The Nothing Phone 2 has a neat design, but it's really more about the software.

Always a vibe to watch MKBHD talk about Tech when I'm not buying anything
Well for me, anything from Nothing.
"always a vibe" God you're cringe.
Legit 😂
seen this comment on every tech video bruh
😂😂😂 say less
The reason they haven't fleshed out the notification abilities on the back of the phone is, they need to keep some enhancements for NEXT year's model.
Same thing I said
bro for real, they gotta hold back all the features
Fr How did i miss that. Give them enough to keep satisfied and enough flaws to crave.
That’s been a practice since, what, 2011-12? All the OEMs can afford to give a very good long term phone around the $400 segment. But that’ll eat up into the sales of their big $ flagships. Precisely why Apple operates ONLY in the premium space, where it has segmented the premium space itself.
That’s like apple’s modus operandum.
I love how the scene of your videos usually match the aesthetics of the product… I really appreciate that level of detail
@@SGN334 Perhaps, but I wouldn't be surprised if Marques thought of that since he has a seriously meticulous eye for detail.

@@cody7068 This isn't an Adin Ross or iShowSpeed video, go back to where you came from
@@cody7068stop you're embarrassing yourself, are you 12 ? 💀
Lol it looks the same .. who's complaining about that when look at apple and amazing for the most part.
I think Nothing Phone is starting to hit the right spots with their design features. Great choices so far and I feel if they evolve it right with more customisation features their phones will bloody stand out.
I really love the little UI tweaks and the ability to use a quick setting as a widget is crazy good
This has been a feature on most android phones for years well at least on my OnePlus and google phones that I've been using
@@bestofsaluteyeah, I saw that and thought back to Android 4.x days. Glad to see it's still around.
I have always searched for that feature in custom roms but never found it
This was done by Microsoft a long time ago in their windows phones.
@@bestofsalute copium + Ratio
It would have been so cool if the transparent nothing cable also showed the wattage being pulled when the phone is charged like MKBHD's favourite cable
That's definitely just a cost adding gimmick. I don't need to know the watt every time I plug in. It's not like a device pulls different wattages every time you plug it in.
a cost-adding gimmick in a Nothing phone? that would be a first
My brother got me that and it's super helpful. I thought it would be a gimmick but I find myself hunting for that. Great idea.
If you’re worried about your energy bill then I definitely would want that.
@@AbhishekKumar-vx9ub it actually does. The wattage depends on the battery's temperature while you're plugging your phone in. The phone will not always charge at its maximum wattage. Having a watt indicator is not a gimmick, those who say otherwise are definitely anything but tech savvy
Excelent analysis on the market side of things. Yes, a new brand must make it self known with a identity that people can recognise before adventuring a little bit outside of what they normally do. Very well done!
The delivery of your reviews MKBHD, are absolutely next level! Engaging from the first minute to the very end when you sign off "catch you guys on the next one"!! It's almost like you never want the video to end! Love your reviews man! I'm however still not quite sold on the Nothing phone 2...
Why are you not sold?
The notification light of old android phones was really cool. I'm glad Nothing is bringing that back in a way.
agree
i miss the colour specific LED on my old Galaxy S4, thats a feature i miss a lot
still using Samsung J7 and the notification light is just so useful!!
Not much use if it's on the back. Usually people leave their phones screen up on the table. The small LED on the front was still the best solution. Too bad everyone dropped it, but I guess it's just a matter of getting the max screen size so theres no space for it anymore.
If you want it back get Always On Edge, imo i like the look of multicolor notification leds better but AOE gives the same functionatility...
The way they have tailored their OS is outstanding.
They have hired ex OnePlus staff and focused more on the software than Phone(1).
“Outstanding” seems pretty exaggerated to me
@@cosmiuz2246 Not really. It's a fair statement compared to other companies' lack of innovation in the GUI.
it's clean and simple
It is until it gets ruined by colourful standard app icons.
