With something new happening every day, WhatsApp is here with another new update. With this update, the WhatsApp beta available on Microsoft will be up to 2.2323.1.0. This update features a new call-back feature.
It allows the users to call the missed calls back, and as with all the updates, it is available for some fortunate beta testers.

WhatsApp is always on the roll to fix any issue, like bugs, and moves towards introducing new features for its application on Windows. This time, the messaging platform has added a new feature in regards to missed calls.

WhatsApp Web Beta

The “call button” allows the missed calls to be more visible and noticeable. When a call goes unanswered or the user misses a call, this button appears within an event message. This feature is available for users who install the latest version of WhatsApp for Windows, which can be availed from the Microsoft Store.

This button simply provides an easier and quicker way to call up their missed calls by simply tapping on the button. WhatsApp intends to highlight any unanswered calls that may have been of prime importance.
This button may be a simple improvement, but it enhances the user interface of the WhatsApp version for Windows.

With a steady stream of fresh upgrades, WhatsApp is here with another new feature for iOS and Android users. The messaging service is getting ready to roll out a new feature that will let users send short video messages up to 60 seconds long.

Call back

As with previous beta upgrades, this one is first accessible to a small group of beta testers before being made available to more users. By enabling users to send brief video messages, this feature improves the platform’s communication capabilities.

According to WABetaInfo, you may check to see if the functionality is active on your smartphone by touching on the microphone icon located on the chat bar of any conversation. You can now use the feature if the button transforms into a button for a video camera.

When a user sends or receives a video message, they must enlarge the video by touching on it in order to hear the audio. In order for the recipient to receive the video messages, the user must additionally request that they update their WhatsApp version.

Previously, another new feature that WhatsApp released allowed certain beta users to screen share during a group call over the messaging service. Users who have access to the capability can share the content that is now shown on their screen by selecting one of the options under the video call button control.

WhatsApp will ask you if you want to share all of your screen or just a portion of it when you press the button.
One can continue to communicate the contents of their screen even after participants have joined the call through their mobile devices. This function is comparable to what Google Meet offers.

WhatsApp added the voice call feature to its desktop app in 2021. Now, the social media platform is reportedly bringing more updates to the voice and video calling features on the web version.

The Meta-owned instant messaging app is reportedly rolling out a ‘call back’ notification that will ensure that no missed call goes unnoticed.
The update is currently reported to be rolling out for beta users on the Microsoft Store, with the new version 2.2323.1.0. The feature will gradually roll out to more users globally.

In the new beta update for WhatsApp web, the “call back” prompt will be shown next to the missed call alert for WhatsApp users on Windows, according to the screenshots shared in a WABetaInfo report.

Currently, when a video or voice call get missed on WhatsApp, it simply shows as a missed call alert.

WhatsApp Crash

With the new beta update, as soon as the users would tap on the call back icon, it would let them return the calls instantly, whether they are voice or video calls.

Beta testers of WhatsApp web will need to install the app’s latest version 2.2323.1.0 from Microsoft Store to get this feature. WhatsApp web’s previous 2.2322.1.0 version will also be able to run this feature for some users.

Meta will reportedly be rolling out this update globally soon and it shall reach more users in the coming weeks.

Hopping on the generative AI trend, Meta is also planning to load WhatsApp with a ChatGPT-like chatbots in the coming days, which will be able to converse with the users in different personas.
The company also announced last month about its progress on testing tools that use AI to generate image backgrounds and variations of written copy for their ad campaigns.
Meanwhile, WhatsApp is also beta testing the display of profile icons next to messages on group chats.

WhatsApp Web beta users are now receiving a new Call Back feature in their app. WABetaInfo reports that the feature is rolling out for users with the new version 2.2323.1.0.

Meta

Notably, the Meta-owned instant messaging platform rolled out video and voice calling features to its desktop client in September 2021. Now, the company is adding new capabilities to the calling feature on WhatsApp Web clients.

This feature will ensure that none of the missed calls received by WhatsApp Web users go unnoticed. Here’s all you need to know about the WhatsApp Web Call Back feature.

