When it comes to video recording, the Nothing taiwan telegram data Phone 2a did a pretty good job. Whether I used the main lens or the ultra-wide camera, the videos had plenty of detail and great contrast when not zooming. Zooming in does lose some detail and introduce a softness, but otherwise the quality is good. Another thing: unlike photos, the colors in videos are more vibrant, sometimes too vibrant. For example, the grass can look greener than it is in real life. Here’s an example of a video recorded at 1080p at 60 fps:
Remember that optical image stabilization is only available on the main camera. The ultra-wide camera is not a good idea if you need to record video while moving.
Night video recording is also above average: dynamic range and contrast are good, colors are good, and noise is present but not too much. One important limitation is that you can only use Night mode for video with 1080p30 fps video. This mode is not available if you are aiming for 60 fps or 4K resolution. To give you an idea of how well it works, here is an example I recorded with Night mode enabled:
