This is how Nothing Phone (2) will look like
What's the story
Nothing is gearing up for the launch of its second smartphone, the Phone (2). The company has confirmed that the upcoming handset will be manufactured in India. While certain specifications related to the battery, processor, and display were revealed previously, the renders of the smartphone have now been released by Smartprix and @OnLeaks. Let's see how Phone (2) will look like.
Context
Why does this story matter?
The interest in Nothing Phone (2) has grown significantly in the last couple of weeks. The new handset is said to offer a "more premium experience" compared to Phone (1), which suggests it may bear a higher price tag. It remains to be seen if the Phone (2) will manage to garner the same response as its predecessor.
Design
Front and rear panels will be slightly curved
The Phone (2) will feature a more rounded frame while Nothing Phone (1) has a squarish design. The front and back of the device will also have a slight curvature, allowing a better grip. The Glyph lighting elements will also be tweaked. The Phone (2) will have an angled and segmented lighting design while the Phone (1) has more continuous LED strips.
Information
The upcoming handset will get a 120Hz AMOLED display
The Nothing Phone (2) will feature a left-aligned punch-hole cutout, slim bezels, and an under-display fingerprint scanner. It will get a bigger display than its predecessor, possibly a 6.7-inch Full-HD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate.
Camera
Nothing Phone (2) will get a 50MP main camera
Nothing Phone (2) will retain a dual rear camera module, with a 50MP primary camera with OIS—similar to the Phone (1). However, the specifications of the secondary snapper remain unclear. Up front, it may get a 32MP shooter. The handset is said to get a dual-tone LED flash unit, which should improve the image quality in low-light conditions.
Internals
The smartphone will pack a 4,700mAh battery
Nothing Phone (2) will be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset. It could come coupled with up to 12GB of RAM and up to 256GB of onboard storage. It is likely to boot Android 13 and will get three years of OS updates. Under the hood, the device will pack a 4,700mAh battery and will provide wireless charging support as well.
