HIGHLIGHTS

* Nothing Phone (2)’s alleged pricing and storage options in Europe have been leaked.
* The smartphone will reportedly come in two colour options.
* Here’s a look at how the Nothing Phone (2) could be priced according to this leak.

Nothing Phone (2) is one of the most anticipated smartphones, and it’s coming on July 11th. The company has been revealing bits and parts about the phone gradually but there have been several leaks around it as well.

Now a leak reveals what’s supposed to be the storage options and pricing of the Nothing Phone (2) in Europe.

The leaked pricing of the Nothing Phone (2) suggests an almost double increase, which implies we can expect more than just a chipset (which has already been confirmed) and storage upgrade.

Nothing Phone (2) Price and Storage (Rumoured)

The Nothing Phone (2) will be available in two storage variants, and in two colour options.
According to a report by French publication Dealabs Magazine, the Nothing Phone (2) will start at €729 (Rs 65,600 approx) for the base model with 256GB storage.

The smartphone is also said to come in 512GB storage, and this variant will cost €849 (Rs 76,400 approx). The leak comes from a French source, but the prices across Europe are expected to be consistent.

For context, the Nothing Phone (1) came in three variants, but all with 256GB storage. If this leak is indeed true, the Nothing Phone (2) will be getting a 512GB variant for the first time.

The Nothing Phone (1) launch price was €469 for the entry-level model with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, which is almost half of the leaked price of Phone (2).
In terms of colour options, the Nothing Phone (2) will come in white and black just like the Nothing Phone (1).

This isn’t the official pricing, and it’s also for the European market so it will be different for other markets including India. There’s less than three weeks to go for the Nothing Phone (2) launch so we’ll know the official pricing soon.

Nothing Phone (2) Specifications (Expected)

Nothing has so far confirmed a few things about its upcoming phone, and we’ve also come across leaks and rumours. So here’s a roundup of what we know so far about the Nothing Phone (2).

* Display: The smartphone’s display is confirmed to 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. 
* Processor: Nothing Phone (2) is confirmed to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset. 
* Battery: The smartphone is also confirmed to pack a 4,700mAh battery. 
* Software: On the software front, the Nothing Phone (2) will most likely run Android 13-based Nothing OS 2.0 out of the box. It will also received three years of Android updates and four years of security updates.
* Cameras: The Nothing Phone (2) could come feature a 50MP primary camera with optical image stabilisation (OIS). There’s also no word on whether it will be a dual or triple camera setup. For selfies, we could see a 16MP front camera on the Nothing Phone (1). 
* Others: The company has shown the design of the Nothing Phone (2)’s USB Type-C cable which is going to be a transparent one. In India, the smartphone will be available via e-commerce platform Flipkart. 

Nothing Phone (2) pricing and storage options in Europe leak ahead of launch

Nothing is yet to release its smartphone for 2023 called Nothing Phone (2) and this time around, it appears to be almost a proper flagship. We say almost because it will employ last year’s Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC instead of the more recent Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.

In any case, pricing is expected to go up significantly but by how much? Thanks to a French media outlet, we have the pricing of two Nothing Phone (2) storage options – 256GB and 512GB.
The former will likely be paired with 8GB of RAM and will set you back €729 while the beefier 12GB/512GB version will ask €849.

That’s a near-double increase suggesting that there’s going to be more than just a chipset upgrade in store for us.

For reference, the Nothing Phone (1)’s launch price was €469 for the entry-level model with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage.

And even though the leak comes from France and it’s about the French market, prices across Europe will be almost identical.

1) Nothing Phone (2): Flagship pricing leaks with 512 GB storage option for Phone (1) successor.Details?

Ans) According to a reliable leaker, Nothing has priced its second-generation smartphone for 55% more than last year’s Phone (1). Equipped with a Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chipset and sporting a familiar design, the Nothing Phone (2) is rumoured to launch with 256 GB and 512 GB of storage variants.

Nothing is well into its Phone (2) teaser campaign, with the company even going so far as to showcase the smartphone’s USB Type-C cable. While Nothing has not even announced a Phone (2) release date yet, @billbil_kun has revealed European pricing that may surprise Nothing fans. For context, the Phone (1) starts at €469 in the Eurozone with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage.

Reportedly, Nothing will not offer the Phone (2) with 128 GB of storage. Instead, there will be 256 GB and 512 GB variants that @billbil_kun expects Nothing to mate to 8 GB and 12 GB of RAM, respectively. According to the leaker, the Phone (2) will start at €729, including taxes. Meanwhile, the 512 GB edition is said to cost €849,

Arguably, a more appropriate point of comparison with the cheapest Phone (2) SKU will be the 8 GB/256 GB version of the Phone (1), which retails for €499. Even then, the entry-level Phone (2) is €230 more expensive than the equivalent Phone (1) SKU.

Hence, the Phone (2) will only slightly undercut current flagship smartphones, such as the Pixel 7 Pro and the OnePlus 11. In other words, Nothing has moved on from selling mid-range smartphones in a single generation, with a 55% price increase between the cheapest Phone (1) and Phone (2) SKUs.

2) Prices for the Nothing Phone (2) reportedly leak in Europe.Details?

Ans) The highly anticipated Nothing Phone (2) and Nothing OS 2.0 are scheduled to be released on July 11th. While we don’t know the exact details of what the device will look like, the little we know points to it having a higher set of specs than its predecessor, the Nothing Phone (1).

One other detail about the device that has been kept tight-lipped is the price tag. Carl Pei, Founder and CEO of Nothing, has been extremely cautious and meticulous with his marketing tactic of bringing the second iteration of the Nothing Phone to the U.S. smartphone market. We only get bits and pieces at a time, building up the hype and speculation on how much more of an upgrade the Phone (2) will be over the Phone (1).

However, new info has come to light via the French publication Dealabs Magazine, which is shedding some light on what the Nothing Phone (2) will reportedly cost in Europe. According to the source, they were able to get their hands on the price for the two variations of the phone that will be sold in France.

According to previous leaks, the Nothing Phone (2) is expected to be released in both a 256GB and 512GB tier, and this most recent leak corroborates that. In France, the 256GB base model is expected to cost 729€, which roughly converts to $796 USD. That’s an $800 USD price tag, which puts this device slightly under other flagships sold in the U.S., with similar storage capacity, such as the 256GB Pixel 7 Pro ($999 USD), the 256GB Samsung S23+ ($999 USD), and the 256GB iPhone 14 Pro ($1099 USD).

Similarly, the leak states that the 512GB version of the Phone (2) is priced at 849€, which roughly converts to $930 USD. Both of these tiers are supposed to have a black and a white variant, just like the original Phone (1) did.

So far, the only specs that have been confirmed for the Nothing Phone (2) are that it will be powered by a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, come equipped with a 4,700mAh battery, and include support for three years of Android system updates and four years of security updates. Based on what little info we currently have, it is difficult to discern if the rumored price tag is warranted when compared to the competition.

However, Pei has clearly stated that he intends for the Nothing Phone (2) to be a premium device that can compete with the big dogs, with a special interest in attracting iPhone users. At $300 USD less than the current iPhone and the allure design-wise that the first Nothing Phone was, Pei may be uniquely positioned here to enter the highly competitive U.S. smartphone market.
