Has the Nothing Phone 2 lived up to its hype or is it just a nicely designed phone with a bunch of useless gimmicks? We’ll answer that, walk you through the top features of the phone, downsides, and our ultimate recommendation on if the Nothing Phone 2 is worth it.
Specially we’ll walk you through our thoughts around the phone’s glyph interface, arguably its most signature feature, the screen quality, battery life, mic quality, camera system, some issues we ran into, how the phone’s camera system compares to the Pixel 8, and Nothing OS and what differentiates it from a lot of other versions of Android out there.
