The Nothing Phone 2 has entered the world stage, with a sexy LED back pattern, and original Glyph UI. Is the underdog handset just a gimmick, or does it offer something new and distinct? This intriguing device presents so many surprises but we will join together for an in-depth review to lift the cloak.
What’s It Famous for? (The Glyph UI)
The clever Glyph UI is at the core of the Nothing Phone 2 fame as its predecessor. The LED strips on the phone’s back don’t only look good but also have useful functions such as calling and app notifications. Glyph is a system designed to cut down on screen time. Users can set the types of colors LED display depending on calls and messages.
Features
The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1, which is more or less a powerhouse chip, lies behind the captivating Glyph UI. It is also equipped with RAM options of 8GB and 12GB suitable for gaming and video rendering. These lights have been made available for any third-party developer who may wish to incorporate some unique features of a ride-hail service in real time.
Its simple black and white design, along with Nothing’s distinct dot matrix font, fosters a highly minimalist appearance where users can detach the screen. More so, the user has ability to resort back to a conventional full-colour interface.

The Camera
Photos taken are high-definition featuring crisper textures due to the dual camera set up, including a 50 megapixel Sony IMX890 main sensor and a 32 megapixel Sony IMX615 selfie camera. The ultra wide camera is fair but the super-res zoom plus optical stabilization of the main camera is amazing.
The Phone 2 supports 4K at 60fps in the video department and LiveHDR recording at 4K 30fps for versatility in capture.
