The second smartphone from Nothing, the Nothing Phone (2), made its global debut yesterday, bringing substantial improvements over its predecessor. The phone boasts a fresh Glyph Interface, a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC engine, a main 50MP Sony IMX890 camera, and an enlarged 4,700mAh battery. After its launch, the device was subjected to a rigorous durability examination conducted by well-known YouTuber Zack Nelson, also known as JerryRigEverything. Here is how the phone performed in the test.

The Nothing Phone (2) was subjected to an extensive series of durability examinations, including scratch, scrape, burn, and a final bend test. The YouTuber started by scratching the device's display, which began showing scratches at level 6 on the Mohs hardness scale, with deeper grooves appearing at level 7, which is standard for screens shielded by Gorilla Glass. The front and rear camera sensors, also protected by glass, resisted easy scratching. The fingerprint sensor stood out by continuing to function effectively, even after being repeatedly scratched.

The Nothing Phone (2) features an aluminum frame on its boxy side, which was scratched on all sides during the scrape test. During the burn test, the smartphone held up remarkably well, withstanding the flame for almost 25 seconds without showing signs of damage. The only noticeable effect was a white spot where the flame had hit, but even there, the dead pixels quickly recovered without any visible damage.

In the final segment of JerryRigEverything’s durability tests – the bend test, the Nothing Phone (2) showed considerable resilience. Zack attempted to bend the phone twice from the left side, near the volume rocker buttons, and the device remained intact. When he tried bending it from the right side, near the power key, a noticeable separation occurred. However, even after three attempts, the device remained undamaged and held its structure.
