Much ado about the Nothing Phone (2), a snazzy update that packs a punch
The Nothing Phone 2 uses the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 mobile platform from Qualcomm. That was the best chipset Qualcomm offered in late 2022, but at the beginning of 2023 the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 2 chipset showed up in phones like the OnePlus 11 and the Samsung Galaxy S23.
There is no mistaking the Nothing Phone 2, whether you’re inspecting it up close or caught off guard by its flashing glyph lights from far away. The phone feels bigger and heftier than competitors, even though it’s the same thickness as the Pixel 7 and the OnePlus 11. The dramatically rounded glass back makes it feel more substantial somehow. Perhaps it's the depth of seeing through the glass and into the phone. It’s not uncomfortably large, just bigger than expected.
This wasn’t as much of a problem when I left the phone with its flat face down and used it the way I was supposed to: flashing glyph lights face up. The entire design of the Nothing phone, inside and out, is aimed towards not using it. Or making the phone harder to use so you use it less. Okay, I still don’t quite understand the ethos behind Nothing design, except that it promotes familiar tropes of mindfulness and reducing distraction that are in vogue right now.
Does it work? Not really. Don’t get me wrong, the glyph looks very cool and seems capable of some neat tricks. It’s just that the phone doesn’t seem capable of taking full advantage of the glyph.
