Nothing Phone 2 256GB Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
![Deepak Dhingra]()
Verdict
The Nothing Phone (2) comes with improvements in almost all aspects — performance, display, battery, charging speeds, software, etc. The Glyph LEDs have been upgraded too, both in terms of hardware and software, and are now more customisable and functional. The Phone (2) seems priced on the higher side if pure specs are taken into consideration, but if the Glyph UI and the design appeals to you, it could prove to be a worthy buy.
Pros
- Standout looks
- Good performance & battery life
- Decent cameras
- Glyph improvements
Cons
- Dynamic range could be better
- Similar design as predecessor
- Charging speeds don`t match rivals
- Priced on the higher side
Glyph interface
+
Let's start with the most standout aspect of the Phone (2). Nothing's signature LED lighting system. Glyph interface, as the brand likes to call it, has received a bunch of upgrades and new features this time around. Of course, most of the older features, like the ability to set custom combinations of lights and ringtones for specific contacts, ‘Flip to Glyph' that mutes sounds when the phone is kept face down and activates light-only notifications instead, the charging metre, Glyph torch etc, are still there.

Design and display
+
Design was one of the mainstays of the Nothing Phone (1), and at first glance, it seems not much has changed with the successor. A closer look at the Phone (2) however, reveals the gently-curved back and subtle changes in the rear panel 3D design. Thanks to the larger display, the footprint is a tad bigger than last time, and the phone is marginally thicker and heavier as well. The aluminium frame, however, is slightly slimmer than before due to the new curved design. The latter makes the Phone (2) a wee bit more slippery in the hand, though it must be said that the in-hand feel is slightly better, and the curves make it seem somewhat more premium too. The pair of camera rings on the back, which were silver on the Phone (1), are now black.

Cameras
+
Like most other aspects of the device, the cameras on the Phone (2) have received upgrades too, and the main snapper now uses a 50MP, 1/1.56-inch Sony IMX890 sensor featuring an aperture of f/1.88, OIS, and EIS, along with Advanced HDR that captures eight frames of a scene with different levels of exposure to put together the final image. It's supposed to work with Night mode as well. The main shooter is mated to a 50MP Samsung JN1 ultra-wide sensor with f/2.2 aperture, while the front camera has been bumped up to 32MP (versus 16MP on the previous model). Videos can be shot up to 4K at 60fps, and there's an Action mode available as well. Shooting modes for photos include the usual like slo-mo, time-lapse, portrait, macro and expert, and also a 2X Super-Res mode.

Software
+
Nothing's implementation of Android was heralded for its clean, near-stock UI and bloatware-free approach on the Phone (1). The successor continues in the same vein but adds some of Nothing's signature elements to the mix – running Android 13 and bumping up the brand's skin to v 2.0. Nothing OS 2.0 brings more customisability (including resizable folders, colour themes, and the ability to hide app labels), a new monochrome icon pack, new widgets that use the brand's dot-matrix styling and can even be placed on the lockscreen, and more. Useful features like app cloning, and app lock are baked in as well.

Performance and battery
+
While its predecessor was decidedly a mid-rung offering in terms of its processing hardware, the Phone (2) has upped the ante and shifted gears to a near-flagship grade SoC. Thanks to the tried-and-tested Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 under the hood, the phone can deliver smooth performance across the board for a variety of different apps and use cases. Up to 12 gigs of RAM aids in the performance and multi-tasking, and apart from the 128GB and 256GB storage versions, you also have the option of choosing a 512GB variant this time.