In good news for WhatsApp users around the world, the popular instant messaging application is reportedly planning to roll out a new call-back feature for missed calls.
The Meta-owned WhatsApp has introduced this feature to make missed calls more noticeable.

Also, the call-back feature is available after installing one of the latest versions of WhatsApp beta for Windows from the Microsoft Store.

“WhatsApp keeps working on introducing bug fixes and new features for the native application on Windows. After introducing support for screen-sharing, WhatsApp is now adding minor improvements regarding missed calls. This new addition is a “Call back” button that appears within an event message when a call goes unanswered,” WABetaInfo reported.

WhatsApp Upcoming Update

As per the screenshot shared by WABetaInfo, the “Call back” button is now visible in the event message generated when a call is missed on WhatsApp. This button provides users with a quick way to return a missed call with just a single tap.

By implementing this feature, WhatsApp wants to better highlight missed calls and the ability to call back.
According to the report, the “Call back” button provides a clear visual indicator within the chat of the caller that a call has been missed. In fact, some users may not know that they can quickly call the contact by simply clicking on the “Missed call” message event.

With this button, the Meta-owned messaging application wants to make it clearer that the message event is dedicated to the possibility of calling back the contact after receiving a missed call.

This feature is currently being tested by select beta users, and it will be gradually rolled out to more users in the coming days. If you don’t see the update on the Microsoft Store yet, rest assured that it will become available to a wider audience soon.

WhatsApp Web Call Back Feature Rolling Out to Beta Users

WhatsApp Upcoming Update

As you can see in the screenshot shared by WABetaInfo, the callback prompt is shown next to the missed call notifications within the chat window itself. Currently, for regular WhatsApp Web users, the app only shows missed call notifications to users.

With the new feature, users can click on the callback button to instantly return the call. It works for both voice and video calls. It will make a return voice call or video call, depending on the type of call they missed.

The new WhatsApp Web call back feature will be available to users downloading the latest 2.2323.1.0 version from Microsoft Store. WABetaInfo notes that the new version might not show for some users.
But not to worry since the update is rolling out worldwide gradually and is expected to reach all beta users in the next few weeks. We can also expect the feature to land on a stable release soon.

WhatsApp Upcoming Update

Recently, WhatsApp also improved video communication on Android and iOS beta platforms. Taking a leaf from Snapchat and Telegram’s book, WhatsApp has introduced video message sharing in its latest WhatsApp beta for iOS 23.12.0.71 and WhatsApp beta for Android 2.23.13.4. The feature allows users to send real-time video messages up to 60 seconds to their contacts.

The company recently also rolled out its screen sharing during video call feature to the iOS beta platform. The feature was already available to Android beta users. The feature adds a new dedicated screen-sharing button in the bottom row during the video call.

It is clear that WhatsApp is working overtime to become a one-stop solution for all voice and video-related services and take on platforms like Meets, Zoom, Skype, etc. WhatsApp might race past its alternatives due to the massive user base of around 2.78 billion and new features being added.

Along with these updates, WhatsApp announced the introduction of Channels, and as with any update, it is now available to some beta users. Under a brand-new tab called Updates, users may browse Channels and Status.

This feature makes it possible for people and organisations all over the world to interact and makes one-way broadcast conversations easier. However, Telegram, an open-source platform, already offers features quite similar to this one.

How Does ‘Call back’ work?

Call back

As per a screenshot uploaded by WABetaInfo on its website, the ‘Call back’ button is now visible on the event message that shows up when a call is missed on WhatsApp.

Also, as seen in the image attached above, one must simply tap the button to call back (hence the feature name) the person who made the first call.

Why is WhatsApp bringing this Feature?

WhatsApp, the report says, ‘wants to make it clearer that the message event is dedicated to the possibility of calling back the contact after receiving a missed call.’

Cloud Computing

The instant messaging service has, for now, made the ‘Call back’ option available to select beta users only, so that it can be tested for any possible flaw or shortcoming before a more general release.

* The device will be an upgraded variant of iQOO 11.
* The iQOO 11s will not feature the Vivo V2 ISP; instead the production model will have a dedicated display chipset.

iQOO 11S: Official picture reveals familiar design for future flagship

iQOO 11S

 

A Vivo executive has confirmed that iQOO plans to release a new version of the iQOO 11, six months after the flagship’s launch.
The iQOO 11S is expected to arrive later this year with 200 W fast charging and a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 or Dimensity 9300 chipset.

