Phone (2) will have a certain appeal, thanks to its slick software and Glyph indicator lights. But its mediocre camera may be a deal-breaker.

Super smooth performance. Lovely screen. Good battery life. Slick and well-designed software with nifty features. Three Android OS upgrades and four years of security updates. Glyph lights are more useful (and fun) but still mostly gimmicky. Includes...

The Pixel 7A is cheaper and has better cameras. Lots of chromatic aberration. Not supported on Verizon. Only IP54 water resistant.

Light strips are a neat design touch ; Useful always-on display with customizable info ; Good four-year software support policy

Only splash-resistant ; Not certified on Verizon

The Phone 2’s whole deal would be a little tiresome if the device itself wasn’t good. That’s not the case. This is a thoroughly good midrange phone, and it’s trying to do something a little different. I appreciate that. I just don’t think it’s for me —...

Refined unique aesthetic ; Premium feel in the hand ; Nothing OS 2.0 is gorgeously productive ; Glyph lights are actually useful…

…but may still feel a little gimmicky to some ; Raw power doesn’t match its competition ; Possible problems for people with epilepsy ; Glass back is a fingerprint and scratch magnet

The Nothing phone (2) is the true standout flagship phone I’ve been looking for. While the performance may not reach the lofty highs of the bleeding edge, you will love the retro-futuristic aesthetic across both hardware and software, the zippy speed,...

Great design with Glyph Interface ; Plenty of power ; Some nice OS tweaks

Camera performance not great ; Display autobrightness a bit dull

Bigger, bolder and more ambitious, the Nothing phone (2) has been revised and refined in its second-gen, designed to appeal to more buyers, although the camera still lags behind.

Pros: ; – Great design ; – Superb build quality ; – Bright and vibrant display ; – Tons of customisation option ; – Solid performance ; – Great battery life ; – Very capable cameras ; – Glyph interface that now comes with a ton of functionality

– Glass back is very slippery ; – Only has IP54 water resistance ; – Low-light photography can be a hit or a miss

It’s really difficult not to recommend the Nothing Phone 2 to anyone who is looking for a smartphone at the Rs 45,000 price point. I will go as far as to say that if you can spare the cash, and can move your budget up by Rs 5,000, then do it, you won’t...

Improvements everywhere ; Good, solid cameras ; Awesome software ; Fun design

Some weird software choices ; Double the price of its predecessor