Its amazing how Full of Engergy and the FRESH vibe you have to this video. It felt different. In a NICE way. Its a testament to your love of Tech that after all these years, the curiosity and the excitement we can see in you while reviewing a new and exciting product. May the force be with you always.
7:14 Ilike how the studio light is parallel to the notification glyph.🧡
There is a lot of potential with the design they are going for, because almost nobody else except ROG has experimented with the exterior lighting, which could become really useful with photography and low light conditions where a normal flashlight might be too much. It's also incredible how far they have progressed with their software, and their mentality as a smaller phone company is really refreshing to see in this age of constant upcharging for non-existant upgrades. Excited to see where they go with this!
Razer also, I do miss that RGB logo as a party trick. One of my favorite phones I've owned
nothing phone 2 doesn't seem that exciting at all....dont know why....it just does not click....from cameras to design to even software...i feel like is it something i need or something i even want for 599!...i cannot understand who this phone is for!!i feel like this is an entire gimmick upgrade cycle...cameras need to improve a lot....and why the hell does it keep getting bigger!...even in software the little things that are give to us....is it even worth it!!...do we need that?...i think a decent midranger would do much better than this...maybe moto edge 40 series, pixel series, iqoo 7 series or even samsung a series....even the charging cable was a scam...make the tip transparent doesnt make it a transparent cable!!
@@DemonSlayer-vh8uythis is bait
@@DemonSlayer-vh8uy shhhh
The glyphs are a neat gimmick but they’re kind made obsolete by AOD imo.
Nothing is a small company, which means that these kinds of software bugs at launch are pretty much expected. But they have a great track record of releasing software updates to fix bugs and make improvements. I’d love to see a 3 month or 6 month review down the road
It's weird he doesn't go this deep when reviewing Apple iPhone
@@ElvisChibundu little changes, less to talk about lol
Already happy with the software support for my Ear (2)s. Those buds has made me more interested in owning a Nothing phone, but they would definitely need better cameras for that to work for me as I take a lot of pictures.
@@Blob8879 Yea you're getting buggy software that's been a problem since iOS 15
@@ElvisChibunduhe talks about what he thinks is important to a given product's target demographic
Thanks for your honest review on this Marques... I may also be reviewing this as well soon.
I have the Nothing Phone 1 and after an year of using it I'm happy with it. The things I dont like in it, are the location of the buttons and finger print reader. The lock button and sound buttons are located at equal height, so when a grab my phone and press the lock button , often my hand press the sound buttons as well, which generate a screenshot. The finger reader, could just be better, but its not a bug issue. All other stuff are fine and consider the price tag and the nice design which definitely stands out I think it is a good buy.
That intro, was just an even higher level than the usual mkbhd intros, amazing stuff
It’s actually unreal
It was better than the companies own camera work.
So what? People come to hear ACTUAL honest, not to admire a light show and his editing prowess. Big deal - editing flash and glitz is invisible these days.
@@unlokiayknow a lot of people actually do come to admire his editing prowess, I mean look at the top comment - it's evident of what I'm talking about
@@unlokia Speak for yourself
9:41 "I haven't seen this bug in any other phone camera in years" I see what you did there, Marques. 😂
What he did there I'm curious
@@randomstorm1973 The bug
@@randomstorm1973look what’s on screen when he says it
yeah, everyone saw the literal bug, he didnt try to hide it.
Yeh now I understand
I really love what this company is about, great concept. Love the review
You guys nailed the Dot-matrix with the mesh background bit!🔥👊🏿
The resizable icons remind me so much of my windows phone. Yeah it's not the same, but my brain was always satisfied by having more important apps be bigger and smaller ones be tucked away. I'd love a skin that emulates that more thoroughly.
This! Finally!
Such a basic and great idea that’s underutilized.
Use the launcher square home, paly with the settings is pretty dead on with extra features
Optional snapping and dynamic sizes rather than just lg/xl would be slick. If I want to break free from normalcy and have my icons look wild, all over the place, and all various sizes, that should be up to me. That sort of freedom would be top notch.
