Okay mate………. That was some next level editing throughout the video 😅
Wow, the intro and production are incredible! Especially considering you do it all yourself (as far as I remember). Props to you, mate! Love your content.
Thank you for your review Sam. I was eagerly waiting for it since launch. As for me, I don't ever use wireless charging, because I mostly stay next to my desk and all the ports, and I rarely ever capture photos, and in times that I do, I don't really bother myself as much with great quality. And I don't play games, so Nothing's light AOSP software skin along with smoother animations with 120 Hz for me is decent enough.
Are you me? 😂
0:00 intro 🔥
lol
That you had to timeline
It's been a while since I saw an awesome intro
Such a cool intro! ❤
Wow..your video is getting Better..A lot better (worth to watch) !!!
Boy oh boy! That production quality is so pleasant to eyes mannn!
lebron sunshine meme 😂
Design Of The Phone 2a is Out Of This World....Very Aesthetic😍
Lovin the video quality.
amazing intro bro
What a performance! Thank you for the review. You're a true asset to RUclips. As mentioned, the intro is simply perfect; they should consider hiring you for their product promotions. Wishing you all the best, and keep up the great work. You inspire me time and time again. 🙏🚀
Sold out in North America. Only available from resellers. NP 2A is doing well
Most beautiful Nothing Phone 2a video i have ever watch.
Damn Sam! That intro was a ripper!
Finally a nothing phone 2a review I can relate with 😂
As a budget phone buyer I'm fine with compromises, I just need to find a phone that compromises on the areas that I don't care about.
That's how I ended up with the Nothing 2a this time around.
How smooth is the phone when using a couple apps like messenger and photos and swirching between them a lot?
I bought this for my Mum. She's loving it.
My soul was ready!
The quality of this video is insane
This is a great phone. My only complain is the aspect ratio. Wanted it to be narrower.
If NP3 come with a 3 camera , I gone buy it!
Still lovin mine!
I love nothing phone 2a...so smooth✨
holy crap that intro was fire
Have you faced any screen burn issue with nothing phone 2a ?? I am facing this issue after the latest update
just got the 12gb model in asia for 300 bucks. Crazy Good low/mid range phone
Where did you get it from?
@@Don_XII bangkok. central world mall
Well I think the stock photos were better than with gcam app. Btw..you gained some muscle?
Which gcam port did you use??
Yeah. I really agree that its camera performance is the biggest drawback. I also resorted to gcam, and I hope there's a gcam in the future that can utilize the 50 MP camera hardware. Nonetheless, it's still a great phone.
Great video Sam as always. What aspect ratio of video is this? Camera used?
I have it. I love it. I recommend it.
Same here
Ok so... Is better than most of the phones for the price range, and the battery is good, cameras are ok, no wireless charging (Not a problem for me) and sometimes lags (I think the lagging issues can be fixed on a Software Patch but ok)... I think it works for me, i'm buying one
Same, i'm going to get this. I don't understand why he is comparing a budget phone to a flagship...
U bought?
bought one online and after a few days returned it. Exchanged it for the same price a55 which is already the 12gb ram model
I get so much better battery life/performance and overall phone feel with the aluminum frame
i never thought an exynos would fair better than a mediatek
Can you provide the link for the gcam mentioned in the video
I love your videos mate but this is harsh on the camera.. the phone is cheaper than the Galaxy A35.. and that camera is absolutely rubbish. The camera is fine for 99% of people. I wouldn't call it a downside when its the same price as an iphone 11 from half a decade ago..
Im still waiting on my white phone 2a from jb hi fi aus. They have stock of all the other phones just not the white. And i dont want the black due to fingerprint issues.
Your review is really helpfuk
There is a screen retention issue flogging this device. Read it with different forums
Why havent you done the a55? Cmon m8!!!!
Can u please give the link for the gcam u used
Kudos to Nothing for keeping the budget segment exciting! 👑
What is that keyboard in the background?
review Motorola Edge 50 pro!!!
Which colour is this ?
You ought to be in the new Mad Max movie 💀🚗
Wireless charging is kind of important for me. If my iPhone 13 mini didn't have it, I would be struggling with charging my phone since its charging port is not acting perfectly.
