Nothing Phone (2) Sports a Different Design Than Phone (1)
Memes have been floating on Twitter recently, which implies that the Nothing Phone (2) will look similar to that of the Nothing Phone (1).
Seeing these memes, Nothing CEO Carl Pei has tweeted, “To everyone sending me this: just you wait and see”.
This tweet by CEO again hints that the leaked renders are incorrect and the Nothing Phone (2) will have significant changes compared to Phone (1).
The brand revealed a small teaser while revealing the Phone (2) launch date.
The teaser shown by the company showcased to us that the Phone (2) will have a slight
alteration in the alignment of the glyph interface, which the previously leaked renders also disclosed.

Carl Pei on Nothing Phone (2) design
After Twitterati ridiculed the upcoming Nothing Phone (2) renders, saying it will look exactly like its predecessor, the CEO responded with a message that suggests the design of the Nothing Phone (2) would be different from the Nothing Phone (1).
Pei posted a meme with the caption, “to everyone sending me this: just you wait and see!”
Recently, renders of the upcoming Nothing Phone (2) leaked online, which indicated that the Nothing Phone (1) and Nothing Phone (2) might look identical with subtle changes. However, later the CEO called it “fake”.
Considering that the London-based smartphone brand has already shared a sneak peek of a similar design for the Nothing Phone (2), with only a few changes in the arrangement of the glyph interface on the back, it is expected that there might be no major changes.
However, we will only learn about the actual redesign when it is launched.
Nothing Phone (2) launch date
The official launch date for the upcoming Nothing Phone (2) is July 11th, as stated by the company on the microblogging site.
The event will take place in London at 4:00 PM BST, which corresponds to 8:30 PM IST for viewers in India. Meanwhile, the company will live stream the launch event on its official website.

“Just wait and see,” says the OnePlus co-founder After Twitter users mocked the upcoming Nothing Phone 2 for looking the same as the Phone 1, CEO Carl Pei responded with a tweet that hinted at a design departure. He said, “to everyone sending me this: just you wait and see!”
This contradicts recently leaked renders, which show no major design changes from the Phone 1.
At this time, it remains unclear what new changes Nothing could implement in the upcoming smartphone.
Given that the company has already teased a similar design for the Phone 2, with only some alterations in the alignment of the glyph interface on the back, you shouldn’t expect anything too drastic.
We will have to wait and see what Nothing has in store when the Phone 2 is officially announced in July.
Nothing delivered on its promises with the Phone 1, so expectations are high for the second iteration.
Carl Pei-led startup aims to revolutionize the “boring” smartphone market.
Phone 2 will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 processor backed by a 4,700mAh battery unit.
There may be improvements in the display and camera departments as well.