It appears that iQOO is close to releasing a refresh of the iQOO 11, which it announced in December 22. References to the iQOO 11S have been seen before, with Digital Chat Station referring to the device at least twice in recent weeks.
While iQOO has not confirmed the existence of the iQOO 11S yet, Jia Jingdong, Vivo’s China VP and GM of Brand and Product Strategy, has shared a picture of the device on Weibo.

For reference, Vivo is the parent company of iQOO, itself a brand of BBK electronics. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the back of the iQOO 11S appears unchanged from the iQOO 11, as is the case with the upcoming Vivo X90s.

iQOO 11S

Thus, it seems likely that the former will retain the latter’s 6.78-inch display, which operates at 1440p, 144 Hz and is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus.
Reportedly, the iQOO 11S will rely on a smaller 4,700 mAh battery, albeit one that it can recharge at 200W, an 80 W higher peak wattage than its predecessor.

However, it is unclear which chipset will power iQOO’s future flagship. Previously, Digital Chat Station has claimed that iQOO would continue to rely on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, the same chipset it uses in the current iQOO 11.

iQOO 11S

With no ‘Plus’ mid-cycle refresh, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 remains Qualcomm’s most powerful smartphone chipset until later this year.
Conversely, GSMArena asserts that the iQOO 11S could be a candidate for the Dimensity 9300, an unreleased chipset that MediaTek is not expected to announce until the autumn.

iQOO is working on a new smartphone under the iQOO 11 series. The upcoming iQOO 11S smartphone is said to feature improved fast charging support and better performance.
The upcoming device would be the last flagship from iQOO to launch ahead of iQOO 12 series smartphones.

iQOO 11S

The smartphone was recently listed in China’s MIIT (Ministry of Industry and Information Technology), indicating that the launch is nearing.
Previously, a report revealed that iQOO would launch the smartphone in July.

Vivo China VP and GM of Brand and Product Strategy Jia Jingdong shared the image of the smartphone in a Weibo post.
The company official also shared the image of the upcoming Vivo X90S smartphone.

iQOO 11s is tipped to be in the works and is expected to launch very soon. Although the company is yet to reveal anything about the phone, rumours have now started flowing.

iQOO 11S

Now, tipster DigitalChatStation has shared some key details about the phone on Weibo, which is a microblogging platform in China.
In the post, he says the upcoming iQOO 11s will not feature the Vivo V2 ISP, instead the production model will have a dedicated display chipset.

iQOO is gearing up to launch another smartphone in the iQOO 11 series ahead of the launch of the iQOO 12 series in China. A tipster recently revealed that iQOO would launch the device in China in early July.

We can expect iQOO to officially announce and start teasing the features of the upcoming smartphone in the coming weeks. Popular tipster Digital Chat Station has tipped the specifications of the upcoming iQOO 11S smartphone.

iQOO 11S Design Revealed Officially

iQOO 11S

The image shared by the official reveals the design similar to a vanilla iQOO 11 smartphone.
The official hasn’t shared any images of the front and sides of the smartphone. The rear camera layout is also similar to the vanilla iQOO 11 smartphone. iQOO branding can also be seen in the middle of the bottom of the device.

Previously, the MIIT listing revealed that the model number would be V2304A. The listing has also revealed the support for 5G.
Apart from this, the MIIT listing hasn’t confirmed the moniker or the other specifications of the device.
Digital Chat Station has previously revealed that iQOO will equip the device with an upgraded Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset.

There are rumours that iQOO will equip the device with MediaTek Dimensity 9300 SoC. iQOO is said to equip the device with a large 5000mAh battery. The company will also equip with an upgraded 200W fast charging tech.

iQOO 11S

The company will likely retain 6.78 inches Samsung E6 AMOLED display with a 2K resolution. The display will also retain the same 144Hz refresh rate.

iQOO is tipped to launch the smartphone in the international markets. Another tipster revealed that iQOO would launch the upcoming smartphone in two variants. The device is tipped to launch with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 3.0 storage.

