Nothing Phone 2 review: the new phone to beat in 2023

Never heard of Nothing? That's about to change, because the excellent Nothing Phone 2 deserves everyone's attention. It really is that good.

Great, modern design Glyph lights are cool and useful Clean, yet customizable software Excellent daytime camera Colorful screen

Only IP54 water resistance Poor lowlight camera performance

“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.”

Nothing Phone (2) review

The Nothing Phone (2) premieres one year after the first Nothing phone, and it is shaping as an amazing sequel offering enough relevant upgrades - an...

Unique glass design with Glyph UI, IP54-rated.

No high refresh rate gaming; some GPU throttling may occur.

But if you do, or you just want a breath of fresh air, an innovation of sorts in an otherwise boring market, the Nothing Phone (2), or (1), will not disappoint you. On the contrary, the Phone (2) offers a thoughtful pick of features with a pinch of...

Nothing Phone (2) Review

Premium feel ; Unique Glyph light system ; Snappy performance

Poor camera quality ; Glyph lights can be distracting

Trying to be more intentional in how you use your phone? The Nothing Phone (2) will have a certain appeal, thanks to its slick software and Glyph indicator lights. But its mediocre camera may be a deal-breaker.

Review: Nothing Phone (2)

This new Android phone has a unique interface and an array of LEDs on the back for notifications. And its $599 price makes it a welcome entry into the midrange US market.

Super smooth performance. Lovely screen. Good battery life. Slick and well-designed software with nifty features. Three Android OS upgrades and four years of security updates. Glyph lights are more useful (and fun) but still mostly gimmicky. Includes...

The Pixel 7A is cheaper and has better cameras. Lots of chromatic aberration. Not supported on Verizon. Only IP54 water resistant.

Nothing Phone 2 review: the vibes abide

The Nothing Phone 2 is better than the Phone 1 in a lot of small ways. But I'm still not exactly sure what it is .

Light strips are a neat design touch ; Useful always-on display with customizable info ; Good four-year software support policy

Only splash-resistant ; Not certified on Verizon

The Phone 2’s whole deal would be a little tiresome if the device itself wasn’t good. That’s not the case. This is a thoroughly good midrange phone, and it’s trying to do something a little different. I appreciate that. I just don’t think it’s for me —...

Nothing phone (2) review: The big leagues

Nothing takes another crack at something.

Refined unique aesthetic ; Premium feel in the hand ; Nothing OS 2.0 is gorgeously productive ; Glyph lights are actually useful…

…but may still feel a little gimmicky to some ; Raw power doesn’t match its competition ; Possible problems for people with epilepsy ; Glass back is a fingerprint and scratch magnet

The Nothing phone (2) is the true standout flagship phone I’ve been looking for. While the performance may not reach the lofty highs of the bleeding edge, you will love the retro-futuristic aesthetic across both hardware and software, the zippy speed,...

Nothing Phone (2) Review: Easy Evolution - SlashGear

Nothing Phone (2) emerges as the next form of the brand's unique design and experience, this time rolling with a decent camera array and a much higher price.

Improvements everywhere ; Good, solid cameras ; Awesome software ; Fun design

Some weird software choices ; Double the price of its predecessor

Nothing Phone (2) review: monochrome is the new black

The Nothing Phone (2) is out and we ran it through all our tests. Battery, performance, and camera — is the Nothing Phone (2) worth it? Here's our review...

Unique, quirky, interesting design ; Good display and performance at great price point ; Nothing OS offers great homescreen customization

Speakers are a bit tinny ; The UI needs more reskinning to keep the feel consistent throughout phone ; Camera improvements are noted, but it still needs work

Nothing Phone (2) vs Google Pixel 7: budget, with character

The Nothing Phone (2) costs exactly as much as the Pixel 7's MSRP. So, it's only natural that you'd wonder — which of these phones is better? Well... that's a tough question. We'd say... both of them!
