[Exclusive] Details of Nothing Phone (2) That You Must Know
A UK-based smartphone manufacturing company, Nothing is trying to launch Nothing Phone (2) in the Summer of 2023. As we know, the Phone (1) was the most hyped phone from Nothing that won different awards due to its transparent design in the back. Forbes, a tech website has taken an extensive interview with Carl Pei about the Phone (2) in which he talks about some more specifications like Battery capacity, display, and launch.
What Carl Pei said about different Smartphone Companies
In talking with Carl Pei, he said that the smartphone industry is the most challenging in the world. He also said he has noticed different smartphone companies failing, although the start-ups never launched a 2nd generation product. Pei said he saw many brands giving up in this industry such as LG, Amazon, HTC, and Sony (as in India). These are successful companies but they failed in making smartphones.
As we know, Pei Co-founded OnePlus with Pete Lau which is a Chinese smartphone manufacturing Company. In an extensive interview, Pei said “Apple is continuously gaining ground over Android. Also, there is not any exciting alternative to iPhones especially for the younger generation.” He also said that things were challenging at the start and that this year, the company has been able to significantly improve the components or suppliers it’s used.
What Carl Pei talk about Nothing and the US market
Carl Pei explains why he thinks he has a chance with Nothing. Pei said that “With Nothing, they want to bring a sense of excitement back to the smartphone industry. They want to make great products, that make feels special, different, and fun. As with the Phone (1), we successfully entered the smartphone market and proved that there was an appetite for such a new alternative, especially among younger users. The company has sold. The number of Nothing Phones sold is around 750,000 which is half the number of the first-gen iPhones sold. Carl regularly uses an iPhone.
Carl Pei clears that the US market is very important for a new phone. that’s why they mainly focused on the US and some specific regions like India. The US is the most dominant market for iPhones. With Phone (1) we have seen the inspirit results with the highest percentage of users who switched from iPhones to Nothing. In the US market, the users don’t have any alternative options. But Phone (2) can be a better alternative to the iPhone.
What Carl said about comparing Nothing with Apple
Pei talks about the reason to compare Nothing with Apple. He said that users switched from their iPhones to Nothing Phone (1). According to Nothing, it’s between three and four times the average across some markets. Pei also said about the online concept designs of Nothing Phone (2). Carl Pei also said that they had noticed the different concept designs that are inspired by the transparent products of Nothing. They observed that few established brands are also following the transparent design. This kind of enthusiasm was earlier done by Apple with their iPhone, cementing the image of Nothing as an iPhone competitor. As we see the transparent design of the most recent Studio Buds Pro + from Apple’s Beats brand.
Carl Pei about the processor in Nothing Phone (2)
As Carl confirmed the processor of Phone (2) in his recent Tweet. The Phone (2) comes with Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 which we also got in the flagship devices. According to Carl, the 8+ Gen 1 is a proven processor. It has been tested thoroughly. 8+ Gen 1 is continuously optimized through numerous updates since its introduction a year ago. The main goal of Nothing is to provide a better user experience rather than the specifications. Also, the 8 Gen 2 is costly which isn’t always justified from the user benefit side. Nothing Phone (2) with 8+ Gen 1 delivers users a better experience if we compare it with Phone (1).
Some Exclusive Details about Nothing Phone (2)
Also, Carl talks about some exclusive new details of the Phone (2). The first is about the battery, The Nothing Phone (2) comes with a 4700 mAh battery which was increased by 200 mAh from Phone (1). As we got a 4500 mAh battery in the Phone (1). 4700 mAh battery with an 8+ Gen 1 chip will give you an overall performance boost of 80% from the Nothing Phone (1).
The second exclusive thing is the launch date of Phone (2). As like Phone (1). The Phone (2) is going to launch in July 2023 in India and Globally. Mark your calendars for July—so not long—and I’m told it will be a global release, that is, the U.S. will have it as soon as other countries – as said by Carl Pei, CEO of Nothing.