The smartphone is tipped to launch with 8, 12GB of RAM and 256, 512GB of storage. In terms of optics, the device is tipped to equip with 50MP primary sensor. The camera is tipped to equip with Vivo’s V2 imaging sensor.
A recent report also revealed that the device would go on sale from July 8 in China.

The vanilla iQOO 11 sports a 6.78-inch E6 AMOLED display with a 2K resolution and 144Hz refresh rate. The display gets protection from Coring Gorilla Glass Victus.
Underneath, it is equipped with a standard Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC. The chipset is paired with up to 16GB of RAM and up to 512GB of storage.

The device has a triple rear camera setup comprising a primary 50MP sensor with OIS. The sensor is paired with 13MP telephoto sensor with 2x optical zoom and an 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens with f/2.2 aperture.
iQOO uses a 16MP selfie camera with f/2.5 aperture. The device is backed with a 5000mAh battery which supports 120W fast charging tech.

Faqs on iQOO 11S

1) iQOO 11S receives MIIT certification, likely to launch soon.Details?

Ans) According to recent reports, iQOO is set to introduce the iQOO 11s, a new flagship smartphone specifically designed for the Chinese market. The device, identified by the model number “V2304A,” has obtained approval from China’s MIIT authority. It is expected that the device will soon undergo certification by other Chinese regulatory bodies, such as TENAA and 3C, before making its official debut in China.

Shown below is a screenshot of the iQOO 11S’ MIIT certification. The listing has no details about the specifications of the device. Rumours are rife that the device will go official in July.

In November 2022, Qualcomm introduced the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip, which has been on all the major Android flagship phones this year. Rumours are rife that its overclocked version, dubbed the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 2, may debut this month or in July. The said chipset is expected to power the iQOO 11S.

iQOO 11S specifications (rumoured)

As per previous reports, the iQOO 11S will have a 6.78-inch E6 AMOLED display that will produce a 2K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate. It will have a 16-megapixel front camera and an OIS-enabled 50-megapixel main camera on the back. For enhanced photography, the device will come equipped with the Vivo V2 ISP.

The iQOO 11S is expected to come with 8 GB / 12 GB of LPDDR5x RAM and 256 GB of UFS 4.0 storage. It may pack a 5,000mAh battery with 200W charging. It is expected to run on the OriginOS 3.0-based Android 13.

2) iQoo 11S Model Number, Specifications and Launch Timeline Leaked Online: All Details

Ans) After launching the iQoo 11 and the iQoo 11 Pro in China, the company now seems to be gearing up to launch a new addition to its 11 series. The handset, according to a new leak, has been tagged as the iQoo 11s. The smartphone could debut with a new processor or may go with an existing option. Keeping the new processor in mind, the placement of the new handset in the iQoo 11 series hierarchy also remains unknown. There is also a model number and details regarding the variants of this upcoming handset that have leaked online.

Tipster Paras Guglani (@passionategeekz) along with MEFMobile have collaboratively leaked out information about an upcoming iQoo smartphone tagged as the iQoo 11s. The handset will reportedly have the model number V2304A when released in China, but will have a different model number when it is released globally. This indicates the phone will first be launched in China followed by a global release. The source also claims that the iQoo 11s will be launched in China in the “third quarter” and is expected to release in global markets by August or June this year.

As for specifications, the iQoo 11s is expected to arrive in two variants. There could be a base variant with 8GB RAM and 256GB of storage and a second option with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.

The iQoo 11s is expected to feature a 6.78-inch QHD+ resolution (3,200 x 1,440 pixels) E6 AMOLED panel made by Samsung. The handset is expected to be powered by a yet to be announced MediaTek Dimensity 9300 SoC or an existing Dimensity 9000 series SoC when released in China. The handset could also be equipped with UFS 4.0 RAM.

Other details about this new handset remain unknown. This includes details regarding its camera specifications and its battery charging-related details, which would give us a better idea about whether it is placed alongside the iQoo 11 Pro or below the iQoo 11 in terms of value. While a global launch is expected, it’s unclear whether the iQoo 11s will make it to India as iQoo has also held back on launching the iQoo 11 Pro model this year.

