Nothing Phone (2) - FIRST LOOK!

The Nothing Phone 2 will be released later this year, building on the foundation set by the Nothing Phone in 2022. Information about the new phone are still scarce, but what we've heard so far suggests that big improvements are on the way. When the Nothing Phone 1 was discontinued in the United States, we may see this model go on sale there – Nothing CEO Carl Pei has acknowledged that this type of expansion is a top priority for his company. While few facts have been officially confirmed, other than the phone's existence, there have been speculations and stories that give us an idea of what to expect. The Nothing Phone 2 has been confirmed to arrive later this year, with insiders speaking to MySmartPrice claiming it will ship during Q3 — otherwise known as July to September. That corresponds to the launch of the Nothing Phone 1 in mid-July 2022. We’ve heard nothing on how much the phone is likely to cost, though Nothing CEO Carl Pei has said that the handset would launch as a “more premium” offering than the Phone 1. That phone started at £399 (roughly $490) in the U.K., and Pei’s comments suggest the Phone 2 will likely cost a fair bit more. Let’s just hope it’s closer to the $699 OnePlus 11 than the $999 iPhone 14 Pro. The good news is that this device should be heading to the U.S. with Pei telling CNBC that the company was in “early conversations” with U.S. carriers about stocking Nothing devices. Pei later told Inverse that expanding to the U.S. with the Phone 2 is Nothing’s “top priority” for 2023. According to a report from MySmartPrice, we can expect the Nothing Phone 2 to come with a 120Hz adaptive AMOLED display, a 5,000 mAh battery, 12GB of RAM, 256GB of storage, and an “unannounced” Snapdragon 8 series SoC from Qualcomm. Some of those specs aren’t hugely different from those of the Nothing Phone 1, which offered a choice of 8GB or 12GB of RAM, 128GB and 256GB storage options, a 4,500 mAh battery, and a 120Hz OLED display. nothing phone 2 price
