Nothing’s second smartphone, aptly named Phone (2), will arrive in July, according to CEO Carl Pei. He disclosed the information in an interview with Forbes today. Earlier, Pei also revealed that the phone will be powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC, making it a clear step up from the mid-range Nothing Phone (1), while not quite on par with 2023 flagships using the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.
That decision was related to the comparative costs of the two SoCs, and the company deemed the latest chip not worthy of the award. We’ll see how that plays out – we’d bet a lot of people would be willing to gobble it up if the price “is right”. If the price delta is too small compared to other flagships, then it will be a different situation.
The teaser image you can see above was shared by Nothing itself earlier in the month, and now it seems the launch campaign is in full session, with the traditional OnePlus/Nothing style of feeding us spec info every other week or SO .
By the way, today we also have the size of the battery: it will be a 4,700mAh cell. That’s 200mAh more than that of the Nothing Phone (1), but not quite up to today’s standard, which is 5,000mAh. Of course it remains to be seen how this will affect endurance.
