Nothing Phone 2 proves the most exciting $600 Android flagship in 2023 might not be Pixel 8 by making the Pixel flagship Google keeps failing to make.

what’s quite interesting to see is that the Nothing Phone 2 beats the Pixel 7 in several important categories of the smartphone experience…

Nothing Phone 2 has a much wider ultra-wide camera than the Pixel 7, which also doubles a macro shooter thanks to having auto-focus, as well as a 32MP selfie cam that can produce a lot more detail than the Pixel’s 11MP snapper - check out our Nothing Phone 2 review to decide if the specs make a difference in actual photo/video quality

In fact, the Phone 2 pretty much matches the Pixel when it comes to software support too - with 3 years of Android OS updates and 4 years of security patches . Of course, where Google wins will be the speed of those updates, especially given Nothing’s pretty much nonexistent track record . With a touch of a button, you can switch between Nothing’s own theme/UI, and the Pixel-like version of Android 13, which is about as clean as it gets on the Phone 2 . Nothing OS 2.0 is packed full of new features that you can learn more about if you check out our full. In case you’re wondering, some of the Phone 2’s software features are also coming to the Nothing Phone 1 - at least the ones not bound to any of the hardware upgrades on the newer model.

There’s the LED lights on the back , but what’s more intriguing is that they do a lot more now; for example, the bottom light can be used to indicate Google Assistant is listening to you, while the strip in the top right can fill up to show how close/far your Uber ride is, and act as a visual cue for timers

Nothing Phone 2 is like a Pixel but cooler, which might make it a better version of Google’s new Pixel 8, but I have a feeling that if I were buying a new Android phone right now, I probably would’ve picked the Nothing Phone 2 over any other Android solely based off how different it is than the rest of the slabs.
