Now, ahead of the official launch, the full specification, and pricing of the device are revealed courtesy of Yogesh Brar.
Just hours after giving us the first look at the Nothing Phone (2), the company has now shared the first official image of the device.
The Nothing Phone (2) will come in two colour options of white and a dark grey which also looks somewhat like a dark blue.
You get the same Glyph Interface with a little tweaks but overall the design is mostly the same as the Nothing Phone (1).
The leaked specifications reveal the camera specifications, battery capacity, and more details of the Nothing Phone (2).
Nothing Phone (2) Official image confirms Grey Colour
There isn’t much to talk about the Nothing Phone (2)’s design since we’ve already gotten a good look at it through MKBHD’s video. But it’s worth noting that the colour options are confirmed for the Phone (2).
Nothing is keeping the white colour, and instead of the black it has gone for a dark grey that has a bluish tinge to it as well.
One very tiny design change that will most likely go unnoticed is the curved edges on the Nothing Phone (2) as opposed to the flat edges on the Phone (1).
The Glyph Interface at the back has gone through a redesign though, and with new features. Nothing has basically split the LED lights into smaller parts which will give more customisation options to users. It now comes with 33 different LED lighting zones controllable by software.
The Glyph Interface has been designed to sync with certain features such as the volume indicator, and the timer.
So whenever you’re adjusting the volume the LED light will also move accordingly, and it will also roll down when a timer’s countdown is set.
Nothing is also partnering with third-party apps such as Uber and Zomato to integrate the Glyph Interface so users have more to do with the LED lights.
Then there’s the Glyph Composer which will let users make their own ringtones. Nothing also teamed up with Swedish House Mafia to make customisable ringtones for not just Phone (2) but Phone (1) users as well.
Nothing Phone (2) Tipped To Feature 50MP Dual-Camera, 32MP Selfie Camera
As per the details shared by tipster Yogesh Brar via Twitter, the upcoming Nothing Phone (2) will feature a 6.7-inch OLED display. The device will have an adaptive 120Hz refresh rate. As confirmed by Nothing earlier, the Phone (2) will be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC.
The device is expected to pack up to 12GB of RAM and 256/512GB of internal storage. As for the software, the handset will boot Android 13 out of the box with Nothing OS 2.0 on top.
The smartphone will receive three years of Android OS updates and four years of security patches.
Furthermore, the details shared by Brar also reveal the camera specifications of the Nothing Phone (2). The device will be featuring a dual-camera setup at the back accompanied by a LED flash.
The camera setup at the rear side will consist of a 50MP primary camera (Sony IMX890 sensor) which will have OIS support. The 50MP sensor will be paired with a 50MP ultra-wide lens. For the selfies and video-calling department, the handset will flaunt a 32MP camera.
The device will also feature an optical fingerprint sensor for the security purpose. The phone also will have an IP rating for water and dust resistance.
A 4,700mAh battery will be equipped with the device which will support 33W fast charging and 15W wireless charging. As for the pricing, the device might retail between Rs 42,000 to Rs 43,000.
In a piece of related news, Nothing also has announced pre-order offer details of the Phone (2). The device is available for pre-order in India via Flipkart starting from June 29.

Here’s the Nothing Phone 2 in its Full Glory
The design is similar to the renders of the Phone (2) courtesy of reputed tipster OnLeaks.
At the time, Carl Pei tweeted the word “Fake” to refute the authenticity of the leaked Nothing Phone (2) renders.
However, we can see that the renders were spot on with the design, including the curved back, new split centre, and the camera arc in the Glyph interface.
However, what the renders did get wrong is the colour of the smartphone, which is lighter grey than white, and the punch-hole cutout, which is in the centre instead of the top left corner, as shown in the renders.
Marques reveals in its video that the Nothing Phone 2 has 33 LEDs on the back panel compared to 12 on its predecessor. The back panel is identical except that the massive centre arc has been split into six, and the camera arc has been split in two.
The biggest LED strip in the centre arc, located in the top right, has 16 LEDs and is interactive, like the exclamation LED at the bottom.
While the exclamation LED is limited to the battery level indicator, the new 16-LED arc strip is intended to be a progress bar. It can be used with timers and third-party apps like Zomato and Uber to show the progress.
According to Marques, the LED indicator will use live notifications to show the progress of the activity, like Uber distance or Zomato food order location, and more.
Thanks to 16 LEDs, this progress indicator LED strip is much more precise and granular.
The YouTuber also reveals that the Glyph interface now offers a new feature called Essential Notifications, which lets users choose important apps.
Once set, the slanted LED strip on top will stay on when you receive notifications on your chosen app until the notification is addressed.
Additionally, the Nothing Phone 2 now allows users to create custom Glyph ringtones. MKBHD didn’t reveal anything else in his video.

3) What are the details of Nothing Phone (2) Pre-Orders?
Ans) Nothing has started pre-orders for the Phone (2) via Flipkart starting June 29.
The company is offering instant discounts on credit and debit cards from leading banks.
Additionally, the customers will get the Nothing Phone (2) case which is priced at Rs 1,299 at a discounted price of Rs 499. The screen protector, which will be priced at Rs 999 can be bought for Rs 399, and the 45W fast charger, which is normally priced at Rs 2,499, for Rs 1,499.
Nothing has already announced a few key specifications of the smartphone. The upcoming Phone (2) smartphone will sport a 6.7-inch display and it will be powered by a custom Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC, a big upgrade from last year’s Snapdragon 778G+.
The Nothing Phone (2) will offer an even better and more luxurious user experience than the Phone (1), company founder Carl Pei has said. Those interested can follow the launch event which starts at 8:30 PM IST on July 11. It will be livestreamed on the company website.
4) What is the design of Nothing Phone (2)?
Ans) Nothing has been pretty tight-lipped on the Phone (2)’s design. There’s speculation that the Phone (2) won’t come with any noticeable changes especially considering the fact that Nothing went all out with the Phone (1).
Carl Pei was also very quick to deny a leak that showed more or less the same design. He even played around suggesting that we might actually see a refreshed design.
Nothing has now shared a glimpse at the Phone (2)’s side frame which shows a slightly curved edge as opposed to the flat edges on the Phone (1). With the first-gen, Nothing adopted the iPhone 12’s flat-edged design. But the difference doesn’t seem very obvious and one might even not notice it properly. We would know better when the Phone (2) is made official.
Another design change that we’ll see on the Nothing Phone (2) is the centrally-aligned punch-hole camera. On the Phone (1) it sits on the top left corner of the screen. The Glyph Interface is very much there on the Phone (2) and it looks like the pattern is also still the same.
