Re-reviewing the Nothing Phone 2 in 2024 after long term use and that Android 14 update, which brings us up to Nothing OS 2.5.5. As well as camera upgrades, the Nothing Phone 2 boasts Glyph updates and improved customisation - plus ChatGPT support. Here's what I think after testing this flashy smartphone for another week.
The camera was always quite dependable for everyday snaps but the 2024 updates have boosted the HDR photo smarts with XDR (as seen in the 2a). The Nothing Phone 2 is also more capable at night, while video stabilisation has improved.
Gaming on Genshin Impact, PubG and other Android titles is a smooth experience, if not quite as fluid as rivals like the OnePlus 12. Battery life seems to get better every time I test the Nothing Phone 2. These days you'll get around 8-9 hours of action from a single charge, although it's not as fast as the Redmi Note 13 Pro Plus or Moto Edge 50 Pro for recharging.
As for Nothing OS 2.5.5, that's been improved in many ways. Widgets like Photos and ChatGPT offer a greater selection and the Nothing Phone 2 can be customised to greater depth.
So what do you think after my long term review of the Nothing Phone 2? Let us know below!