The iQoo 11 was launched in India in January priced at Rs. 59,999 for the base 12GB RAM and 256GB storage variant. The smartphone was also launched in a 16GB RAM variant, which is available at Rs. 64,999 in India. The iQoo 11 has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC and a Quad HD+ E6 AMOLED display with a 144Hz maximum screen refresh rate.

3) What is iQOO 11S launch date (rumoured)?

Ans) The smartphone was earlier said to go official in the month of June or July, and according to a tipster on Weibo, the iQOO 11S will be officially launched in China on June 8th. The company is yet to make an official announcement on the same.

Here are the expected specifications.

Xiaomi has launched the Redmi 12, an inexpensive smartphone with a 90 Hz and 1080p display.
Also packed with a 5,000 mAh battery and a 50 MP primary camera, the Redmi 12 will be available in multiple configurations with three launch colour options.

Xiaomi has now lifted the lid on the Redmi 12 after several detailed leaks. According to Xiaomi’s Thai website, the Redmi 12 relies on the Helio G88, a mid-range chipset that MediaTek released in 2020.

For reference, the Helio G88 contains two ARM Cortex-A75 CPU cores clocked at 2 GHz, six Cortex-A55 cores restricted to 1.8 GHz and a Mali-G52 MP2 GPU that peaks at 1 GHz.

OnePlus has announced the second edition of its unique initiative – OnePlus Roadtrip – that sees an experience store on wheels ferry across several regions in the country to showcase a diverse range of OnePlus products to customers.

Hauled by a large Mercedes truck, the experience store is set in a transformable trailer which expands automatically to reveal the entrance when the truck is stationed. Two of these trucks have commenced their journey from Delhi and will tour multiple northern and southern regions of India, covering over 25 cities including several tier 2 ones.

One of these special trucks will cover the northern region, visiting cities like Chandigarh, Jaipur, Lucknow, while the other will take the Southern route, covering cities like Coimbatore, Chennai, Pune, Kochi, and more. After the flag-off event, the first experience outlet will be stationed next at ASF Insignia in Gurugram on 16 June, 2023, at Sharda University.

Inside these stores, customers will be able to experience most of the company’s smartphone portfolio, alongside other ‘ecosystem’ devices such as the all-new OnePlus Pad, OnePlus Buds Pro 2, OnePlus Keyboard 81 Pro, OnePlus Monitor X 27, and more.

But the true limelight stealer is the OnePlus 11 Concept, though it is not intended for production. It showcases the company’s new Active CryoFlux cooling solution, which uses a miniaturised pump to circulate a heat-absorbing fluid through the phone’s components.

The phone was first unveiled at MWC Barcelona earlier this year. However, the cooling effect of this innovative design is rather modest – according to OnePlus’s own data, Active Cryoflux only lowers temperatures by up to 2.1°C.

Besides the concept phone, the experience stores also showcase a “5G-powered” robotic arm that remotely recreates art made on smartphones by the community. While the current implementation is designed to simply mimic the art you draw on a OnePlus Pad, bringing it to life on paper.

Instead of stating the name of the chip, the leak specifically mentions its part number, SM8550, indicating that the tipster is referring to the upcoming Realme GT Neo 5 Pro.

The leak reveals that the Realme GT Neo 5 Pro will pack a 5,200mAh (typical value) dual-cell battery. He also added that the device will support 150W fast charging. In a previous leak, the tipster claimed that the device would support 100W charging.

Hence, there is a possibility that, like the Realme GT Neo 5, which came in 150W and 240W charging options in China, the upcoming Pro model may also arrive in 150W and 100W charging variants.

Earlier this month, two Realme phones with model numbers RMX3820 and RMX3820 were certified by the MIIT authority in China. In all likelihood, these could be the two charging variants of the GT Neo 5 Pro. Other reports have revealed that the device will arrive with a 6.74-inch OLED 144Hz display with support for a 1.5K resolution and 2160Hz PWM dimming, up to 16 GB of LPDDR5x RAM, up to 512 GB of UFS 4.0 storage, and an OIS-enabled 50-megapixel Sony IMX890 triple camera system.

