@@GrigRPthey're not, the nothing phone 2 has a 2 year old chip. The iPhone won against the galaxy s24u which had the latest chip. There's just no way for the nothing phone to win.
Phonebuff, this is how your channel was back in those days with iOS 11, you normally test almost all smartphones then, but recently, you limited it to only iPhones and Samsung high end phones, not knowing that some people still use this other smaller devices. Nice job, please do even more videos with the other smartphones
Hello . I commented on previous videos of yours that it would be awesome if you make iPad battery drain test. Your battery drain test videos are great because they are so professional . I like them. Also very few people on RUclips make battery drain test to iPad.
The battery test, was a incredibly interesting. Also a suggestion of video: Test the same phone, example iPhone, and see the difference between native apps and "external" like Safari vs Chrome, Mail vs Gmail, Apple Maps vs Google Maps
Thank you for this comparison. Phone 2a is such a great phone but I might upgrade to the future flagship of Nothing. For now, I will enjoy this cheap midrange device.
@@GrigRP no, it's even with the A54, which is also close to the A55, something for this price to be as fast as an S24 Ultra would sell like fresh cold lemonade on an extremely hot day
I like the new variety in content, as everything doesn't always have to be a competition between Apple and Android, solely as there is a large variety of Androids to make more interesting content. Thank you.
Valid point. I failed to mention my experience testing similarly priced phones like the Pixel 7a that led to the minor disappointment. In hindsight, we probably should have included the Pixel 7a in this video. We’ll try to anticipate this better in the future. Thank you for your comment.
the 7a chipset Tensor G2 was released in October 2022, while the dimensity 7200 released only four months later (February 2023). the 7a has UFS 3.1 storage while the nothing 2a has 2.2 ufs which is older.@@duckmoment680
This battery test was very interesting. Alot different to the times listed by GSM Arena that puts the 2a ahead in pure browsing, video and gaming. Standby and call time was high too. This test feels like a better comparison
I definitely check your videos most of the time and was thinking of commenting that you shoukd cover all the phones. Before i use to watch all the tech RUclipsrs but now i only watch you lol. So doing a poll on RUclips community and doing this type of test if the way forward for you man. And theres none that does speed test like you so make it happen. Phone buff Supremacy
Can you test the nothing phone 2a with Infinix GT 10 Pro? Since both are using almost on par SoC.. I'm currently using the GT 10 Pro..pretty smooth so far after some updates..well the software and UI experience maybe behind compared to NothingOS but since it was almost identical in SoC performance..want to see how they performed against each other..
I believe phones (touch screens) will feel slow until they reach the speed at which our brains process things, so... around 0.35 seconds between any single tap, and the expected action _completing_ (such as an app loading after initial launch) We're still far and away. I can only hope competition doesn't completely die before we get there.
Great tests. One suggestion to incluye as part of the battery test is Wi-Fi sharing, for instance while streaming from media platforms (Netflix, HBO, RUclips,...)
How come when you did a speed test on nothing phone 2 last time it was 2.50 min vs iPhone 14 and now it's 3.04 min did the update make the phone slower?????
So the nothing phone 2 outlasted the s23 ultra with an older chipset and a smaller battery than it. Imagine it with the 8 Gen 3 and a 5400mah battery (especially because of the lackluster performance by the OnePlus 12 in the app cycle test).
I have a motorola G30 and I'm considering switching to the Phone 2 or the Asus Zenphone 11 Ultra (only thing I'm sceptical of with the Zen11 is that I've heard you'll only get 2 years of updates vs Nothings 4 years)
I would love to see the new ROG Phone 8 Pro in a battery test compared to other flagships. They have 5500 mAh and on paper should technically outperform the Oneplus 12 and any Galaxy series
Compare s23+ vs vivo x100 as s23+ has sd 8 gen 3 on 4nm N4 tsmc but but vivo x100 has dimesnty 9300 on tsmc 4nm N4X which is supposed to be more efficient and powerful.
@@YourLocalCafe I was going to say the exact same thing. I remember that phones a couple years ago were getting better in keeping apps running in background. Nowadays despite having more hardware ram they are getting worse and worse.
Phone 1 was good and phone 2 seemed to be more tested but when it came to 2a I lost the interest in phone 2 .and whats amazing is the battery phone 2a so let me keep my phone 1 instead of being confused
For the speed test results it would be interesting to see a comparison without the gaming tests. Not everyone plays games on their phone, and it really makes the results look much worse. Still do the gaming tests, but have a second conclusion with the gaming times subtracted.
I think the performance is adequate for the price. $700 for the flagship is cheap. They gotta make the flagship enticing somehow. 2a is only $350. At least it ain't $450/$500 and the Flagship $800.
Do the 15 plus again now that its fully updated. Every reviewer get the 15 plus as their top in the world battery wise. Ure the only one with the outdated video
Just came here for the battery test although when you do IG in the future you should consider 1 hour scrolling plus an additional hour going thru reels to see what part of IG takes more battery
@@goodmancomputeraccessories6386 Sadly it is pointless as the Nothing 2 would be destroyed and it would be embarrassing. No point rubbing it in when the price differential is so high. But you can take it that the iPhone and S24U our far more performant.
Correction:
Nothing phone 2A(UFS 2.2)
Thank you.
@@PhoneBuffCan you do Nothing Phone 2 vs 15 Pro Max?
@@GrigRPquite a strange comparison
@@SyunGupta Why? They're both around equally as fast.