The reviewer forgets most of the time how mutch this device costs and what we get for the money. From my experience with it: 10 points from 10. For the phone, not the reviewer.
I hope this design remains ONLY for their A phones, rather than spreading to the rest of the line. Saying they look like an iPhone, when everything is a glass sandwich is just absurd to me (and IK sam isn't alone in saying that). I also just really like the design of the Phone One and Two.
Ig it is unfair to compare the camera to the lights of the flagship give that it isn't one, for the price i feel it well and truly justifies the camera, also with time the camera processing will only improve ( phone 2a user)
A camera is as good as its operator and different lighting situations
Can I get the link for gcam port
seriously normal people Cant see any difference in the photos taken by the 2a camera.
Make a review about Xiaomi 14 and 14 ultra
Here in India, I can get it for roughly 19k (8gb,128gb) after offers (350AUD in conversion). Should I go for it? Currently using a Moto Edge 30 which is riddled with green lines.
Where are you getting it from for 19k?
Nothing is cooking rn 🔥🔥
It's not available in the USA
I can't really understand why Nothing keep making phones bigger and bigger, 2a have oportunity to be small factor phone like default iPhones.
I will buy it immediatly, hate Nothing(1) have giant screen.
Because people just don't buy smaller phones enough. The data doesn't lie
Where i can get for $350?? Its $550 in Australia buddy and the matter of the fact you live in Sydney so where exactly you can get in $350?
99% of my audience is not in Australia, so I use USD as it's a little more universal.
i know they used plastic on the back to save money but they should have made it frosted so it doesnt pick up fingerprints and scratches that quickly, and youll still be able to see the underside bits too
Does this have nfc; its competitors like nord ce 4 don’t
yes it does, it coils around the camera
Sad thing about this phone is the IP rating, only reason I wouldn’t take it
Video aspect ratio is too wide.
the ACE 3V beats the shit out of this phone. the pixel 6 and 7a are better options too
Ace 3V sucks on its camera department
In your settings menu, I notice the background looks AMOLED pitch black whereas on my phone 2 it's grey. Is that new in an update?
that looked like Istanbul, Turkish airport
Lol instant skip on second "compromise"... just pointless nitpicking
ps wireless charging still involves a wire, you just don't have to connect a wire everytime you charge
While you are judging this phone like a flagship one, remember this is a mid ranger targeted towards normal to moderate users. Also the less you pay the less you will get, so i guess you can get down of your high horses and review it like a mid range😂
They should have gone with Qualcomm Snapdragon chip, maybe a snapdragon 7 Gen 1 or something lower.
Wireless charging (really plugless charging) is a totally unnecessary luxury feature. I don't get why it's such a big deal that it's not on their budget phone... If you want luxury features buy the luxury model...
If you're in US then yes this phone is pretty good for the price, but on other place where Xiaomi, POCO or IQOO exist then this phone is not worth the price
i mean their software is not as good as nothing and also camera
but if you opt for performance then sure get any of those phones
Got it at 260$ in India for 8gb+128gb base variant & for that money all is well.
Cameras are definitely on the weaker side but can be improved via software updates. Optimization game also warrants an upgrade. But for that price, it's the best phone for stock Android lovers😊
lemme tell you this... nothing is aiming for the indian market with this one. i own nothing phone 2 and its an expensive phone amongst my friends and it even goes as fligship phone among my friends. in india "midrange" is the price at which 2a is at right now.
how'd you get GCAM on phone 2a?
what did nothing have to sacrifice
nothing
I am an Indian 🇮🇳 and I have using this phone since 1 month, literally it's amazing guys in this price feel like iPhone
What are you saying?
Okay....am I the only one who thought the pictures you took were pretty darn good for the price of this phone ? 😅
A ultrawide camera without focus is senseless...
Nice,but no headphone jack,so i got a samsung a15
Why does everybody price things in USD? The phone in Australia in $599Aud for the 12gb ram 256gb variant
I watch on nothing 2a
Which charger yu are using ..cmf?
Issue with this phone is the Pixel 7a, A55, One plus 12R, and just a used year old flagship makes this device awkward. I seen the horror stories with their awful customer service. So you can either gamble on a no name, or have a little more security with a known brand like Google. Google takes care of their customers. When I worked wireless they were the only ones that did and they sent a lady 3 Pixel 7 Pros within 3 months cause she just had bad luck and kept getting defective units after the warranty period expired.
