I love this phone. Super responsive. I have had no problems playing games, running multiple tasks for work. The flip to glyph works great. Finger print reader has never failed me and I have let multiple people try to unlock the phone. The company looks really interested in supporting this device and its community.
Me encantó el teléfono, 10 de 10 –
Me encanta su diseño, teléfono de alta gama

I’ve been a Samsung user for the last 14 years. Recently, I was getting tired of them. I wanted something different. But I couldn’t find anything that stood out to me. It’s all just big greedy corps reusing designs and ideas, and demanding a fortune from you. With all these big companies, everythings made to break, everything’s automated, everything is so bland.
Then I found Nothing. The events leading up to its creation was intriguing. I was looking up reviews on this phone and stumbled upon the Nothing YouTube channel. And what sold me to this brand was the fact that the CEO made a video reacting to reviews of his own product! What CEO does that? It’s awesome!
Enough about the company itself. Now for the phone. I had purchased the 512GB 12RAM version simply because I wanted the best Nothing could offer. Yet it was still one of the lowest prices I’ve paid for a phone. It’s smooth, it lacks bloatware, decent camera, wonderful screen with great colors. And the battery life? Oh my god. More like the battery with nine lives. The “Almost two-day battery life” thing they throw out there could not be more true. You CANNOT KILL THIS BATTERY it’s unreal. I drive a lot for work and use gps for hours at a time. And I’ll come home after a 10 hour day and my phone still has 60-70% battery left. It’s actually crazy. The Glyph display on the back is cool. It definitely turns heads. Me, personally, a weird guy, I don’t know if I see much useability with it other than it making a nice fill light for the camera or a flashlight. It’s actually really cool to use it that way. But..I personally never been a fan of flashing lights. But that’s just me!! I can definitely see other people loving them! You also have the quick toggle to turn them off if you’d like too. Cant love it, can’t hate it either!
If I could list any cons, it’d probably be the lack of expandable storage, lack of water resistance, and headphone jack. (yea I’m one of those guys that still won’t let it go lol). Even though I have the half terabyte version, id still like the option at least. Id trade the dual sim for a single sim and SD card slot. I hate that phones are trying to make these features “obsolete” because they’re not.
Nothing is also constantly pushing out major updates on the monthly! Always coming with a long detailed list on the improvements in the software, especially with the camera(s)! As I type we are on Nothing OS 2.5.2. and it’s better than ever!
In conclusion, it’d say it’s something you can’t go wrong with. I absolutely love this phone, I’ve had it for a month now, it’s been great. I cannot wait to see what this company has for us in the future!
Thanks for Nothing!

After dropping OnePlus due to the horrible Color OS implementation, going over to Nothing seemed like the logical next step. Everything we loved about OnePlus is here with an added, well-designed skin. For those who don’t want the monochrome design – you can pretty much make this a stock device by using different widgets and icon packs without needing to install a new launcher.
While the performance is just ever-so-slightly slower than a device using the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, this is more than adequate for the vast majority of android users – especially after enabling developer settings and halving the animation times across the board.
Everything else has worked well without a hitch and the camera is perfectly fine for capturing those everyday moments. Size is on the larger side but the weight distribution is excellent.
Overall, this is a great buy for anyone who wants to stand out with their phone’s design without sacrificing any usability found on a flagship device.
IMHO –
Most experience in the last few years has been with OnePlus, so the Nothing Phone 2 was an interesting choice. The price vs specs consideration made it a no brainer. First impressions, very good. Snappy, great display. Still learning few ins and outs but am sure that navigation will become second nature quickly. Reviews say camera weak but my initial test shots are as good as I would expect from a flagship. Also criticism of speakers may be a bit overdone. Remembering it is just a phone–not full BT speaker system, I have zero complaints. Certainly as good as my OnePlus’s.

This phone is everything they said it is. Except it’s too big for my hand. I read the descriptions and the size comparisons, but there’s nothing like holding an object in your hand. The weight is acceptable. The dimensions are inches too big in length and width. To actually use this phone I would need both hands at times. I don’t have small hands. My current phone is 5.5 x 2.75 in. The Nothing 2 is larger in each dimension. And it’s very smooth without a case. You WILL need a charger designed for this phone. It doesn’t come with one. Charging from battery 0 to battery 100 took most of the day. Looks, features, software (OS) are excellent, but using this phone every day would not be enjoyable. So I returned it. I like what they’re thinking though.

Para ser mi primer teléfono de gama alta de entrada tiene las mejores prestaciones y la cámara se asemeja bastante a resultados de teléfonos de mayor gama, el sonido es bueno y la interfaz glyph es lo mejor.

It’s really annoying that the fingerprint scanner seems to only work about 1/10th of the time. Like, almost every single time I go to unlock the phone, I try 5 times to unlock it with my thumbprint before being forced to enter my pattern at the backup unlock. I’ve tried re-scanning to add it again so it has more “images” available to recognize my thumb in order to unlock more consistently, and it goes “a similar fingerprint is already saved” OH RIGHT SO NOOOOOW YOU CAN RECOGNIZE IT? lol. It really is such a major annoyance that it takes this from being a 5 star phone to maybe a high 3.5 rounded up to to 4. Like, super SUPER annoying taking 10+ seconds just to unlock my phone. REALLY annoying.
Everything else about it is fantastic. It’s such a shame that this is a big enough issue that I would hesitate to recommend the phone to anyone over it. Like this is even after washing my hands and thoroughly cleaning the screen, so I’m not convinced it’s anything to do with dirt/smears/smudges causing a bad scan. It’s just a really bad sensor.

So glad I went away from the big players and bought the Nothing 2. Fantastic phone that is powerful and has a very long battery life. Nothing phones from now on!

Good phone, totally worth the price , only competitor is pixel , but my pixel is not very good for games, pro version is more expensive. Design of nothing phone is flawless. Camera is good , not the best one

Just upgraded from a 6 year-old LG phone. This is my new favorite phone and favorite OS.
I’m still getting used to the phone. I can’t recommend it for everyone, as everyone has their own needs, but this phone handles all of my daily work tasks with ease and the battery goes for days (I don’t play videogames or watch YouTube or Instagram) and charges quickly.
Great purchase and will stay with this company for the time being.

It’s a direct link for Google to send you ads on, all day, all the time. I did so much research on this device before purchasing but it’s just filled with ads, popups, security issues and constant app alerts that only tell you when there is a promotion within the app. I’m referring to Nothing OS 2.0 base functions – fact is, this is just a other android which is nothing more than a direct ad platform for Google to advertise on. This is going back, I’m going back to my 100% ad and popup free iPhone.

Got it from the Nothing Amazon Store and after using it for almost a month, at the time of this review, I am very very satisfied with the phone. It is very well-built, has a handsome design, amazing battery life and a got an all-rounder camera (with a few limitations that does not matter in real world). The glyph interface, especially, is the headlining feature and everyone who sees it instantly thinks of it as a cool and very modern device in this world of so many smartphones with little to no difference from each other. But, this interface makes Nothing (2) stand out from the competition. That being said, the buying experience was very smooth and everything went as they displayed on the store’s page.
