March 7, 2023

HIGHLIGHTS

* Nothing is preparing to launch Nothing Ear (2) this month.
* The Nothing Ear (2) will most likely come with a similar design as the Ear (1).
* The Nothing Ear (1) was launched in India in July 2021.
* The Nothing Ear (2) will be the new premium TWS from the brand.
* The Ear (2) is said to get an “iconic design with elite engineering.”
* Nothing Ear (2) should be available for purchase via Flipkart soon after its launch in India.

Nothing Ear (2) launch date has been officially confirmed. The Carl Pei-owned company confirmed that the Nothing Ear (2) will be the company’s new truly wireless stereo (TWS) earbuds launching later this month.
The Ear (1) has been officially discontinued in India and has been unavailable for quite some time.
This does confirm that the company is making way for the Ear (2), which should be available soon after the global unveiling. The company is likely to partner with Flipkart for the availability of the Ear (2).
In addition to the launch date, the company has also confirmed some of the key features of its TWS.
Let’s take a look at the Nothing Ear (2) launch date, specifications and other details known so far ahead of its official launch.

London-based consumer technology brand

Nothing has announced that it is all set to launch the Nothing Ear (2) on March 22nd. On its official Twitter handle, the company has shared an image that confirms that the successor of Nothing Ear (1) is all set to arrive in the coming weeks.
However, the company has not yet clarified if the product will be initially launched in India or globally.

Nothing Ear (2) launch date, time

The Nothing Ear (2) will be the company’s new premium TWS launching worldwide on March 22. The TWS will have a transparent design. Nothing revealed that the premium TWS earbuds will continue to feature the company’s “iconic design with elite engineering and next-level personalisation for the ultimate sound experience.”
This means that users will get the TWS earbuds and the charging case with a semi-transparent design.
The earbuds will also continue to support Active Noise Cancellation (ANC). Other details confirmed so far include real-time GPS tracking for the earbuds, which will help find them easily in case you lost them somewhere.
The teaser image also teases the design, which suggests that the case will get a new design.

Nothing CEO Carl Pei is known to tease many features of the products that his company is set to launch.
So, it would not be a surprise if more features of the upcoming Nothing TWS earbuds are revealed ahead of the launch on March 22.

Recently, the London-based business has tweeted many unusual images and even a video of the upcoming Nothing Ear (2), which is said to be among the company’s most anticipated products.

“And now, Nothing has revealed that Nothing Ear (2) will be released on March 22 at 15:00 GMT (8:30 PM IST).
Except for the launch date and time, no other details have been shared by the company so far.

A recent report leaked the design of the upcoming earbuds from Nothing. As per the leaked renders, the earbuds will continue to sport a semi-transparent design. The stem continues to exist with a transparent case whereas the internals are protected and covered by a black sheet. Both earbuds have silicone rubber ear tips.
There are some minor changes in the design of the earbuds. The noise-cancelling microphone, for example, has been moved to the red dot on the stem. In comparison, the Ear (1)’s microphone was placed at the top of the earbud.
The stem also has the Nothing Ear (2) branding on it.
The case is said to get some design changes. Nothing is yet to take the wraps off the design details of the charging case. However, considering we are very close to the launch, it would not be a surprise if the case manages to get leaked in the coming days. Nothing might drop a surprise and reveal the design ahead of the launch too.

Nothing Ear (2) design, features (expected)

A recent leak of a render of Nothing Eat (2) suggests that the company will stick with a similar transparent design philosophy as seen on the Ear (1).
The only change that can be seen from the outside is the placement of the noise-cancelling microphone – it used to be on the top, but will be near the red mark on the front of the Ear (2).
To recall, the Nothing Ear (1) was launched in India in 2021 with a transparent design and ANC and was priced at Rs 5,999. However, the price of Nothing Ear (2) is still unknown.

The upcoming Nothing Ear 2 will probably have personalised active noise cancellation (ANC) that can be set to the level that the user wants.
There will also be a “Transparency Mode,” which, as the name suggests, lets outside noise in while music is playing.
It will support dual connectivity, which means that users can connect with two devices at once and switch between them easily.
Last but not least, the company is likely also adding support for Advanced EQ with custom settings and the Find Earbuds Feature.

Nothing Ear (2) Design

Faq’s on Nothing Ear (1)

1)Nothing Ear (1) -Everything you need to know ?

Ans) Nothing Ear (1) was launched in India with a starting price of Rs 5,999. There is no information on what could be the price of the new wireless earbuds, but we can expect the company to keep it under Rs 10,000.
The Nothing earphones will launch on March 22 at 8:30PM. The brand is expected to reveal more details about the upcoming wireless earbuds in the coming days or weeks as we inch closer to the launch event.