I got fed up with the expensive fruit ecosystem and sold my iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch to this. Honestly, best decision i ever made in years. A lot of ppl would regret it, but not me, who is now happily embracing minimalism.
I like it. Just too big. Way too big. Why’s it the max? Why wouldn’t half of us want below average?
no wireless charging...........yes please......generates heat, less efficient, and slow...........why does anyone need that....only because that's cool....
You been to turkey?
If you want to make a budget phone remove the lights on the back because 99% of people buying a budget phones use a case + dont care about the lights
Could you make video about customize nothing phone with out launcher and third part app
🥹🤍✨
Oneplus 10t - flagship performance, mid range price. Definitely outperforms the nothing 2a for around the same price
do a review on the redmi note 13 pro 5g!
would you sell ur other phones just sitting in storage?
The only big compromise for me is UFS 2.2.... Seriously carl pei
2 weeks ago, I bought a used pixel 7 pro for 315€. I will never understand people who buy new midrange phones
Refurbished?
Great phone. Photo quality is the best.
even the pixel 6 pro or 7 are an enormous upgrade over this all show no go phone. both of which can be found under 350
same, got mine 2 months ago at 340. phones are getting so good to be able to last 6-8 years if treated right, if not just change the battery for the most. It really doesn't make sense getting a mid/low end phone if you can get and 1-2 year old flagship that these days have 5+ years of support
In the US, Nothing is non-existent. We don't have them. The carriers here don't carry them. You can get it unlocked but it doesn't support most 4 & 5G bands.
It's a shame that the Nothing 2a was never released with 512GB unlike the Nothing phone 1 and 2🤔📱
I want something, and this is nothing in 2a. Nothing 3, would be something. I'll wait and see.
Nothing 3 is rumoured to be nothing's first flagship. Unfortunately the price for that will be closer to $2,000 aud if you don't care for the price then go for it.
Sam I'm now sure how much the Nothing costs in Oz but here in Cyprus it's €380 (night not include shipping or import duties).
For that money I can buy a Samsung A35 which not only looks as good but has a superior display, superior cameras, superior CPU, superior warranty, tons of accessories on the market, and local walk in 1 hour repairs.
I'd say Samsung has a very strong game on this year in the budget segment and I think they're aiming to see a big increase in sales.
Oh I almost forgot, 4 years OS updates and 5 years security.
That applies to all their phones.
In Jerry's teardown you'll see that the fancy patterns on the phone, especially the bottom, is just a plastic insert. That's not a real data cable and 100 cosmetic.
Underneath it's a generic Chinese bulk production vanilla phone. I can find a case online with those patterns for a Samsung (and many other phones) if I really want that look.
What they should have done was put alot more effort into the cameras. That's really the weakest link in this segment of the market.
That's why Samsung has a strong game because they have the best cameras in the budget segment. And they even do 4k video, even on the selfie.
The 2a should realistically have been priced at no more than €300 including shipping etc. but I suppose they needed a money spinner and this will do the job well.
If I was them I'd get a gcam port, hack it to get the code, and adapt it to work with my cameras rather than try develop my own camera software.
In fact this is where Google lets Android down. If they would make gcam available to all OEM's to use and adapt to their cameras, ALL Android phones could have Pixel level capabilities.
That would instantly destroy 1 of apple's pillars. Yet they don't do this because Google are asleep at the wheel
▪︎ They tried to create an extraordinary phone, but it turned out ordinary
Definition of mid from nothing. Sadly this phone will be forgotten about in 3-4 months
u buggin 💀
We found a Samsung sheep
Did we watch the same video?
Some people just want to hate something for the sake of it...
Hater alert
Overpriced and overhyped and subpar performance are all deal-breakers software is good but doesn't save this underperforming phone
Who hurt you dawg? I have the 2a and its smoother and more optimised than most phones in its segment. Raw specs aren't everything.
Yup Just flashes trys to hype phone
@@kindofanmolnope it's garbage
Just like any midrange Samsung phone.
@@kindofanmol hey, I'm thinking about buying 2a
doesn't lag? do u play any games??
Awesome vid
This nothing 2a dose support wireless🫵
No it does it
Not
