Nothing, the hype brand launched by OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei, has been making waves since its inception. The company's first attempt at a smartphone, the Nothing Phone (1), was a huge success, selling more than 650,000 units worldwide. Now, everyone is eagerly awaiting the successor to the Phone (1), and the company has officially teased the release of the Nothing Phone (2) which is expected to arrive in the summer of 2023. In this article, we'll look at everything you need to know about the upcoming phone.Nothing Phone (2) DesignThe company has shared a first look at the rear panel of the Nothing Phone (2), and as expected, it features a transparent panel like its predecessor. The white textured plastic covering the internals, the glyph light strip (not illuminated here), and the red recording indicator are all visible. The glyph lights will again prove to be a standout element of this phone, complete with cool new tricks and features, thanks to the in-house software team. The glyph lights will not be RGB but white like before. The company may change the glyph placement on the rear. The front of the phone will still have a symmetrical bezel around the display, and we'll have to wait for more leaks and rumors to know whether the design sees major changes or not.Nothing Phone (2) SpecificationsThe Nothing Phone (2) will be more powerful than its initial release, as the company has already confirmed the flagship Snapdragon 8-series chipset we will find under the hood. Qualcomm's Alex Katouzian accidentally let the cat out of the bag on LinkedIn and mentioned that the Phone (2) will be powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1. In addition, the Phone (2) will also include at least 12GB of RAM along with a virtual RAM feature, 256GB of onboard storage, a 5,000mAh battery (bigger than the Phone 1's 4,500mAh battery), and more. We will also see an adaptive AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate on the Nothing Phone (2).Nothing Phone (2) SoftwareOne of the biggest upgrades on the Phone (2) will come on the software front. After the launch of Phone (1), the London-based company set up an in-house software team, aiming to deliver an elevated stock Android experience. We are excited to see what Nothing has in store.Nothing Phone (2) Release Date and PriceThe Nothing Phone (2) is expected to launch sometime around late June or July 2023 in India, Europe, and the US. As for the price, there are currently no rumors about how much of a price increase we will see, but we expect it to be higher than the Phone (1). With a Snapdragon 8-series chipset, design and software upgrades, and possibly improved cameras, we are expecting a roughly Rs 45,000 starting price for the Nothing Phone (2) in India. It's best to take this expected price with a grain of salt and wait for more leaks or the official release.
