Part of 2 pictures from 2 phones.
One from Nothing 2 with latest update - one from a Samsung A53 with latest update. Both in highest resolution and Android 14.
Why do I say that camera in Nothing is very bad? Because it is!
Yes the distance to the motive is around 1 - 2 kilometres, but same for both cameras. Samsung phone was bought summer 2022 and Nothing summer 2023. Samsung has OK camera, Nothing has Nothing in camera OK.
camera it is not performing well, looking absolutely poor even 25000 below value phn giving good pictures. It doesn’t looking like 50 megapixel. Few times it is giving good photos “only few times” . I am getting fear that, is their any problem with my mobile unit only, just completed one month.
White balance, overshadow, flare, auto hdr ruining the photos. Iam unable to upload sample photos ….we have hope in you , can clear it with one update. Please optimize it.
I believe Nothing is wrong with your phone. Nothing is good in my camera either. Just like so many have reported in the forum. Also I do not believe it is going to be fixed. Maybe Nothing has no good software people, because SONY hardware is normally very good. Have an old SONY almost 20 years old and this take better pictures than the 2023 Nothing 2 phone, also a cheaper Samsung A53 has far better resolution and more accurate colours.
All we can do is not buy more from Nothing. Unless a miracle should happen and Nothing come with an update that take care of the problems, which I doubt.
HKBardia I second that… worst camera on outdoors at natural lighting and when zooming in the taken pic or the live zoom …any way the camera is very very bad…only good in close up shots good is not really good by good I mean acceptable. They must do something about it…the hardware is capable. Atleast pls don’t post process it …. Give us what we see on the screen that much processing is enough…the stupid and idiotic post processing and non toggle hdr is a big let down. Zero satisfaction on nothing camera. Camera is just nothing as per the brand.
The camera is performing absolutely garbage in lower light situation, the post-processing HDR darkens areas so much, its looking comic like and not realistic at all. And no way to disable HDR processing… thats a big joke. Please guys, love most about that phone, but if the camera quality stays like this, i will have to go back to a pixel again… sigh…
Scenarios when the front and back cameras perform poorly :-
Since there is no inbuilt gallery app with editing features, we ought to use third party apps to do the same which may/may not produce desirable results. Also, since HDR can’t be switched off, we are forced to use the pics clicked by the cam, as is. But hey, let’s not talk about this, instead focus on introducing new widgets which majority of users won’t use…
I am using my NP2 since 3 months facing below issue related to camera ;
Picture are coming like we have applied some filters on it when we click in day time outdoor when sun rays are bright.
Portrait blur not looks natural.
Light flares are coming when sun is towards camera.
Slow motion 4k videos is stucking while playing.
A humble request to nothing team, you guys have made a great software experience, only concern with camera optimisation, for some time please focus on camera optimisation and improvement l, because rest of the software is great. We can wait for 2 month for the next update no issue, but please push next NOS2.5.3 updates with above camera improvement.
hi there..is it better to install gcam app on np2? or just stck with the native cam
No GCAM app is written by Google for the phone, so you are on your own.
I wait till my wife think I deserve a new phone which will be from another company. No more Nothing products for me. Maybe, if Nothing has money enough to, and want to keep customers enough, they will hire a competent programmer that can make the camera function to the best of the hardware in it, coud change that.
i dont useually use the camera app on the np2 but mostly on 50mp without zoom. it was working fine but when i tried to use the 2x zoom and change the camera the photos are offcous and blurry. never dropped the phone whatsoever. any suggestions as to what i should do?
Nothing team will only reply if you appreciate something, on issues specially camera issue for Phone 2, no one is going to reply bro.
Even they are not able to fix camera issues, they can request users to use gcam officially.
ya kidding right? lol
Camera in phone, that is about 1 year old now, has had problems since it was made and Nothing has been done about that. Using a GCAM made for another phone is hardly the answer, so patiently wait till Nothing fix the software problem in the phone which they so far not seem to be interested in (able to).
Nothing will only answer if you are one of their fans loving the stupid light on the rear of the phone and praising the latest gimmick to make the glyphs blink to you or whatever. Whoever bought a phone to look at the back of the phone has the right phone if they have bought a Nothing.
This thread is most reported thread, but no one still replied
lexlexus I’ve used Gcam on my previous phones which had lackluster cameras and results used to be good on them but on this phone, the Gcam doesn’t perform better than the stock camera app.
The autofocus quality somewhat went down in the last few months.
