Dearrawat

While the phone has now functioned almost a year without problems worth mentioning, NOTHING has been done with the camera in any of the updates we so far have received.

Camera is still not at all better than in the Samsung phones at around half the price and the 2 should be a FLAGSHIP phone.

With little use, the battery needs to be charged twice a day in order to hold it above the 20% minimum for keeping Li-Ion batteries last more than a couple of years. That there still is no app for stopping charge when at 80% (like in all Samsung phones) in this FLAGSHIP is not that easy to understand.

That NOTHING is improving their ear versions is good for those that are not using phones to listen to music in, but for us loving music and having over ear phones (Edifier stax S3) it is of no importance at all, so please use some of the talent that is supposed to be in the company to make a software update for the Nothing Phone 2 camera.

It would be better if you were wrong, but NOTHING has made it impossible to come with a FLAGSHIP phone after the disaster they have made out of fine hardware from SONY mixed with software made by talentless amateurs. Nobody having a Phone 2 would ever believe a word from the company if not selling phones less than 250€, a price which would have made the quality of the pictures from Phone 2 OK, but at the price the phone was sold it is a disaster.

Hello Natalie ! If I’ve applied on the 1st September do I need to reapply ? Since the 1st September I haven’t been contacted. Also to your colleagues from Business and Press Department haven’t responded to my e-mail, still waiting for an answer since 9th of the July (2024), over 2 months. Not even a positive feedback or a negative, nothing from Nothing team. When you have the possibility please read my e-mail sent to your colleagues.

With gratitude,

Natalie Nothing Phone 2a’s image post processing has not improved yet, even after the layers of updates received since its release. The color processing can’t even match even the first generation of Pixel phones. Comparing it to my old Poco M4 Pro, the images produced by the Nothing Phone 2a lacks clarity, it only looks sharp and saturated, but the details when zoomed in are as blurred as my grandmother’s vision. We’re not getting the full potential of 50 megapixels. Now, no matter how I hate it, I have to always use Lightroom to improve the photos.

I’m aware of what we paid for when we choose the Nothing Phone 2a, I have no complaint about the overall performance of the device, but as a mobile photographer, to make the camera the biggest downside of the device is beyond disappointing.

I’m not expecting for a flagship camera performance. Just please give justice to the Nothing Phone 2a camera.
