The launch date for the Nothing Phone (2) is finally out. The 5G phone will officially arrive in India and global markets on July 11.
The company has confirmed the date to the media. The event will take place at 8:30PM in the second week of July.
Let’s take a look at the design, price, and specifications of the upcoming Nothing phone.
Nothing Phone (2) launch date
Nothing Phone (2) is scheduled to release on July 11th, the company announced on Twitter. The launch event will take place in London at 16:00 BST which would be 8:30 pm IST for viewers in India. Nothing will live stream the event on its official website.
Nothing Phone (2): Expected price in India
The Nothing Phone (2) is expected to be priced at around Rs 40,000 in India and it will be on sale via Flipkart as the teasers for this 5G phone are already up on this e-commerce platform.
In the same price range, the Phone (2) will likely be seen competing with phones like OnePlus 11R and Pixel 7a, which is a prediction based on the specifications that the company has officially confirmed. To recall, the Nothing Phone (1) was made available in India with a price tag of Rs 32,999.
Nothing Phone (2) design hinted by the company
The latest Nothing phone is expected to have a design similar to the Nothing Phone (1). This is something that the company has hinted in a recent interview and the rumour mill has also suggested previously.
When the company’s CEO Carl Pei was asked about Glyph Interface with LEDs at the back that we saw on the Phone (1), Pei asserted that the upcoming 5G phone will have more customization options and functionality.
This suggests that we will likely get to see the same design. The company has also hinted that the major focus this time is on improving and offering a better software experience to users.
He didn’t explicitly mention we will get the same LED design at the back of the Phone (2), but the mention of more customization options suggests that Nothing is planning to offer an older design.
There are chances that the new Nothing phone could come with some changes at the back panel to offer users a refreshing look. The brand has previously confirmed that the new 5G phone features an aluminum side frame.
We will likely get more details on the design department soon as the launch event is nearing.
Nothing Phone (2): Expected specifications
The Nothing Phone (2) will be powered by a flagship Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset, which the OnePlus 11R smartphone is also using.
The device sports a 6.7-inch display and a 4,700mAh battery under the hood. While the company hasn’t confirmed the charging details, we expect it to offer support for fast charging tech because the same was also available with the Nothing Phone (1).
The details of the camera sensors are yet to be revealed by the company.
Nothing also revealed that its new Phone (2) smartphone will be eligible to receive three years of Android OS upgrades and four years of security patches.
The company has promised that the latest Nothing OS build will offer a faster experience and more features to users.
We expect the device to ship with Android 13 OS out of the box because the company offers the latest operating system with its new device.
Nothing Phone (2) specifications (Expected)
Nothing has so far revealed the chipset and battery details of the Phone (2). Rest of the specifications are rumoured or speculated.
So here’s what we know about the Nothing Phone (2) thus far.
* Nothing Phone (2) will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset, and pack a 4,700mAh battery.
* The smartphone’s display will be 0.15 inches bigger than the Nothing Phone (1) which means it will be a 6.7-inch screen as compared to the latter’s 6.55-inch display.
* On the Nothing Phone (2), the video indicator will be pill-shaped which is visible on the smartphone’s teaser image.
* The upcoming phone is also confirmed to receive three years of Android updates and four years of security updates.
* Nothing Phone (2) will be available in India as the company has already confirmed that it will be manufactured in Tamil Nadu by BYD Electronic which is a Shenzen-based manufacturer. The Nothing Phone (1) was also manufactured at the same facility. It will also be the company’s most sustainable product with the phone’s parts and components will be made from recycled materials and sustainable plastic. The upcoming phone is also said to have a carbon footprint of 53.45kg, which is 5kg lower than the Phone (1).

Faqs on Nothing Phone (2)
1) Nothing Phone (2) India Launch: What You Need to Know ?
Ans) Nothing Phone (2) India launch event will be hosted on July 11 at 8.30 PM. The company has confirmed the same while teasing the design. According to the teaser invite, the Phone (2) will get an updated Glyph Interface. The company seems to have worked on the LED lights design, which is now a bit more separated than what we have seen in the Phone (1). The noticeable differences are around the camera module and wireless charging lights.
These design changes seem to be in line with the leaked design renders of the Phone (2), which also revealed that the device will continue to feature a semi-transparent design. The upcoming Nothing smartphone is also supposedly a lot more curvier on the sides, according to the leaked renders. However, soon after the alleged design renders leaked, CEO Carl Pei took to Twitter and tweeted “fake”, suggesting that the leaked design renders are not completely accurate.
Meanwhile, what is confirmed is the Phone (2)’s display size. The device will sport a 6.7-inch display. It should feature an AMOLED panel and offer support for a 120Hz refresh rate. If the leaked design renders are true for the display bit at least, the device will feature a hole-punch cutout at the top left corner for the front camera. Also, the screen will remain flat on all sides.
Under the hood, the device will feature a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC, which will also help Nothing unlock many camera features due to the upgraded Spectra 570 image signal processor (ISP). This includes support for Raw HDR and 4K video recording at 60 fps.
In addition to this, the device is also confirmed to pack a 4700mAh battery. The upgrades might lead to a bump in the price. We can expect the device to launch in India for around Rs 40,000. Here’s a quick look at the Nothing Phone (2) specifications and features known so far:
Display: 6.7-inch 120Hz AMOLED display with a Full HD+ resolution.
Performance: Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC
RAM/ storage: 8GB/ 12GB, 128GB/ 256GB.
Battery: 4700mAh battery with 33W fast charging support.
Rear camera: 50MP main camera and 50MP ultra-wide camera.
Front camera: 32MP front camera.
Software: Android 13-based Nothing OS 1.5 out of the box. Nothing OS 2.0 confirmed to be in works.
Other specifications: Glyph Interface, in-display fingerprint scanner, dual speakers, etc.
2) Nothing Phone (2) to launch on July 11.Details?
Ans) London-headquartered consumer tech company Nothing will launch the much-awaited successor to its maiden smartphone, the Phone (2), on July 11. The company will unveil Phone (2) in London — the launch event can be streamed online from 8.30 pm on Nothing’s official website.
The Phone (2) is the successor to Phone (1), easily one of the best-looking smartphones I’ve ever used or reviewed. The Phone (1) had a clean, stock Android interface and came with up to 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage. At launch, it was priced around Rs 33,000.
The Phone (2) is expected to be a more premium offering — the smartphone is confirmed to be powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset and have a 4,700 mAh battery — slightly larger than the 4,500 mAh sported by its predecessor. This will also be the first time Nothing will sell a smartphone in the United States. The Phone (2) will run Nothing OS 2.0 out of the box.
Pricing and other details remain a mystery — for now. However, Nothing co-founder and CEO Carl Pei, in a recent interview with Forbes, said the price will be at a more acceptable level. ” …the latest technology comes at a cost which isn’t always justified from a user-benefit standpoint. Choosing Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 ensures that Phone (2) remains accessible while delivering a significantly improved experience compared to Phone (1),” Pei had said in the interview with Forbes.
The Nothing Phone (1) sported a dual camera array on the back — 50-megapixel primary and ultrawide shooters. It currently runs on the Android 13-based Nothing OS 1.5. But the standout features were the snazzy glyph interface and the retro-chic user interface, simultaneously making this phone feel futuristic and a callback to the good old feature phones of yore.
The Phone (2) will become the fifth product in Nothing’s portfolio — joining the Ear (1), Phone (1), Ear (stick), and Ear (2).
