Nothing Phone (2a) Camera Samples

01
Nothing Phone (2a). Compare this with the following Pixel 7A photo. The Nothing handset delivers a nice low-light shot, and the color temperature is very accurate.
02
Google Pixel 7A. The Pixel is too aggressive in its white balance. The colors of this cathedral were warmer like the Nothing photo. That said, the Pixel does have slightly better exposure and sharper details.

Nothing Phone (2a). This color temperature is more in line with real life; the museum had these harsh warm lights shooting into this dome.

04
Google Pixel 7A. The Pixel's photo again is slightly sharper but you have to zoom in to see it. The colors here are nice, and perhaps you would want that aggressive white balance as it separates the colors pretty well. But it was not this cool blue temperature in real life.

Nothing Phone (2a). This is a pretty sharp photo that's well-exposed and colorful. The warm temperature is nice.

06
Google Pixel 7A. I also like this photo, but it is a good example of how the Pixel 7A tends to cool the tone of an image.

07
Nothing Phone (2a). This “flatness” tends to happen a lot when shooting with the Phone (2a) in low light. Yes, there's a bit of lens flare from the lamp nearby, but the nighttime shots generally have lackluster shadows and low contrast.
