Nothing Phone 2 Camera Samples
Featured in this article

Nothing Phone (2), Portrait mode. Nothing has improved the cameras on its new phone, but the results can be heavy-handed as if someone cranked all the values in a photo editor to the max. There's perhaps too much contrast here, the lighting looks artificial, and the colors are oversaturated. At least it's sharp and still a photo I'd be fine sharing.

Google Pixel 7A, Portrait mode. The Pixel goes for a much more natural approach. Skin tone looks accurate. The colors are not overblown. It's still sharp, and the lighting is great.

Nothing Phone (2), main camera. Again, Nothing likes to up the contrast and colors. This is a good photo but look at the following Pixel image.

Google Pixel 7A, main camera. The Pixel strikes a nice balance. The shadows aren't too dark, the brights aren't too bright, and the colors look normal. There's a nice warmth to the image.

Photograph: Julian Chokkattu08Nothing Phone (2), Portrait Mode. Turn on portrait mode, however, and everything looks … bad. It might just be that the scene needed more light but the phone didn't indicate this to me. Instead, my dog's face is blotchy, and there's a sudden drop in detail. Even my pup isn't happy.
Photograph: Julian Chokkattu09Nothing Phone (2), main camera. One big issue I noticed is chromatic aberration, which is color distortion when there are bright backgrounds. You can see this easily here at the edges of the tree's leaves. There's so much purple\! It looks bad. Most phones are able to correct this.

Photograph: Julian Chokkattu11Nothing Phone (2), main camera with Night mode. Night time or low-light photos are pretty solid all-around. The Pixel 7A picks up more detail and can brighten images up a bit better, but the Nothing Phone (2) won't disappoint.
Photograph: Julian Chokkattu12Nothing Phone (2), selfie camera. The selfie camera, while sharp, over-brightens the image, and struggles with HDR.
Photograph: Julian Chokkattu13Google Pixel 7A, selfie camera. It might not be as sharp a photo, but I'd certainly share this photo over the Nothing photo.
Photograph: Julian Chokkattu14Nothing Phone (2), Portrait mode. Nothing went a little too strong with the blur effect here. It looks unnaturally strong at this distance, and the person looks more like a cutout placed into the scene. Thankfully, it's still a nice shot and there are no problems with the portrait effect.