Welcome back broo finally mid low end phones speed tests
That was hell of a fight in battery test
Pretty even.

@@PhoneBuff but did you use an Apple Pencil to do that?
The battery test, was a incredibly interesting.

I was confused of the phone 2a to be a stronger battery compared to phone 2
I'm quite happy with my Phone2 but the 2a is also a great value for the price!
I think Nothing phone 2a have UFS 2.2
yeah
Thank you for this comparison. Phone 2a is such a great phone but I might upgrade to the future flagship of Nothing. For now, I will enjoy this cheap midrange device.
*Let's Vote For Galaxy A55 vs Nothing Phone 2*
👇
Yes🎉🎉
That will be exciting
Nothing Phone 2 is almost as fast as s24 ultra. Obviously it will win.
Nothing Phone 2 will win tho
@@GrigRP no, it's even with the A54, which is also close to the A55, something for this price to be as fast as an S24 Ultra would sell like fresh cold lemonade on an extremely hot day
Nothing Phone 2a battery is excellent. Great work as always dude 💯
Great battery life on both. Thanks!
No way nothing Phone 2a after usage for 4 months battery drops like 20% when device is idle
@Crosstrack_Chronicles it depends on the person, I don't lose more than 2% of battery while my phone is idle for 5-8 hours
I like the new variety in content, as everything doesn't always have to be a competition between Apple and Android, solely as there is a large variety of Androids to make more interesting content. Thank you.
We're definitely trying to test more phones this year.
To be disappointed by the performance when it’s half the price is wild

@PhoneBuff the 7a was a year or two ago compared to now. Tech gets better
So what, the difference is just too big
the 7a chipset Tensor G2 was released in October 2022, while the dimensity 7200 released only four months later (February 2023). the 7a has UFS 3.1 storage while the nothing 2a has 2.2 ufs which is older.@@duckmoment680
They must keep improving or you expect that a ~300€ always perform bad?
2:10 video starts now!!
This battery test was very interesting. Alot different to the times listed by GSM Arena that puts the 2a ahead in pure browsing, video and gaming. Standby and call time was high too. This test feels like a better comparison
Nothing 2a have a wide bigger screen & have beautiful images when u play games
I love your videos, they are pretty accurate...
We would like to see Nothing Phone 2a compared with other brand's phone with a same price range...
Could you also include these in your battery tests?
No need to be disappointed, the difference in knowing the difference in hardware it is not even a comparison
Wonderful review
Thanks for such detailed benchmark both of speed and battery!
Adjusting the test to help the slower phone is wild

Please do Nothing Phone 2 vs iPhone 15 Pro Max and vs S24 Ultra
Its official now 🎉
Seriously makes no sense😂
8+Gen1

but it's nice to know how big the difference is
Make a video comparison battery between OnePlus 12 and 12R
Galaxy A55 please
Ufs 2.2 hits back here for phone 2a
Test with the phone 1 vs phone 2a

