Nothing Phone (2) is set to launch next month worldwide. The company has confirmed that it will launch its new flagship smartphone in India, the US and other markets in July. The exact launch date of the Phone (2) is under wraps.

Ahead of the launch, Nothing has been teasing the specifications and features of the Phone (2). The company has also given a glimpse of the phone’s design, which suggests that it will continue to sport a semi-transparent design.

A month ahead of the launch, the Phone (2)’s design renders have leaked online. Tipster OnLeaks and Industry Sources uploaded the design renders of the upcoming Nothing flagship smartphone.

The design renders reveal that the device has a transparent back panel with LED strips on it. While the design language is the same as the Phone (1), there are a few changes introduced.

Nothing Phone (2) has slowly started taking the limelight. The company already confirmed the phone’s battery capacity, display size and chipset details. The Flipkart listing is already live and the handset will be manufactured in India.

Now, while we wait for the official launch in July, the Nothing Phone 2 renders have surfaced, courtesy of Smartprix and OnLeaks.

The renders are based on live pictures of a Nothing Phone (2) testing unit. It’s possible that the final design of the Nothing Phone (2) may differ slightly due to changes in the latter stages of development.

On first look, the Nothing Phone (1) and Phone (2) look quite identical but there are some subtle changes.

The Nothing Phone (2) will be officially unveiled next month. Thanks to the leakster @OnLeaks we now have access to early renders of the Nothing Phone (2).

The device retains its signature transparent back design and prominent Glyph Light strips. However, there are a few changes this time around.

Let’s take a look at the Nothing Phone (2) design, specifications and other details known so far.

Nothing Phone (2) Features a new design

As confirmed already by the company, the most notable change is the size of the phone. The Nothing Phone (2) will have a 6.7-inch OLED display, which is slightly larger than the 6.55-inch display on the original Nothing Phone. It looks like the larger size prompted the need to change up the ergonomics.

The leaked renders of the Nothing Phone (2) suggest that it will have a more rounded design than its predecessor.

The aluminum sides are now curved, and the glass panels on the front and back have a slight arc to them. This change in design gives the phone a more modern and sleek look.

The Glyph interface will also be updated. The light strips will be segmented into separate segments.

This is supposed to give users more control over how the system lights up. As expected, users can choose to have the lights flash for notifications or pulse to the beat of the music.

The smartphone is still in the testing phase, so there may be some small changes to the design before it is released. However, the early renders of the Nothing Phone (2) that have been released so far give us a good idea of what to expect.

A major change in design is unlikely now since we’re nearing the launch. That means the Nothing Phone (2) will be sticking with a dual-camera setup.

The flash though, now has two LEDs instead of one on the Phone (1). But that’s the only addition for the camera department.

Expected Price

Nothing Phone (2)

Powering the phone will be a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip. But it is rumored to stick to the mid-range market rather than taking on a flagship. The original Phone (1) was also a mid-range phone, but it started at a lower price of €470/£400/₹33,000.

It is unclear whether the Phone (2) will start at the same price or at a higher price. The Phone (2) will also be available in the US.

Nothing Phone (2): Here’s What It Might Look Like

Nothing Phone (2) will be the company’s new flagship smartphone launching later this year. The device’s design renders have leaked online. According to the render images shared by OnLeaks, the Phone (2) follows the design language of its predecessor but gets some minor changes.

The Nothing flagship will have a slightly curved rear and front panel, which the report claims are reminiscent of a 2.5D design. The slight curvature is likely to add to the sleek and ergonomic feel of the device.

On the front, there are fairly thin bezels around the display, which also sports a hole-punch cutout at the top left corner. This is very much unlike most other phones out there, which sport a hole-punch cutout at the top centre.

The frame of the device is also slightly rounded, which will help it differentiate from the outgoing model. Nothing has already confirmed that the device will feature 100 per cent recycled aluminium.

The SIM tray is on the right side, whereas on the left edge are the power and volume keys. At the bottom, there is the USB Type-C port and the primary speaker grille.

The LED lights on the back continue to exist but with minor design changes. The LED lights around the camera module have been redesigned. The lights around the wireless charging coil have also received a redesign.

Instead of a single long strip, the Nothing Phone 2 now utilises multiple small strips of lights.

Nothing is yet to officially revealed the design of the Phone (2) yet. Therefore, while OnLeaks has an impressive record, we would advise taking the leak with a pinch of salt.

The company has confirmed some other details about the device. For starters, the Phone (2) will feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC under the hood, which will unlock many features for the camera along with impressive power efficiency compared to the Snapdragon 778G+ SoC.

It will feature a 6.7-inch display and a bigger 4700mAh battery as well. The device is also confirmed to be made in India

* Let’s start with the design first. Similar to the Nothing Phone (1), there is a left-positioned punch-hole cutout for the selfie shooter and slim bezels, which doesn’t appear symmetrical.

* The power button is on the right spine, while the volume rocker is on the left edge.

* The USB Type-C port, SIM tray section, and speaker grill are at the bottom.

* Nothing will retain the transparent back panel design with similar LED light strips.

* The Nothing Phone (2) will have dual camera sensors like the predecessor and an LED flash. The phone will also have wireless charging support.

* The renders can be seen in White colour but there could be a Black colour option at launch.

Nothing Phone 1 vs Nothing Phone 2: What has changed?

While the overall outlook might appear similar, there are some notable changes and enhancements compared to the predecessor, going by the report.

* Lighting: The LED lights on the back of the Nothing Phone (2) are tweaked, especially those surrounding the camera module. While the Phone (1) had a C-shaped lighting design, the Nothing Phone (2) features a more angled lighting strip. This change gives the phone a fresh new look.