2) What are Realme GT Neo 5 Pro specifications (rumoured)?

Ans) According to the renowned tipster, the upcoming Realme GT Neo 5 Pro is expected to feature a flat OLED panel with minimal bezels. The screen is rumored to offer an impressive 1.5K resolution along with a high refresh rate of 144Hz and 2160Hz PWM dimming. Interestingly, it seems that Realme will utilize the same 6.74-inch OLED panel sourced from the Tianma brand that was previously seen on the Realme GT Neo 5 and GT Neo 5 SE smartphones released earlier this year.

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset and 16 GB of LPDDR4x RAM will be present under the hood of the Realme GT Neo 5 Pro. There is no information about the battery size of the device. However, it is expected to support 100W charging.

Some other reports have claimed that the GT Neo 5 Pro’s back panel will have an OIS-enabled 50-megapixel Sony IMX890 primary camera. The details of the remaining cameras on the Pro model have not surfaced yet. According to DCS, the Realme GT Neo 5 Pro’s main camera will be bolstered by a new fusion algorithm, likely resulting in improved shot quality. The device is expected to run on the Realme UI 4.0-based Android 13.

3) Realme GT Neo 5 Pro Tipped to Launch in 100W, 150W Fast Charging Variants: All Details?

Ans) Realme GT Neo 5 Pro is expected to launch soon. The company launched other GT Neo 5 series models earlier this year including the Realme GT Neo 5 and the Realme GT Neo 5 SE.

The phones are equipped with an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC and the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 chipset, respectively.

The series is now expected to have a Pro model join the lineup. Previously some key specifications of the GT Neo 5 Pro were leaked. Now, a known tipster has leaked the charging specifications of the purported handset.

Tipster Digital Chat Station posted on Weibo that the upcoming Realme GT Neo 5 Pro is likely to launch with 100W and 150W fast charging options along with a 5,000mAh battery. An earlier leak suggested that the phone will likely sport a 6.74-inch OLED panel with a 1.5K resolution, a refresh rate of up to 144Hz, and 2160Hz PWM dimming.

As per the leak, the GT Neo 5 Pro is expected to be powered by an octa-core Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, Qualcomm’s fastest chipset to date. The phone is also said to come equipped with up to 16 GB of LPDDR4x RAM and up to 512GB of inbuilt storage.

The Realme GT Neo 5 launched in two charging variants – one with a 4,600mAh battery with 240W wired fast charging support and another with a 5,000mAh battery with 150W wired fast charging support. The 16GB + 256GB option of the former is priced at CNY 3,199 (roughly Rs. 39,000) while the latter option was listed at launch for CNY 2,499 (roughly Rs. 30,400) for the 8GB + 256GB base variant.

Meanwhile, the Realme GT Neo 5 SE packs a 5,500mAh battery with 100W wired fast charging support. The 8GB + 256GB storage variant of the model was priced at CNY 1,999 (roughly Rs. 24,000) during the launch.

Nothing Phone (2) Design hinted by the company

Nothing Phone (2)

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.

1) Nothing Phone (2): What to expect?

Ans) Pei has been teasing the Phone (2) for a while now, hinting that it will deliver a premium experience compared to the Phone (1). The Phone (2) upgrades to last year’s top-end Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip from Qualcomm from the Snapdragon 778G+, which powered the first one.

With the Phone (2) will arrive Nothing OS 2.0, which the company says will combine the best of Android to enhance accessibility and efficiency for users. During an interview, Pei disclosed that Nothing is making significant investments in software development, particularly emphasising the Phone 2 s software. According to reports, Nothing has expanded its software team and now includes several experienced individuals who previously worked at OnePlus, Pei’s former company.

Nothing has confirmed that the Phone (2) will feature a bigger display, about 0.15 inches bigger than the Phone (1). Then, the Phone (2) will also boast a bigger battery of 4700mAh, 200mAh more than what it was in the Phone (1). Also, it has a lower carbon footprint than the first-gen model.

The company has announced that the Phone (2) will be made in India. The Phone (2) will go on sale in India through Flipkart.

2) 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.

3) 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).