Ugh I miss live tiles and windows phone. Would still be up to date today. The lack of apps really killed it.
I really like the retro-futuristic aesthetics of this phone. It looks like a modern take on the iPhone 4 (one of Apple's most gorgeous industrial designs IMO)
How does it look like an iphone 4? To me it shares more in common with the transparent-back Xiaomi Mi 8 or HTC U12+, phones from 2018. Not old enough to be retro, not innovative enough to be futuristic. ASUS and others have already taken the approach of slapping programmable LEDs on the back of a device (on their laptops), so that doesn't seem like much of an advance there, either. Which isn't to say I don't like the device, but it seems to be going more for "character", like Marques pointed out, and not doing anything particularly disruptive.
@@zivzulander I think they're just talking about the iconic shape
@@AbhishekKumar-vx9ubthe shape is a metal and glass slab, pretty much like every other phone out there. If they are referring to the flat metal sides, yes, that's reminiscent of the iphone 4 but that's about it. There isn't Apple-like chamfering, the cameras don't have a similar layout, and the back is completely different. You might as well compare it to the HTC One, which at least was an Android phone. To me it's like comparing a modern car to the Ford Model T: sure, you have the same basic idea of 4 wheels and a boxy-ish shape that carries people, and most people will understand the reference, but I'm not seeing much of a resemblance otherwise.
1. It is not at all retro futuristic. 2. It looks nothing like an iPhone 4.
@@AbhishekKumar-vx9ub Thanks for interjecting on my behalf. I'm not going to engage with the other replies. Geez. Some people just enjoy being toxic & combative. (Please let them stay off Threads.) I glanced at the transparent/white Nothing Phone (2) and took note of the general shape, back cover, and side bezels, while viewing a few Shorts about the Glyph interface. The first thought that popped into my head was, "If I were evaluating abstract art, I'd say that piece looks like it's clearly influenced by & borrowing liberally from Apple's iconic era of iPhone 4 design language for styling (and iPhone 5 to a lesser degree) , while utilizing current or even futuristic tech (the updated Glyph LED functionality.)" Maybe the vibe of being an homage - to Jobs & Ive's early Apple iPhone collaboration - comes across better with the choices made for the transparent/white variant, or maybe not. It's okay if other people feel like it looks nothing like any OG iPhone from the annals of history, and more like another phone entirely (from a more recent year.) Art is subjective. I said what I said!
I appreciate the monochromatic theme of your video Matching the monochromatic theme of the morning phone. Cool
Dude, been following your content from 2012 and I am amazed how much you have grown! Hard work and dedication pays off.
All I want is a software update not for 2 years but at least 4 years this gives a lot of value and flexibility.
in nothing for only two years?
@@egorbodrov4283 Nothing provides 3 years of software update, and 4 years of security update.
Did he mention this in the video?
@@inderjit3125 No, but the company tweeted it.

The home screen icon size and widget features reminded me of the good old windows phone :)
World wasn't ready for Windows phone back then. Those phone was ahead of its time...
Oh that's right! I loved that yellow Nokia! Too bad Microsoft got into mobile so late and finally threw in the towel on that OS...

Another amazing review covering what matters. My concern is I live in Florida and overheating phones can be a problem. If it's only while wireless charging, leaving it in the car for an hour or two while at the beach won't be q big issue but i use my phone as a ln alarm like most people, so if it stops charging, no big deal. However if it gets hot enough to shut down, I won't be waking up on time. Hoping it stops charging while it cools and not a full shut down.
Marques you are the king of reviews. You nailed the two most important things, however, I love hearing people bang on about how good their phone camrea is (and it's rated best in market, etc...), and then watch them take a photo and rarely (if ever) clean the lens.
This level of honesty and transparency needs to be a standard. Appreciate the content.
