The Nothing Phone (2) will be officially unveiled next month, but you can have a sneak peek right now thanks to @OnLeaks and Smartprix. The new design is recognizably “Nothing” with its transparent back and prominent Glyph light strips. However, there are a few key changes. The company has confirmed that its second smartphone will have a larger display at 6.7” (up from 6.55”) and it seems that it felt the need to change up the ergonomics.
The new design has rounded aluminum sides,
even the glass panels on the front and the back have a slight arc to them. This
is contrast with the Phone (1), which had squared off sides along with a flat
front and back. The light strips for the Glyph interface are now segmented.
This could give users more fine grain control over the system, which serves as
status indicator, notification light and just as something to add some cool
factor. @OnLeaks notes that the renders are based on a unit from the testing
stage, so there may be some small tweaks to the final design.
Major tweaks are unlikely, however, which
means that the Nothing Phone (2) is sticking with a dual-camera setup. The
flash now has two LEDs instead of just one, but that’s the only addition. The
Phone (2) will be moving upmarket with a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, but it will stick
to the mid-range field instead of taking on flagships. The original launched
with a base price of € 470/£ 400/₹ 33,000, we’ll see whether the new one maintains
this price or starts higher. Oh, and this one is coming to the US too.
