Nothing Phone (2) customers can now deposit Rs 2,000 and pre-book smartphone, enjoy extra benefits later

By Abhik SenguptaThe Nothing Phone (2) is now available to pre-book in India ahead of its official launch on July 11. Interested customers can head to head to Flipkart and deposit Rs 2,000 to pre-book the smartphone to enjoy some extra benefits. Pre-booking generally ensures you’ll receive the device first before regular customers buy it. Customers who pre-book can also buy accessories at a discounted price. Of course, if you’re unhappy with the phone following the launch, you can ask for a full refund. Otherwise, Rs 2,000 will be counted in the final bill.

Nothing’s Flipkart listing explains that pre-order customers will receive a “pre-order pass” worth Rs 2,000. The pass guarantees you’ll be able to pre-order Nothing Phone (2) following the launch. In case you have not purchased the smartphone between July 11, (9 PM) and July 20 (11:59 PM), the money will be refunded back to the source from July 21 onwards.

Additionally, you can also buy accessories for cheap. The Nothing Ear (Stick) will be available for Rs 4,250 instead of Rs 8,499. The Phone (2) case will be available for Rs 499 instead of Rs 1,299. Additionally, users can buy the Nothing screen protector for Rs 399 (MRP Rs 999) and the 45W Nothing charger for Rs 1,499 (Rs 2,499).

So far, Nothing has revealed that the Nothing Phone (2) features a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC and a 4,700mAh battery, which is bigger than the 4,500mAh battery on the Phone (1). The charger information indicates the smartphone will support 45W charging in addition to wireless charging. Nothing has also revealed a promotional image that suggests a flat-edge design, similar to the last gen-model, which itself is inspired by iPhone 12’s flat-edge design.

The rear panel will continue to include in-built LED lights that Nothing calls the Glyph module. This year, the phone is expected to cover more areas on the back with LED lights. Nothing will also offer more customisation options with the latest Nothing OS 2.0. The company recently revealed the device has a “Glyph Composer” to let you personalise and remix Swedish House Mafia’s custom sounds.

Other features include a 6.7-inch AMOLED display, likely with a 120Hz refresh rate, similar to the first-gen model. It is expected to be priced between Rs 40,000 to Rs 45,000 if we go by the specifications and design. The Phone (2) will likely be competing against Pixel 7a and OnePlus 11R. The original Phone (1) was launched in India for Rs 32,999.