I appreciate the black and white colour theme of the whole video. It's the little things in mkhd videos that make them so good
This was very helpful. Thank you 🙏❤️
Quality review as always! I kinda like that phone, i might try it next time.
the bug you mentioned at 9:42 is not that rare actually, commonly known as "dragonfly".
XD
😂
Just love the classy touch you have from other tech reviewers. You the best Marques.
I think this company is on a really great trajectory. Nothing too wild (ugh omg it's almost impossible lol) just about everything you want considering the great price and the style is great. It's unique but not so much so that the ui is unrecognizable. It's just right. I will for sure be keeping an eye on them!
I saw 3 review Videos for Phone 2. You have commented the exact same thing on all 3 different channels. How much did the company pay you to do this?
😂😂
BOT
I’m sure the manufacturers of the Nothing phone are overwhelmed with joy that *‘VibnWavez’* from youtube comments is “keeping an eye on them!” 😐
@@hrm-fn8ui it's most probably a bot or a really, really big fan of Nothing and Carl Pei
i love the way the software looks. the LED lights just add to the effect. Not too expensive like most good $1000 phones these days.
true, the software is indeed a step ahead. what's even more interesting is that there are just 7 people behind this
To adjust the haptics strength of the keyboard, you can do that in the keyboard settings. Once you go into the settings, under preferences, scroll down to vibration strength on keypress. From there, you can change it between 0ms to 100ms.
You work at Nothing? Edit: I'm not being sarcastic 😂
@@thanos879It’s the same on a Google Pixel
it's too weird that brownlee don't know how to adjust vibration strength in Google keyboard settings
Phone(2) owner, yeah it sounds that simple but the issue seems to lie somewhere software related as the keyboard haptics seem to vary incredibly differently compared to say the haptics when you're receiving a phone call. The keyboard is quite possibly the only time it is as loud as it is.
@@karimvideo1maybe he just didn't remember. it took me a while to remember the setting as well.
After the launch of Nothing Phone 2 I clearly understood one thing it actually OnePlus 2.0 and in this era of OnePlus actually being oppo 2.0 I feel Nothing was the something we needed very badly....😅
The Nothing phones just look so fun. I was picking a new phone and I had to fight with myself to buy a Samsung for utility purposes against this one. If I were still in undergrad I probably would have been thrilled to get this for the glyph design
it just looks so beautiful!
I will 100% buy a future nothing phone when they've made the camera flagship level
This would have been perfect opportunity to launch with perfect the camera for the price point keeping the current price. I find almost a dozen of phones with its current USP excluding the glyph. honeslty speaking glyph is good for non amoled screens. Most of the info can be done with always on display by keeping the phone screen upwards.
It's gonna be like $1800 by then lol
For that price with a top camera system it would have been interesting.
Nah. They should cater more for midrange territory and play safe since they are new. Don't want make the same mistakes like one plus. They were bent to be a flagship killer and look what happen when they fly to high.
Agree 👍🏽
I would love the glyph to be there on those bezels. It would be great to have that feature especially for those who don't keep the phone backside on top.
Thanks for the review.
It is possible to change the haptic strength for keyboard typing. Settings -> System -> Languages & input -> Virtual keyboard -> Gboard (assuming you're using Google's keyboard) -> Preferences -> Vibration strength on keypress. Then just adjust the strength to your liking.
I can only imagine the amount of work that you guys have put into that intro. Bravo marques and team 👏
11:50 love how he made sure they have green bubbles, love the phone drama lol
Mkbhd makes reviews seem like documentaries, amazing color, simplicity and helllaaaaa intresting
Glad I found this review. I gave me the nudge to grab this phone, and am very happy with it.
Some of the B roll in the video is truly incredible! Much props to the MKBHD team for continuing to improve. Giving me the old school Brandon Havard vibes
3:27 The reason you can't put quick settings as widgets is that you can often long press them for extra functionality, and yet for widgets you can't.
Still, having the option to put them as widgets would be nice.
@@reverseg5016 Yes, and for most of them long clicking doesn't do anything, and for third party ones, it will just go to the app-details or something like that.
