Nothing Phone (2) India launch date confirmedA look at expected price, design and specs

By Ankita GargThe launch date for the Nothing Phone (2) is finally out. The 5G phone will officially arrive in India and global markets on July 11. The company has confirmed the date to the media. The event will take place at 8:30PM in the second week of July. Let’s take a look at the design, price, and specifications of the upcoming Nothing phone.

Nothing Phone (2)Expected price in India

The Nothing Phone (2) is expected to be priced at around Rs 40,000 in India and it will be on sale via Flipkart as the teasers for this 5G phone are already up on this e-commerce platform. In the same price range, the Phone (2) will likely be seen competing with phones like OnePlus 11R and Pixel 7a, which is a prediction based on the specifications that the company has officially confirmed. To recall, the Nothing Phone (1) was made available in India with a price tag of Rs 32,999.

Nothing Phone (2) design hinted by the company

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.

Nothing Phone (2)Expected specifications

The Nothing Phone (2) will be powered by a flagship Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset, which the OnePlus 11R smartphone is also using. The device sports a 6.7-inch display and a 4,700mAh battery under the hood. While the company hasn’t confirmed the charging details, we expect it to offer support for fast charging tech because the same was also available with the Nothing Phone (1). The details of the camera sensors are yet to be revealed by the company.

Nothing also revealed that its new Phone (2) smartphone will be eligible to receive three years of Android OS upgrades and four years of security patches. The company has promised that the latest Nothing OS build will offer a faster experience and more features to users. We expect the device to ship with Android 13 OS out of the box because the company offers the latest operating system with its new device.
