The Nothing Phone 2 is definitely a “budget” smartphone, but this time the company isn’t skimping on the tech inside its cute little phone. The Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 mobile platform from Qualcomm powers the Nothing Phone 2. The 6.7-inch LTPO OLED display is one of the best in this price range, with a resolution of 2412 x 1080 pixels for clear and bright images.
It’s great for exploring the web, playing games, or writing and sending notes on Nothing Phone 2. The LTPO technology changes the update rate of the screen to save power, which is a good thing that it does. Everything is covered by the Nothing Phone 2, which comes in two RAM sizes: 8GB and 12GB. The 8GB RAM is enough for daily work. Really, 12GB RAM is overkill for this price range.
You only need it if you’re playing newer games or watching movies. When you add more RAM to your Nothing Phone 2, it will run faster and work better in the future, so it’s something you should think about. You have to relearn how to use the phone because its whole point is to cut down on screen time before you can see how Glyph and other features of Nothing Phone 2 affect you. Nothing Phone 2 was made with, well, awareness in mind. You do have to pick up and start tapping the phone’s screen at some point, which is another difference between this and other smartphones. The interface is black and white and based on Nothing’s own font, a retro-style dot matrix that looks like NDOT 45 but was made by Nothing.

Where to Get Nothing Phone (2)?
Review of the Nothing Phone 2 It’s been more than six weeks since I last used the phone, and I’m surprised at how flexible and useful it is. The Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chipset is one of the best on the market and really sets this phone apart from many others in the same price range. It never slows down or stutters when I play the newest games, stream music and video, and use a lot of documents and apps at once. My review mode has 12GB RAM and 256GB of storage, which means it’s not the cheapest build on the Nothing Phone 2 but also not the cheapest either.
The battery lasts me three days, a full charge takes less than fifty minutes. This will definitely go down if you use the camera more, play games that drain the battery quickly, or stream videos. If you constantly browse the web, send messages, stream music, and play some games on the Nothing Phone 2, the battery would still have 20% left the next day.
When it comes to photos, the Nothing Phone 2 and the first model are pretty much the same. Both have two 50-megapixel cameras. But this new model is a little better because the main camera has a Sony IMX890 sensor built in. This gives it better autofocus and optical image stabilization. The camera on the front of the phone has been improved and is now a 32 MP camera. The software on Nothing Phone 2 is where it really gets better. The camera app has all the features you could want, such as normal shots, macro shots, portrait shots, and panoramic shots. There is a grid system to help you put things together, and tapping the screen will find and focus on the places you need.