😊
So just put a line under it or something for long press
@@cooliipie When would this line appears? If forever, takes space just for this...
Pre-ordered this phone and very happy with it after getting it a few days ago
My Galaxy S21 Ultra also have Glyph light but at the front. And it's pink. Amazing. Always notify me in the dark when AOD is on.
Marques is ALWAYS bringing high quality production and information! Great video man!
i'm loving what they are doing with this phone, it might not be for everyone but it definitely has character which is missing from a lot of phones nowadays
Been using the Nothing 2 mid range option since launch. Love this phone. Don’t use the glyph really apart from the flip silent mode which you don’t mention which is fantastic for work and quick distraction free (unless you want to be distracted). Also comparing euros to dollars without any conversions onscreen at the least? Such a media scaremongering tactic
Anyone noticed the uneven jump cut at 6:51 when Marques talked about uneven glue thing! Nice touch!
6:59 He was so excited to hold them that his hand's heptic motor started running.
The UI in the OS looks so unique, I really enjoy it!
How is that unique? Thats just like a google pixel ui on steroid. One UI is the one that unique.
@@randomdreamer1619 Naah, widget have so many unique tweaks imho.
53 seconds in and I’ve already liked this video right from the first point Marques explains! I know this is going to be a good review!
It amazes me how many fixes and updates I have received on the Nothing Phone 1. They care a lot about the consumer experience and I love it.
And if you think deep enough, you can almost ascertain who was behind OnePlus major operations when it started it's journey. Carl probably took a bunch of smart decisions leaving to OnePlus popularity if you think about it . Nothing is proving it now!!!😊
The other great thing is they don't lockdown the phone. I will always try to support a company that gives users the choice to unlock the bootloader
When you talked about the home screen feature in which you can make a setting into a widget really blew my mind 🤯 like it a really helpful feature
This just gave me a flashback to the Essential Phone…it had so much potential to make a significant impact during its time.
Nothing acquired leftover patents and staff from Essential and even uses the name for features in their skin, so this makes sense. Hopefully they do as good a job at updates and improving the computational photography of middling sensors
I loved my essential. The normal camera was such trash however. I had to replace it based on that alone.
@@freemandrew color photos did get to the acceptable range after about a year of updates... And the b&w sensor took some moody shots. I gave my ex one for xmas the year they came out and installed ported gcam, but by the following xmas, the system camera was close enough and less janky
@@dyscotopia They wont, I Studied carl pei modus operating long time ago... I am developer , and I was the one of the first adopters of onePlus, why I'm talking about OnePlus ? its because it was the same company run by Carl Pei, and Why i'm talking about carl pei? guess what ? Nothing Phone Company is founded by Carl Pei and he is the CEO. Now why I'm giving all this information? Well, if you don't remember, back in 2014 OnePlus made a partnership with CyanogenMod to include a better operating system and offer value to the open source community, but quickily after oneplus break records in sale, carl pei just decided that CyanogenMod was of no use, and started a fight with the cyanogenMod developers, so what he did ? he just threw buggy OxygenOS (which some ppl liked it) just because it was same thing as AOSP. After some time he just swapped oxygenOS for ColorOS, I mean color OS is not bad, but they did that to cut expenses as they have a third party company that manage colorOS. But what is the problem with that? Well, ColorOS doesnt even give the kernel source of their roms properly they are not open source community friendly. so Carl Pei is not even a bit interested in the open source community and I bet my a*s that after some time they will put color OS in the nothing phone too. So the modus operandis of Carl Pei is, Create a white label company, hire a third party company to do their phone, do some design that nerds will like (that you literally can do with any phone case) (not) develop a operating system, caliing it innovative(but you know next phones will use color os anyway) but if you look properly its just pure android with few extra features. Make a cheap phone ( one plus one, nothing phone ), make a second phone(oneplus two and nothing phone 2) (expensive with old specs), make a premium phone with premium price that you can get in any samsumg galaxy ultra on discount. Any coincidence or I need say more ? Don't buy nothing phone ever, its just scam.
