What the reviewers said

Tech Advisor UK

4/5Mar 11, 2026

A strong mid-range upgrade with great design, display, software and cameras, though durability and performance trail rivals and the Glyph Bar is underwhelming.

  • Iconic transparent Nothing design with new pink colour
  • Sharper 1.5K 120Hz display
  • Ad-free Nothing OS experience
  • Excellent cameras for the price, including new telephoto
  • Battery life surprisingly good
  • Larger, heavier and thicker than most rivals
  • IP64 resistance lags behind rivals' IP68/IP69
  • Minimal performance gains over predecessor
  • Software support period could be longer
  • Glyph Bar offers little new functionality
