Nothing is back with their third phone, but this time they’ve gone full mid-range budget phone. The (2a) might not have as many fancy lights or specs, but with a VERY competitive price and a… “unique” design, Nothing might just have a winner on their hands.

I was listening to this while doing something else and heard linus say I feel like I've aged 10 years in the last decade. It felt like a joke until my logic kicked in and now I'm just confused 😂
Theres Nothing charger in the box
Why do i feel like this video is playing at 102% speed?
12:06 Yeah why indeed
I still maintain that the back button should be on the left. Back is always left in anything. The arrow also always points left. Why on earth you'd want it on the right is beyond me. Only Samsung thought that to be a good idea. I guess it makes sense in some asian cultures but in the western world, anything text/menu based is from left to right. So of course back is left.
Lovely little Phone that. It may not be 'all that', but it feels like something that will last for 5, 6 years even though it's cheap.
the sound of the video is not on point.
Yea my 12 pro is a brick, I wouldn't mind but the battery doesn't last a whole day if your using it as say a sat nav.
Does Linus STILL USING THE NOTE 9 , AS A DAILY DRIVER…..MA MAN!!! I'm using it as well!!!!
I bought one and one more thing that is great with the Nothing (2a) that it has minimal amounts of un-deletable bloatware. Anyone whose ever used a cheap Samsung or any chinese budget phone knows thats not usually the case. And If you're not a fan of the Nothing's black and white aesthetic (here, here!), you can also make it look pretty much stock Android.
The sound in this video is unfortunately so bad that I cant watch it on my usual headphones or im gonna go insane. Sounds like ai echo removal was used wich makes it so uncomfortable to listen to that i think i wouldve preferred the echoy version :/
Correction: not a aluminum frame
I never stopped to think about the "back" button not being on the right whenever Linus said it, now I saw it, and I'm in despair about getting a new phone where the button is on the left.
I just bought a SE and I love it. It's a phone. Anytime I'm not sitting in front of my computer- I'm too busy to play with my phone. Then, I'm at my desktop…
there are plenty of $329 good phones out there and I don't see that this adds anything new honestly, except the clear back okay, but like asides from that 45W charging is mid as the Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G+ came with 120W charging like what almost 2 years ago and 65W charging is pretty common and everything else if… like what you expect, but like the point of the video is "Yes a $350 phone is far more than serviceable." then agreed.
Now all I need is a micro-sd in one of the Nothing Phones and they have my money. EASILY.
is there ADR on this? something feels off
Also a note 9 survivor here. These phones are almost identical as far as specs too. Some updated tech but pretty much the same.
Man i hate cameras orientation like 🤮, but some how in your hands it looks good.
Would be nice to know the resolution of the youtube test as well, and not just the nits used
WHATS WRONG WITH THE AUDIO! AHHH 1:45 into the video
"Well you're not getting much in the box" more like getting Nothing 💁♂
Man, what king of 30w charger you've used cause Nothing claims its 0 to 100 charging time 63 minutes too but with a 45w charger.
Please send me a link to that hell of a 30w charger😂
I'll buy it asap.
Nothing but puns in this video 😮
Audio 🤮
How and why do you manage USB-C 2.0? It takes custom integration, USB-C is 3.1 by definition from 2014
American/Canadian data prices are laughable 😂 I get unlimited 5G for 10$ a month (tho I also got a good deal normally it's around 25$ for unlimited data but still 5G )
12:30 Unfortunately it will be bottle-necked by the USB 2.0 port
Its plastics frame. But you told it's aluminum frame.
What the f happened to linus's voice in this video it's seems somewhat off, no one else notice that?🧐
Compared to S 20 FE. Would this phone feel equal or crappy?
At least in Finland nothing phone 2a is 359€ and iphone 13 starts from 769€. I like apple but that price is mad
The audio quality in this one made me start looking for problems with my setup. 😐 Was Linus mic'd up under his hoodie?
They installed Nothing as a SoC. That explains terrible performance and battery life.
You don't know what you're talking about..
Your Video is sounding like a crap.
I didn’t tell anything
The chart at 2:28 has identical bars despite 2 hour differences
9:56 anybody know what theme is this? Is this only exclusive to nothing phone?
Still rocking those 90s earrings…😂
9:40 it's actually plastic frame
is it just me or is there a slight echo in the background of the audio? Not super distracting, but might need to check it.
How about the vibration?
finally, a phone that isnt a camera with a phone attached to it, something for the normal people