@@teste-yh5dfI see you keep copy and pasting this -_-
Absolutely love the intro of this video.
I just ordered mine. I like the style of it, i like the design etc. I don't care about cameras that much (I'd use my canon for that lol). The battery time, the responsiveness and the design is important to me so I went with this. I love their design choise. I've been a Samsung lover for years now. But I just can't justify the insane prices of the new Samsung/iPhones. It's waaay overpriced. It's more than double this phone. So for me they were not interesting. As much as I love Samsung, we need more brands out there.
I switched from the Pixel 7 for this and I'm very impressed with it. Great software, great performance, amazing battery life and the cameras are more than good enough. Not once has the phone randomly shut off on me like my Pixel uses too. I'm very happy with this. Can't wait to see what Nothing does with the Nothing 3.
How is it so far?
Ok that intro was SICC. Well done team. The ZOOM in clarity during the camera section of the video. ABSOLUTE Chef's kiss. My goodness. I watched this on a 1440p 240hz PC monitor and YT has it set to "4k" and it was CRYSTAL. I loved it. Great review. Nothing is literally lining themselves up to be the OnePlus we all want in 2023. I respect it and can't wait for Nothing 3.
I miss the BlackBerry LED notification light. So glad someone is bringing it back in a modern phone
I don't know why phones can't just use some pixels to pulse a bright colored light, emulating an actual notification light. Oled screens can do this easily, just need the software to do so.

Been waiting for a long time for this
Really appreciate the honest feedback on this phone. I'll admit, I fell into the hype a bit and put in a pre-order for a Phone (2). I really hope that they continue to improve everything with updates throughout the life of the phone and give us a bit more control over the things mentioned here. Overall, still very excited to get my hands on my first new phone in 7 years!

@@josand3277 Huawei Honor 8. It's taken a bunch of drops and bumps. I do have a soft case for it that helps absorb those bumps. I've also replaced the battery once, which is tricky because it has rear glass that you have to soften the adhesive and remove with a heat gun. It's very slippery without a case. I've never cracked the screen. It's been a good phone that just didn't quit.

Your review about phone 2 makes a lot of sense than other youtubers ❤
Just the fact that at 0:23 he syncronized "Nothing Phone 2" with him in the video makes me admire the production and editing quality.
This phone with pixel cameras would be a no-brainer for me! Incredible production, btw!
THIS is the video I was waiting for. I saw a lot of other reviews, and there's a lot of GREAT reviewers out there, but MKBHD has a vibe that can't be beaten. There's also a lot of nitty gritties that Marques points out that others may miss.
Marques Brownlee is a salesman. There are far better reviewers out there.
Indians and their cringey ass comments challenge (impossible)
watch mrwhoosetheboss and see yourself change your mind, he has far superior content filled video and a better conclusion for each aspect of the phone, whereas marques has no concrete conclusion and goes over random details of the phone
@@sharzo7728best reviewer is Dave2D. The most succinct, the most emphasis on price to performance value, and often shows teardown and benchmarks
Yeah, everybody here has a radically different opinion. Guess that means I'll have to watch what I like, and not what random internet people recommend.
I'm just gonna guess, next year, nothing (3) will be unveiled with RGB on the back glyph, instead of just white like the first 2, then that allows more of a customization as you mentioned in the video @mkbhd great work, perfect video, thanks for this ❤
10:06 I believe that's the sound produced by the speakers and not the vibration motor itself.
I personally like the Phone 2. It might have a similar design to the Phone 1 but it still looks good and that is Nothing's identity. And oh the features!!!
beleive me- not worth it!