If we talk about the display of the Nothing Phone (2). So, a tipster has tweeted whose username is @Gadgetsdata tipped about the display. According to the tipster, Nothing Phone (2) comes with a 6.67 inches Full HD+ OLED Display with a refresh rate of 120 Hz. The display resolution is 1080 x 2412.

Nothing has officially started teasing its next smartphone, the Nothing Phone (3), on social media. The company has now confirmed that the phone will launch in July 2025.
On their social handles, Nothing posted a short 6-second video showing the number 3, followed by the message:
“3. It’s a magic number.”
This teaser confirms both the name and the launch month of the upcoming phone.
Now remains the actual date of the launch event. So it could be in the first week or the second week of July.
What to Expect from Nothing Phone (3)
Recently, Carl Pei, the founder of Nothing, shared some exciting details. He said that the Phone (3) will feature premium materials, major performance upgrades, and better software. He called it “our true flagship smartphone.”
Carl also mentioned that technology should feel exciting again—not just in terms of design, but also with a user-first operating system.
So now, let’s see what the specs of the upcoming phone will be. It will surely have top-notch features, but the major question is about the chipset—will they go with the latest one, or take a step back?
Akis Evangelidis , co-founder of Nothing, also said: ‘Two years in the making. Our first true flagship. Over the past four years, we’ve been steadily building our product capabilities, and Phone (3) is the culmination of it all. I’m buzzing about it, just like when we launched Phone (1). Can’t wait!’
Expected Price of Nothing Phone (3)
Carl Pei hinted that the Phone (3) could be priced around £800 (about USD 1,064 or Rs. 90,850). For comparison, the Nothing Phone (2) with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage was launched at £629 (around USD 836 or Rs. 71,429) and was priced at Rs. 54,999 in India.
Based on this, the Nothing Phone (3) could launch in India at over Rs. 64,999, especially if the 12GB + 256GB model is the base variant. The phone is also expected to include advanced AI features, which could impact the pricing.
Recently, the Nothing Phone (2a) and Nothing Phone (2) received the May 2025 Nothing OS 3.0 update. This update introduced some useful features like Private Space, different passwords for App Lock, and a Hotspot Manager.
These features were already available on the CMF Phone 2 Pro and Nothing Phone 3a series, which run on Nothing OS 3.2 and 3.1.
However, many users noticed that the Hotspot Manager feature is missing on the Nothing Phone (2), even though it was expected. This has led to confusion and disappointment, especially since users have been requesting this feature for a long time.
Now, all eyes are on Nothing to see if they will release another update soon to bring the Hotspot Manager to the Nothing Phone (2). If not, users may have to wait until the next scheduled security update in July 2025.
Tech brand Nothing has officially confirmed that it is working on its first pair of over-ear headphones. The announcement was made in a recent video, following the company’s earlier news about a partnership with audio company KEF for upcoming sound products.
The over-ear headphones have been rumored since February 2024, when they were seen in a certification listing with the model number B170, simply labeled as “wireless headphone”.
Unique Design and Features
Nothing’s CEO Carl Pei had previously shared concept images of over-ear headphones back in October 2022, and now it looks like the idea is finally becoming reality.
According to Nothing, these headphones will have a very unique and stylish design that stands out. The company’s designers reportedly don’t like the look of current headphones on the market, so they are aiming to create something different—something that “says something about you” when you wear them.
The headphones will also feature distinct physical buttons, designed to be easy to recognize by touch so you can control them comfortably while wearing them.
High-Quality Sound at a Better Price
Nothing is promising top-tier sound quality, especially considering the price. The company even claims that if you switch from high-end options like Apple’s AirPods Max, you won’t be disappointed, even though Nothing’s headphones will be more affordable.
There is a concept of Nothing Over-Ear Headphones made by Ben Geskin. They look quite good, featuring a transparent design with Glyph lights inside and a red button at top.
Launch Timeline
The new Nothing headphones are expected to launch in summer 2025, around the same time as the company’s upcoming smartphone, the Nothing Phone (3). There’s a good chance both products will be announced together at the same launch event.
