I also feel the camera has improved over time . But what do you personally think about the video camera ?Has it really improved over time. Is it only me who think it didn’t make much of an improvement. I feel the video camera was just good and no much improvements where done .Also Nothing Phone 2 can support cinematic mode . But there is no cinematic mode for this phone a phone with 50 MP camera with ois and eis, the already used ai hdr enhancement features can be taken in advantage for enhancements of videos.And last but not the least it has a powerful chipset Snapdragon 8 plus gen 1. Please reply on what you think.

    The phone 2 struggle in night time i.e in low light and processing algorithms is not accurate, some times it takes photo excellant and some time the photo of same object get weird , the problem in low light can’t be solved because it’s sensor limitations but accuracy in photos to the natural or social media ready should be improved

      RuudHesp i am getting over exposed wrong colour toned images…. How did you capture these kind of awesome pictures?

          Aswath_Reacher How long have you been a Phone (2) user? Also “over the years”? This phone isn’t even two years old.

          I am actually glad the OP brought this topic up as some people keep complaining Nothing has done nothing to improve the camera, which is just plain wrong. There have been a number of improvements within the first few months after the phone has been released. Stacked image processing (like HDR and night mode) got better, the phone became less prone to movement and thus reduced the amount of blurry shots, HDR in general improved quite a lot, I’ve found it fairly lackluster right out of the box.

          To give a bit of background, I pre-ordered my first NP2 right away when pre-orders went live and received it in late July of 2023, it became my primary phone until January 2024, when I sold it. I purchased another NP2 in June 2024. Especially inbetween July 2023 and November 2023 there were numerous smaller updates which improved the camera.

          Of course there is still room for improvements, in my opinion Nothing’s image processing is sometimes too much and artifacts are visible in details of each image, they look unnaturally oversharpened and soft at the same time. Even with Nothing’s greatly announced Ultra XDR mode, I feel it still lags behind Samsung in terms of HDR performance. Sometimes it also has issues with color saturation, green in particular and it still rather tends to underexpose, which is something I don’t mind, as I prefer this to overexposure.

          In my opinion the camera, compared to right after unboxing the phone back in July 2023, has improved in key areas and it is a solid performer. However for people who really need the best possible camera quality, there are much better options for sure.

            VishwanathS_ghante I agree the night site has some issues in lx and 2x zooms but try the night sight in 0.6x it is soo good.

            Someone please comment on what do you think on the video camera of the Nothing has it improved over time.

              I don’t do anything special, I just look for the right spot and try lowering the exposure or turning HDR on and off. The camera is unstable at times, but with a bit of “care,” I think the results are good. Then, for the best photos, I spend a few seconds with the Snapseed app and they turn out like this 🙂 I’m glad you like the photos I posted.

              I didn’t have the NP2 phone in its first few months, I don’t doubt that. I think they’re gradually improving the camera, although it’s true that it’s at a slower pace than I would like.

                  RuudHesp It’s more like a luck to capture a decent photo with a nothing phone. Sometimes we get pretty good and sometimes it’s one of the worst to look upto. I guess the team have still not resolved the stable capabilities of the camera to capture a good photo. Even with many updates asked from the user, still it lacks a way bigger for nothing phones in terms of camera. And ofc about night photography, it’s better to not talk on it, i depends on enhancing apps and filtering app to make it look atleast better, the night photography is way terrible especially in NP2. It’s just a personal opinion 😃

                      CYPHER_LYNX camera is still lacking the optimisation it needs. Especially for phone 2. The camera is so so inconsistent 🤷

                        Of course camera is not the best in phone (2), but it also doesn’t mean it’s worse. I have been using it from the day it got launched. I feel the performance of camera is not uniform throughout. Sometimes it’s better, and sometimes it’s not.

                        Hello again! 🙂

                        I’ve been taking photos with the stock camera of the Nothing Phone (2) for a while now, also using the GCam LMC8.4.

                        Honestly, the stock camera is getting better at interpreting colors and even recovering more information in brightly lit areas 📷

                        The problem Nothing needs to fix is the detail—there’s a horrible washed-out effect that destroys textures when you zoom in on any part of the photo. Just look at how it ruins the detail in the branches 🌳