The Nothing Ear (2) wireless earbuds are expected to offer support for Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) as well, considering its predecessor featured it. It is being said that the earphones will come with different ANC modes.
It could include Transparency mode, which will let people hear the background noise while listening to music.
The Nothing Ear (2) is tipped to have support for dual connectivity as well. This basically means that users will be able to connect two devices at once with the wireless earbuds and switch between them easily.
The upcoming audio product is also expected to have support for Advanced EQ with custom settings and the Find My Earbuds feature.

2)What are similarities & differences for Nothing Ear(2) & Nothing Ear(1)?

Ans) Little is known about the Ear (2), but we do get a glimpse of what looks like the charging case of the Ear (2), and it looks familiar and transparent, what we have seen with the rest of the Nothing portfolio.
From the pictures that surfaced earlier, the Nothing Ear (2) might not look much different from the Ear (1). However, we expect to see more of the Ear (2) as the launch nears.

Succeeding the Ear (1), the Nothing Ear (2) will be a “mighty refinement.” Nothing says that the Ear (2) carries the iconic style and advanced engineering, providing unparalleled sound quality through exceptional personalization. Furthermore, the Ear (2) will deliver “better sound” and “better clarity” than its predecessor.

According to previous rumours, the upcoming Ear (2) from Nothing is expected to come with some new features, improving on the first ones.
Firstly, personalised Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) will be included, which will allow users to fine-tune the level of noise cancellation according to their preference. This means that users will have more control over their audio experience, whether to cancel out all external noise or reduce it to a comfortable level.

In addition to ANC, the earbuds are expected to have dual or multipoint connectivity, which will enable users to connect to two devices simultaneously and switch between them effortlessly. This feature will be handy for individuals who frequently switch between devices, such as smartphones, laptops, and tablets.

Another feature that the Nothing Ear (2) is rumoured to have is support for Advanced EQ with custom settings. This means that users can customise the earbuds’ sound profile to suit their specific taste in music.

3)When is the launch event of Nothing Ear(2)?

Ans) The launch event for Nothing Ear (2) is set for March 22nd at 8:30 PM IST. Flipkart has already started teasing the launch, which suggests that the earbuds will be available in India at the same time as the global release.

Nothing Phone (2) to be powered by Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset, Qualcomm executive reveals accidentally ahead of Nothing Ear (2)launch

Team My Mobile

March 7, 2023

HIGHLIGHTS

* A Qualcomm executive accidentally named the chipset while congratulating the Nothing team on partnering with Qualcomm once again on Nothing Phone (2).
* The Nothing Phone (2) is scheduled to launch later this year.
* Nothing Phone (2) will likely offer a more flagship-grade experience.
* It is claimed to provide a premium software experience.
* The phone’s SoC details were revealed via a now-deleted LinkedIn post.

Nothing is gearing up for the launch of its new TWS earbuds, the Ear (2). The company has already confirmed some key details about its upcoming premium TWS, which is set to launch on March 22.

Ahead of the official launch, Nothing also revealed some details about the flagship phone, the Phone (2).
The Nothing Phone (1) successor is set to launch later this year. Nothing confirmed that its upcoming smartphone will offer a more premium experience than the original version.
Now, a new leak has revealed some key performance unit details of the upcoming Nothing smartphone.

Nothing CEO Carl Pei recently confirmed that the Phone (2) will feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 series SoC.

At the time of the confirmation during the Mobile World Congress 2023, the Nothing CEO did not reveal any exact details about the chipset.
However, thanks to a post by a Qualcomm executive, the processor details of the Phone (2) have leaked online.

In the world of technology, leaks and rumors are not uncommon. But when an executive from a major company accidentally reveals unknown specifications of an upcoming product, it can cause quite a headache for the company.
The accident happened during MWC 2023 when Qualcomm’s SVP and GM of Mobile, Compute and XR business unit, Alex Katouzian, posted an update on Linkedin congratulating the Nothing team on using the Snapdragon 8 series chip on the Nothing Phone (2).
However, eagle-eyed readers quickly noticed that the post included the mention of the exact SoC being used, which will be the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1.
The mention was just by the way but it was enough to cause excitement among fans of the Nothing community.
While the mention of the chip was quickly removed from the post, it was too late.
We managed to grab a screenshot, as you can see below.

Nothing Phone (2) To Get Flagship-Grade SoC

The Nothing Phone (2) is set to get a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC under the hood.
The details were leaked by Qualcomm’s SVP and GM of Mobile, Compute and XR business unit, Alex Katouzian. The details were posted on Katouzian’s LinkedIn. Minutes after making the post live, the details were deleted.

