The Hindu
Nothing Phone 2 has a 6.7 inch AMOLED display, 4,700mAh battery, 32MP selfie camera and Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor.
Nothing launches its second smartphone, Phone 2, building on its predecessor’s transparency. Phone 2 jumps in with a better processor, an improved main and selfie camera, enhanced battery, and more Glyph functionalities. The handset is targeted at premium phone buyers with the price starting at ₹44,999 for the 8GB/128GB model.
The smartphone uses a metal and glass finish, and has a transparent back design with round edges. The rounded edges provides the holder a good grip. Despite transparent glass design, the phone neither attract smudges not slips from the hand. The back has seven visible screws along with a symmetrical whirlwind coil design, LED flash, Nothing’s branding, and dual camera lenses. But Phone 2 is 7.7 grams heavier than Phone 1.
The Phone 2 features 11 Glyph interfaces customisable with 33 zones. With more LEDs, they’re much brighter this year. You can assign personalised light and sound sequences to contacts and apps. It also works as progress tracker for ride or delivery, besides offering additional functionalities like showing charging progress.
The power button is on the right whereas the volume rockers are on the left. There are nine antenna lines on the frame. The SIM tray, USB port and mic are at the bottom. The Phone 2 display has thin bezels uniformly spread, offering extra space for your content. A note of caution: the display can get scratched if used without a layer, even though it is made of Corning Gorilla Glass.