Same, my ROG phone 2 has hit upwards of 60°C, and not once have I gotten the "Phone is warm" notification
They brought over a Pixel feature 😂
Downside of having 2 layers of material on the back, heat gets trapped more easily
Nah its common if you use camera with direct sunlight to lots of phones but for wireless charging, its a new one
i hope they learn a lot and make better stuff in the future! I love this phones design
I love the look of this phone. The only thing that puts me off slight is the lack of IP68 coverage. Thanks for the review
9:03 “super mommy fitness”. Marquess knows what’s up
It's pretty easy to adjust the haptics on the keyboard. Go into your Google keyboard setting and click on preferences and u can change the vibration strength.
I had this issue already with the NP (1). Even on the lowest setting the vibration motor was too loud. I hoped that they would change this with the (2)but it seems to be still a problem.
@@jeromenguyen3367 yeah that's pretty annoying, some like it and some don't.
Not enough of an upgrade. Glad I bit the bullet and bought the #1 at a discount close to the launch of #2. And if the biggest difference is the software, it begs the question if (some of) that software will be ported to the Nothing Phone 1.
Thanks for the amazing review, I am loving the Nothing 2 its really good, and i got it in a good price, Haptic feedback in the keyboard has been solved just switch the sound off from the keyboard settings.
Just appreciating the small details Marques is putting efforts into, like in the beginning, the theme is set to black and white (hinting towards the Nothing OS 2 icon pack) and the magnetic lamp, which has a lot similarities with the camera module design…
I'm always in awe of the production value of this channel.
it's mkb HD for a reason 😉
Can't wait for them to produce their own flip phone!! Imma get it for sure!!
3:07 choosing icon size- THANKS, WINDOWS PHONE.
It's crazy that the 2 most important things on an phone are the battery and cameras. No mention of call quality.
Call quality is exelent most of the time on most modern phones, no need to mention it unless its very bad.
Can’t wait for the 3rd and 4th iterations of this phone. I’m not switching to this phone yet cause I think you hit the sweet spot at 3rd or 4th much like the Samsung Galaxy S3. I think this phone will peak at those iterations. Then, at the 5th onwards we get increment update much like the phones nowadays. By then it had set its own footing and hope it’s one of the top android phones to have.
the oneplus way!
Smaller size, 3rd camera and I'm sold!
I literally watched that opening 20 seconds over and over again, incredible intro even by @MKBHD standards
Finally the review we all wanted! 😊😊
Not at all still there r so many thing to explore bruhh
Not the review we wanted, the review we deserve.
6:52 Similarly, I also can't unsee the glyph light of the Nothing phone 2. The rightmost one is smaller than the left one and it's not symmetrical. I don't know why they couldn't make it similar, considering how much Carl emphasizes symmetry on the front bezels.
4:34 The glyph lights can either be monochromatic to match the monochromatic app skins or multicolor in future releases… As far as customizations for app preferences to sync to the glyph notifications that can be done as well… It is just software… The only limiting hardware feature for the glyph lights are the LED strips… Are they monochromatic or RGB? Some examples that can be done include… Monochromatic glyph however the top right strip could change colours to match app icon… For example… Blue for Twitter… Red for KZhead… Green for Messages… Or even multicolored zones on the single strip like Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow for Gmail… The possibilities are endless for glyph lights.
I’m glad this phone is continuing, more options is always better
Would have loved to have this phone as a kid. Or as my first phone. Back in the day, Blackberry used to have one small blinking light on the front panel - customizable color for different incoming calls, app notifications etc. Was a delight to use it! Pretty neat that Nothing is piggy banking on similar feel-good stuff.
Yeah I remember the blackberry light. Later samsung galaxies also had that light up until Galaxy S9 I believe
My old LG had one. I hated it because I'd constantly be glancing at it to see if it was blinking.
It's great to see a company being bold enough to challenge the norm, the glyph function is gaining abilities, lets hope it continues to do so. The quirks such as the British spellings add to its character and instantly identify its origins. Using mixed currencies didn't really tell us how much the price has risen without some mental gymnastics !
Love your vids❤️
The intros get erm…… SUPER DOPE everytime.
Marques trying to Zomato is my favourite genre lmfao
Especially with the wrong logo still 😅