The post confirms that the Phone (2) will get a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC. While being a generation old, the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC is still quite fast and efficient for most use cases.
It would be interesting to see when the Nothing smartphone launches.
If the device launches by the end of 2023, the Phone (2)’s performance unit might feel a bit dated as Qualcomm might also launch the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 2 SoC in the second half of the year.

Nothing has already sold over 650,000 units of the Nothing Phone (1) to date.
The company plans to offer a premium experience with the second-generation product of its premium smartphone.
The company will have an added emphasis on the software this time around to ensure that the device offers a premium user experience.

With a faster processor and what is said to offer a premium software experience, the upcoming Nothing flagship phone might get a premium price tag too.
The Phone (1)’s price has been fluctuating between Rs 25,000 and Rs 37,000 in India. It would not be a surprise if the Phone (2) has a higher price tag.
The Phone (2) might get the same design as its predecessor — albeit with minor changes here and there.

The Nothing Phone (2) is expected to be the next smartphone from the company, following in the footsteps of its first success story, the Nothing Phone (1).
The company also did reveal that it sold more than 650,000 units of the Nothing Phone (1) to date, which is impressive considering it was a first-generation product.
Apart from the accidental reveal, we do not know much else about what the Nothing Phone (2) might bring to the table.
Nothing CEO Carl Pei earlier confirm that the upcoming phone will be ‘more premium’ than their first smartphone, so we can speculate a better build quality, a redesigned Glyph interface, and better hardware under the hood.
The chipset is already getting a major upgrade, going from Snapdragon 778G+ to the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1. These upgrades will undoubtedly bring up the price of the phone, but we’ll have to wait and see on that.

In the end, the accidental reveal by the Qualcomm executive only added to the hype of the next smartphone by Nothing.
It showed that even major companies can make mistakes and let slip important information, and this gives the fans of the new startup something to look forward to. The next phone is scheduled to launch by the third quarter of this year, so there is still plenty of time before everything falls into place.

While the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor is still a very capable chip, when it comes to face value, it is still an older generation processor, which some might find a little off-putting when it comes to a smartphone releasing in 2023.
As stated before, this is still a very capable processor that packs more than enough power when it comes to daily use and even gaming. In our tests of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 versus the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, we found that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 was better, but not by that much in certain areas.

Now, as and when the phone launch nears, we can expect the company to reveal more details about the upcoming smartphone. Meanwhile, Nothing has confirmed Ear (2) and revealed that it is launching on March 22 globally. The company has been teasing the Nothing Ear (2) for a while now.

Faq’s on Nothing Phone

1)What chip the Nothing Phone (2) will use?

Ans)The slip happened during MWC 2023. Qualcomm’s SVP and GM of Mobile, Compute and XR business unit, Alex Katouzian made a post congratulating Carl Pei and the Nothing team on the launch of the Nothin (2).
There are a few things interesting about the post. Firstly, that phone is nowhere near launch.
We haven’t even gotten any official announcement about it.
What’s more notable, however, is the mention of the processor that this phone is set to use. “Congratulations Cari Pei and the Nothing Team on the launch on the launch of Nothing Phone2 with #qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1.”
Since this bit of information came from an executive over at Qualcomm, we can be sure that it’s correct.
You’d still want to keep an eye out in case anything changes or if Katouzian was actually mistaken.

So, if this phone uses a processor so powerful, then it will definitely be able to go toe-to-toe with the top phones of the year. Sure, it’s half of a generation behind, but the differences in day-to-day performance will be negligible.
With a higher-performing chip, we’re also expecting a higher price tag along with it. Not only is Nothing using a more expensive SoC, but the diminishing economy means that manufacturing the phone will be even more expensive.
We’re not sure how much the phone will cost when it hits the shelves, but let’s hope that it’s close to that of the Nothing Phone (1).

Of course, for those that were hoping for and wanted the best possible internals inside the Nothing Phone 2, it looks like that probably won’t be happening this year. Again, as stated before, this isn’t a huge blow to the handset, and by using an older generation processor, there’s always the chance, or there’s a likely chance that the price of the device will debut much lower than competitors offerings.
But, it’d be interesting to hear your thoughts on this? What do you think about the Nothing Phone 2 using an older generation processor?

2) Whats new in the Nothing Phone (2) in comparison to Nothing Phone (1) ?

Ans)Now with a better build and specifications, we believe that the price of the Nothing Phone (2) may also go up quite a bit. The Phone (1) was launched in three variants in India – the base 8GB RAM plus 128GB storage model comes at a price of Rs 32,999. The other two models — 8GB RAM plus 256GB storage and 12GB RAM and 256GB storage come at a price of RS 35,999 and Rs 38999.
Although, the company has offered the phone with big discounts every other month since its launch. So, it is safe to assume that the price of the Nothing Phone (2) could be higher when compared to the Phone (1)