Nothing phone 2A , UFS 2.2
Love your videos from Jamaica 🇯🇲
0:49: $350 actually.
For the price nothing can't go wrong 🤷
Bro
I think it’s time to also start doing some iPad Vs samsung tablets speed test and battery test, seems no one is doing that on youtube
How come when you did a speed test on nothing phone 2 last time it was 2.50 min vs iPhone 14 and now it's 3.04 min did the update make the phone slower?????
Do you ever try vivid color vs natural color battery test?
So the nothing phone 2 outlasted the s23 ultra with an older chipset and a smaller battery than it. Imagine it with the 8 Gen 3 and a 5400mah battery (especially because of the lackluster performance by the OnePlus 12 in the app cycle test).
I think the lower native resolution helped it out.
@@PhoneBuff Barely. Definitely not enough to offset a newer chipset and bigger battery.
I have a motorola G30 and I'm considering switching to the Phone 2 or the Asus Zenphone 11 Ultra (only thing I'm sceptical of with the Zen11 is that I've heard you'll only get 2 years of updates vs Nothings 4 years)
I would love to see the new ROG Phone 8 Pro in a battery test compared to other flagships. They have 5500 mAh and on paper should technically outperform the Oneplus 12 and any Galaxy series
Can we talk about the fact that the Phone 2 is faster than the iPhone 15 pro max ? 2:03 seconds vs 2:08
they removed a few scenes for the video export otherwise the 2A wouldve taken too long to finish it so the 15 pm did more work
because they didn’t do the same tasks. nothing phone at its price point is never going to outperform an iphone 15
Compare s23+ vs vivo x100 as s23+ has sd 8 gen 3 on 4nm N4 tsmc but but vivo x100 has dimesnty 9300 on tsmc 4nm N4X which is supposed to be more efficient and powerful.
12GB ram failing this ram test
Didn’t expect it.
@@YourLocalCafe I was going to say the exact same thing. I remember that phones a couple years ago were getting better in keeping apps running in background. Nowadays despite having more hardware ram they are getting worse and worse.
Phone 2a supposed to underperform compared to Phone 2 nd it did well.
Can you do phone 1 vs phone 2a ? It would be good to see that match.
Phone 1 was good and phone 2 seemed to be more tested but when it came to 2a I lost the interest in phone 2 .and whats amazing is the battery phone 2a so let me keep my phone 1 instead of being confused
Nothing 2a have a bigger wide screen & have beautiful images when u play games
Bought my nothing phone (2) 512gb for 510$ usd (new) (bought in India) now they are just around 465$ (new)
Yea, its much cheaper in india, same with 2a, both are great phones
Pls, more videos on nothing phone 2 completing woth others
Bro hasnt change voice in 11 years, wild
Is not about performance, is about battery 🔋
Please do a test with dimnesty 9300
Please test Xperia 1 mark 6 vs S24 ultra and 15 Pro max. I appreciate 🙏
Xiaomi note 13 pro is at the same price test the 2a against it and the Samsung a55
Nothing fon 1 vs 2a was to be done😅
Can you do a iqoo 12 vs iPhone 15
pls do s24 plus (exynos)
Pro chip doesn’t look pro 😂 Pro start to loses the meaning of it
A little bit of marketing.
If i download any 2k regulation movies in 3rd Party website & using for play mx player, VIVO X100 Pro support that 2k Video?
More "Double Headers" please
We'll try!
Doogee V max vs power armor
For the nothing 2a price i would like to see it vs Google pixel 5 about same price on eBay brand new
s24plus exynos ver please
I wish the phone 2 had 5000 mah battery. That would make it perfect. Another 300mah would have made the comparison to the 2a closer.
you should really test iqoo 12 and compare it against iphone and samsung
Can you compare the 2A to A55?
Excellen video, 7 year old subscriber..Keep making great content
For the speed test results it would be interesting to see a comparison without the gaming tests. Not everyone plays games on their phone, and it really makes the results look much worse.
Still do the gaming tests, but have a second conclusion with the gaming times subtracted.
If it helps, the app load time chart at the end of the test provides data for individual app load times.
We need a new type of battery test, ranging from 20-80% which will help in battery life in the long run.
I feel like the full test helps indicate that, no?
for 290 dollars you get a snap 888 plus with 144 hertz screen 6.8 inch with 108 mp camera and "fast charging"
This automation machine name please...
The thumbnail looks too busy. Should go for a 'cleaner' one. No problems with the actual content, though.
I think the performance is adequate for the price. $700 for the flagship is cheap. They gotta make the flagship enticing somehow. 2a is only $350. At least it ain't $450/$500 and the Flagship $800.
In my country the 2a comes at around $270 and the phone 2 is $430.
Speed Test Sony phone, please 🙏
I didn’t think it would be that bad. Dang
A little surprising.
leaving the screen on when listening to music is freaking weird, surely almost all of the battery drain comes from the screen then
Do the 15 plus again now that its fully updated. Every reviewer get the 15 plus as their top in the world battery wise. Ure the only one with the outdated video
Just came here for the battery test although when you do IG in the future you should consider 1 hour scrolling plus an additional hour going thru reels to see what part of IG takes more battery
Redo this with the 2a Plus
Not stellar RAM management by the "flagship"...
Phonebuff=high quality worth watching videos.
in iPhone 15 vrs s24 ultra iPhone completed the task at 2.07. in this test nothing phone 2 did it in 2.03. nothing phone won
This test has different variables (for example the video export is 1/3 as intensive) so the two results are not directly comparable.
