    User, 24 Jul 2023It is just nothing....In all fairness, it is just a typical midrange with a few quirks, selling for a near flagship price.

      Very biased camera review. Nothing Phone 2 camera has been tested by very professional tech sites in India (YouTube) comparisons made of 4-5 phones and only mediocre results and update made it worse according to some. Of course daytime photos looked good on that sunny day - tell me on which only 300€ phone they wouldn't? And to say photos at night looked superb is wildly exaggerated, they looked nothing special.
      Worst thing about Nothing 2 camera is actually not the quality, which may improve with time, but it's lack of advanced modes like Dual Capture video, which is an absolute must have feature for me. Xiaomi 12 Lite has so much more to offer despite a 249€ price tag now (Nothing 2 is still 729€ in EU-Finland, same price as OnePlus 11). Xiaomi camera options in MORE is staggering : 1) 108mp, 2) Short Video 15 sec, 3) Panorama, 4) VLOG, 5) Slow motion, 6) Time lapse, 7) Movie effects, 8) Long exposure, 9) Dual Capture video (front+back camera video recording), 10) Clone photo/clone video (fun!).
      Definitely keeping my Xiaomi 12 Lite. With a fantastic capable camera in all situations. It will still get Android 14 & 15. I found it new at a crazy low price 199€. Screen is a stunning 6.55" AMOLED, 68 Billion colors, 120Hz, Dolby Vision, HDR10+, 950 nits (peak) and of course great sounding stereo speakers.

        Camera quality has deteriorated after the update, update quickly for the best camera.

          Great software I'd say the best I've used on any Android device thus far.

          However the mediocre camera and speakers are holding this device back.

                Anyone have problem with blutooth? For example pairing phone with blutooth car audio?

                          So, according to your reviews the NP2 is only 0.1 stars better than the NP1 despite the beefier price? Hardly seems worth it.

                            The only target audience at the moment is people who can't buy an iPhone so they want this weaker LED clone

                              G0gu, 21 Jul 2023That’s BS and you know it! The 256 GB with 12 GB of RAM of ... moreNobody buys directly from Samsung because they keep the price from the premiere of the device all the time.
                              Check prices from the largest Mediaexpert, Mediamarkt or other local stores for a given country then you see the real price of the device.
                              If you checked prices from the secondary market, Galaxy s23 / + prices are even lower and nothing 2 doesn't launch in a vacuum, so you have to take those prices into consideration.
                              Plus you have a whole army of phones from last year that have the same specs or even better for even less money

                                      Really, GSMA? The best? Even Mrwhosetheboss' review (which was a glorified ad) said the haptics are strong but not refined enough.
