Nothing Phone (2): the first info on the technical sheet and the release date revealed

The Nothing Phone (2) will see the light of day, as Carl Pei, the brand’s CEO, recently confirmed. And even if only a launch on the North American market has been mentioned, the successor to the very good Nothing Phone (1) arouses curiosity.

Based on a source “reputed”, the Indian site MySmart Price explains that it has recovered some information. The smartphone should notably carry the model number A065, which seems consistent with that of the first version (A063). The British firm would also have hinted that this new model will be more premium than the previous one. We note that nothing has yet leaked in terms of design, but this mobile is expected at the turn on this specific point.

Planned upgrade

According to the site, the Nothing Phone (2) could be equipped with a 120 Hz Oled screen. Nothing really surprising here, because it was already the case with (1), but it is not specified whether its successor will benefit for example LTPO technology.

Under the slab, the brand would have beefed up its game by directly integrating 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage. The first version left the choice between 8/128 GB and 12/256 GB configurations. This therefore seems to confirm the manufacturer’s desire to make it a more upscale product. In addition, the Nothing Phone (2) would support the use of “virtual” RAM by drawing from its internal storage when needed. The user should therefore enjoy a particularly smooth experience on a daily basis… if the SoC is up to it.

Alas, the latter has not been revealed. And there will be a lot to do to replace the very good Snapdragon 778G which fitted the brand’s first smartphone. We can imagine that Nothing will choose a Snapdragon 8-series chipset to support its new status a little more, which will necessarily have an impact on its price.

The smartphone could this time opt for a 5000 mAh battery, against 4500 mAh for the Phone (1). Excellent news, especially since this first smartphone had a rather solid autonomy. Once again, the change of chip can have a very significant impact on the endurance of the product. The firm is also expected on the software part, in particular for its NothingOS overlay.

The release date of the Nothing Phone (2) is obviously not specified, but it should be launched as early as 2023. The third quarter would be considered; so we’ll have plenty of time to learn more by then.
