Nothing Phone (2) is set to debut globally and in India on July 11th. The company has already confirmed the chipset, display size and battery capacity of the phone.
Now, ahead of the launch next month, Nothing founder and CEO Carl Pei has teased the USB Type-C to Type-C cable that will be bundled with the Phone (2). This comes with a brand-new design, unlike the one that shipped with the Phone (1).
Carl Pei founded Nothing is famous for its transparent design accessories. Till now, the company made transparent TWS earbuds and smartphones. However, in a recent movie, Carl confirmed it would soon release a transparent Type-C to Type-C cable for its upcoming launch.
Hours after teasing the cable, the founder revealed the design of its upcoming cable via Twitter.
It seems that the transparent charging cable would be limited to Nothing Phone (2) as of now.
Here’s everything you need to know about Nothing Phone (2) transparent Type-C charging cable.
Nothing Phone (2) USB Type-C cable’s Design
There is a new silver-coloured finish with a transparent design for the outer shell.
This is in line with the phone’s transparent design.
The Type-C cable has ‘Nothing’ branding, which is again new.
The colour of the cable is White, similar to the one that came with the Nothing Phone (1).
Nothing Phone (2) will also not come with a charging brick in the box.
The company is selling a 45W charging brick on Flipkart, though the Phone (1) only supports 33W fast charging.
It remains to be seen whether Nothing Phone (2) will get faster charging speeds.
Nothing Phone (2) Gets a Transparent Type-C Cable
Nothing is all set to launch its second smartphone on July 11 in India and in other global markets. The phone will have the same transparent design as its predecessor, Phone (2).
However, we expect that there could be some improvements in the glyph interface and LED lightning. The transparent design of the Phone (1) helped the company to stand out among the ocean of smartphone companies in the mid-budget range.
The company has announced that it will now release a special-looking cable for its upcoming device. Carl Pei earlier today teased the cable by tweeting, “Man our new USB Type-C cable is nice”
Four hours later, the founder revealed the first look of the Nothing Phone (2) transparent Type-C cable. As per the image shared by Carl, both the end ports would have transparent lids instead of the plastic coating that we get to see on the regular cables. Inside the ports, we can see the Nothing logo.
Do note that the rest of the part i.e. wire would be covered by different materials, polycarbonate most likely. The rest of the details are wrapped. As of now, it would be hard to say if the cables would be sold separately or not.
The Nothing Phone (2) smartphone boxes are expected to carry these transparent bundles. Let’s know more about the device.
