The Nothing Phone (1) made its debut last year as the first smartphone from the startup led by Carl Pei, and it could (arguably) be considered one of the most hyped phones to date. Surprisingly, the handset managed to prove, to a large extent, that the hype wasn’t for “nothing”. Now, the brand has started teasing the launch of the next-gen model— the Nothing Phone (2) and has even announced a launch window. Here are the details.

The new Nothing Phone coming soon

Nothing today announced that the Phone (2) will launch this summer. While the company did not reveal the exact date, it confirmed that the phone will also be available to purchase in the US. Additionally, an animated video shared by the brand potentially hints at some design elements. It suggests the smartphone will arrive with lights on the back, similar to its predecessor.

Details about the Phone 2 are limited as of now but recently a Qualcomm executive accidentally revealed that the handset will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chipset. This is a significant upgrade over the Phone 1 which gets the Snapdragon 778G+ SoC under the hood. The device is also rumored to pack an AMOLED screen with a refresh rate of 120Hz and an FHD+ resolution. It will likely run on Nothing OS-based Android 13.

The upcoming Phone (2) is speculated to feature 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of internal storage. Reports suggest that it will be equipped with a 5,000mAh battery; however, details regarding its fast charging capabilities remain undisclosed. Similar to its predecessor, the Phone (2) is anticipated to support wireless charging.
