An Android phone you haven’t heard of is now the one to beat in 2023. NothingPhone2 phones Nothing

Nothing Phone 2 MSRP $599.00 Score Details DT Editors' Choice “The Nothing Phone 2's eye-catching design and cool Glyph lights are just the beginning, as the screen, performance, and camera all impress too.” Pros Cons Nothing the brand is new to the U.S., and to attract attention, it has come armed with the Nothing Phone 2 — a smartphone that looks unlike any other phone available today.

The glass on the back is “pillowed,” to use Nothing’s term for the 2.5D glass, which is curved on the top, bottom, and sides for a huge increase in in-hand comfort over the Nothing Phone 1. It nestles to your palm and gives the phone a classiness and a more individual character that was missing from the very iPhone-like Phone 1.It’s also transparent, exposing the wireless charging coil, the camera module, and the Glyph lights for all to see.

Nothing Phone 2: camera Not a huge amount has changed in the hardware department on the Nothing Phone 2 over the Nothing Phone 1’s camera. It has a pair of 50-megapixel cameras — a 50MP Sony IMX890 with optical and electronic stabilization, plus a 50MP Samsung JN1 114-degree wide-angle with EIS. There’s also an upgraded 32MP selfie camera, but Nothing has concentrated on improving the software behind them, and it has made a difference.

I do like the way the screen looks, despite it threatening to burn my eyeballs, and even if you switch to “Standard,” it’s still very colorful. I’ve had no problem with the brightness, even in sunlight, and the ambient light sensor does a good job of keeping the screen visible at all times. There are dual speakers that get really loud but lack bass. If you’re happy with retina-searing colors and speakers capable of big volumes, you’re going to love the Nothing Phone 2.

They retain the same icon design but without the color or the size and can be packed inside circular or square folders. Nothing’s widgets have the same pixelated, black-and-white color scheme and cover the time, weather, a selection of Quick Settings shortcuts, plus controls for Nothing earbuds. Even most of Nothing’s default wallpapers are abstract monochrome images.

Previous Next 1 of 6 Nothing promises to deliver three major Android version updates and four years of security updates which will arrive every two months. Samsung and OnePlus’s software update commitments are longer, but Nothing matches Google’s commitment, so it’s certainly not terrible. A 30-minute session of Asphalt 9: Legends takes 7% of the battery. Watch a 30-minute YouTube video at 1440p and full brightness, and you should expect the battery to fall by only a couple of percent. A screen time of between three and four hours, with a mix of casual games, apps, calls, and the camera, takes around 40% to 50% of the battery’s use time.

Nothing estimates 55 minutes for a full charge, and I came very close to replicating this exactly using the Nothing cable and the Anker 313 GaN charging block. It went from 2% to 64% in 30 minutes and on to 100% in 58 minutes. The phone also supports 15W Qi wireless charging, and it’ll take approximately 130 minutes to fully recharge using it.
