Nothing will be launching the Nothing Phone 2 this year, and it will be available in the U.S. this time around. Here’s everything we know so far!
The Nothing Phone 1 made its debut in July 2022, and it had a reasonable amount of hype behind it due to the involvement of Carl Pei, a co-founder of OnePlus. It was a quirky phone due to the unique light show on the back that makes it stand out from the competition, but on the software front, it’s very similar to other Android phones out there. It received mixed reviews, though the consensus leaned more toward the positive side.
This year, we’re expecting the Nothing Phone 2, as confirmed by Pei in January during Mobile World Congress 2023. Here’s everything we know so far about the Nothing Phone 2!Nothing Phone 2: design
As far as official images of the Nothing Phone 2 go, so far we’ve only seen a small glimpse of the phone in a recent teaser image shared by Nothing. In typical Nothing fashion, the teaser doesn’t give us much to go on. While the teaser itself doesn’t show much, some leaked renders of the Nothing Phone 2 have told us just about everything we need to know about the phone’s design.
At first glance, the leaked renders for the Phone 2 might be confused with the Nothing Phone 1. The two look strikingly similar, which is a little disappointing when considering Nothing’s reputation for wanting to shake things up with each of its hardware releases. But there are some slight changes to the design that will likely be felt a lot more clearly once we finally get the phone in our hands.
The biggest change is that the edges are now rounded, similar to the Samsung Galaxy S23, to provide a much more comfortable grip. The Nothing Phone 1 had a sharp edge that was akin to that found on all iPhone models and could dig into a user’s hands when holding on to it for prolonged periods of time.