* Rounded Frame: Nothing Phone (1) featured a more boxy design akin to the most recent iPhones. But the Phone (2) has a more rounded frame. This offers a more comfortable grip on hands and a premium aesthetic appeal.

* Curved design: The back and front of the phone have a slight curvature. This offers an immersive viewing experience and also a better grip.

* LED flash layout: The Nothing Phone (2) gets an upgraded dual LED configuration. This should improve the lighting of the images during low-light conditions.

* Wireless charging lights: In addition to the camera module’s lights, the wireless charging coil has undergone a significant change. Instead of a single long strip, the Nothing Phone (2) will feature multiple small strips of lights. This should allow for independent control of each strip.

Nothing Phone (2) Specifications (Expected)

Nothing Phone (2)

* Display: The Nothing Phone (2) will feature a 6.7-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and an in-display fingerprint sensor.

* Processor: The Phone (2) will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen1 SoC

* Cameras: The Nothing Phone (2) is expected to feature a 50MP primary camera with OIS. But the secondary camera sensor details are under wraps.

* RAM and Storage: The Nothing Phone (2) is tipped to launch in three variants of 8GB + 128GB, 8GB + 256GB, and 12GB + 256GB.

* Battery: The phone will come with a 4,700mAh battery.

1) Nothing Phone 2 Design Renders Leaked Ahead of July Launch; to Feature Redesigned LED Layout: Report

Ans) Nothing Phone 2 design renders have leaked online. The Nothing flagship smartphone is confirmed to launch in India in July. The company has not revealed the exact launch date just yet. Meanwhile, a new leak from the rumour mill has revealed the Nothing Phone 2 design renders ahead of the launch. The leaked design renders suggest that the Nothing Phone 2 will have some changes on the outside. The device will continue to sport a transparent rear panel, which will house LED lights for the Glyph Interface.

A report by Smartprix in collaboration with tipster Steve Hemmerstoffer (Twitter: @OnLeaks), claims that the Nothing Phone 2 will feature a slightly curved aluminium frame. The front and rear panels are also said to be slightly curved, reminiscent of a “2.5D” design. In comparison, the Nothing Phone 1 sported a flat rear panel and frame. The display has fairly thin bezels. It continues to sport a hole-punch cutout at the top left corner for the front camera.

The big highlight in the leaked image of the Nothing Phone 2 is the updated LED strip design for the Glyph Interface. According to the report, the Nothing Phone 1’s LED strip around the camera module has been split into two parts. The two LED strips are now like an arc around the dual-camera setup. It will also feature an updated dual LED configuration, according to the report.

Meanwhile, the LED strip around the wireless charging coil will also be redesigned, according to the leaked report. It has been broken down into small strips of lights, which should help the Nothing Phone 2 differentiate itself from the outgoing model.

Other details revealed via the leaked design renders include the location of the power button on the right side of the frame, whereas the volume rockers can be found on the left. The USB Type-C port and speaker grille are at the bottom edge of the phone, as per the report.

Nothing has not officially confirmed any details about the design of the upcoming Nothing Phone 2. The company, previously revealed that the Nothing Phone 2 will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC. It is also confirmed to sport a taller 6.7-inch display and pack a 4,700mAh battery under the hood. The phone will also receive three years of Android OS updates, along with four years of security updates, according to the firm.

2) Nothing Phone 2 design revealed in leaked renders.Details?

Ans) Some Nothing Phone 2 leaked renders have surfaced online. Here’s what the 5G mobile looks like. The device sports several LEDs on the rear panel, similar to its predecessor, the Nothing Phone 1. The design pattern however has been modified, as has the ergonomics of the mobile. The Nothing Phone 2 has a slightly curved design on the back and the front, which means it has a curved display.

The Dual LED flash on the smartphone has been redesigned along with those of the wireless charging lights that now feature several small light strips instead of a single long one. The device has a power button on the right side of the frame, and volume rocker keys on the left side.
The Nothing Phone 2 leaked images shared by Smartprix and OnLeaks confirm that the device does not have a 3.5 mm headphone jack, the bottom of the mobile is home to a single speaker grille and a USB Type-C port. Here’s a brief overview of the Nothing Phone 2 specs.

3) Nothing Phone (2) renders show a more rounded design, dual camera setup

Ans) The Nothing Phone (2) will be officially unveiled next month, but you can have a sneak peek right now thanks to @OnLeaks and Smartprix. The new design is recognizably “Nothing” with its transparent back and prominent Glyph light strips.

However, there are a few key changes. The company has confirmed that its second smartphone will have a larger display at 6.7” (up from 6.55”) and it seems that it felt the need to change up the ergonomics.
The new design has rounded aluminum sides, even the glass panels on the front and the back have a slight arc to them. This is contrast with the Phone (1), which had squared off sides along with a flat front and back.

The light strips for the Glyph interface are now segmented. This could give users more fine grain control over the system, which serves as status indicator, notification light and just as something to add some cool factor. @OnLeaks notes that the renders are based on a unit from the testing stage, so there may be some small tweaks to the final design.
Major tweaks are unlikely, however, which means that the Nothing Phone (2) is sticking with a dual-camera setup. The flash now has two LEDs instead of just one, but that’s the only addition.

The Phone (2) will be moving upmarket with a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, but it will stick to the mid-range field instead of taking on flagships. The original launched with a base price of €470/£400/₹33,000, we’ll see whether the new one maintains this price or starts higher. Oh, and this one is coming to the US too.
