The much-anticipated Nothing Phone 2 has been showcased in all its glory by renowned tech reviewer Marques Brownlee, popularly known as MKBHD. In his latest Dope Tech video titled “Dope Tech: Nothing Phone 2 Redesign,” MKBHD exclusively revealed the stunning design of the new Nothing Phone 2 and delved into its advanced Glyph interface. With notable enhancements compared to its predecessor, let’s explore the captivating design details of the Nothing Phone 2 revealed by MKBHD.

Captivating Design Unveiled

Upon watching the video, one immediately notices that the design aligns with the previously leaked renders of the Phone (2) by reputable tipster OnLeaks. Despite initial skepticism from Carl Pei, founder of Nothing, regarding the authenticity of the leaked renders, it is evident that they accurately depicted the phone’s aesthetics, including the curved back, split center, and camera arc within the Glyph interface. However, the renders did not precisely represent the phone’s color, which is a lighter gray rather than white, and the placement of the punch-hole cutout, which is centered rather than in the top left corner as depicted.

Enhanced LED Features

Marques unveils that the Nothing Phone 2 boasts an impressive 33 LEDs on the back panel, a notable upgrade from the 12 LEDs found on its predecessor. While the overall back panel design remains largely unchanged, the central arc has been divided into six segments, and the camera arc has been split into two. The most prominent LED strip within the center arc, positioned in the top-right section, consists of 16 LEDs and offers interactivity, similar to the exclamation LED at the bottom.

The new 16-LED arc strip serves as a progress bar, allowing users to utilize it with timers and third-party applications such as Zomato and Uber to display ongoing progress. Through live notifications, this LED indicator provides real-time updates on activities such as Uber distance or the location of a Zomato food order, offering enhanced precision and granularity with its 16 LEDs.

Advanced Glyph Interface Features

The Glyph interface of the Nothing Phone 2 introduces a new feature called Essential Notifications, enabling users to select priority apps. Once configured, the slanted LED strip at the top will remain illuminated when notifications from the chosen app are received until the notification is addressed. Furthermore, the Nothing Phone 2 allows users to create custom Glyph ringtones, adding a personalized touch to their device. Although MKBHD did not disclose additional details in his video, these features indicate a more immersive and personalized user experience.

Expected Price and Availability in India

The anticipated price range for the Nothing Phone 2 in India is between Rs 40,000 and Rs 45,000. Following the launch, the smartphone will be available for purchase on Flipkart, and pre-orders are currently open on the e-commerce platform. Customers can secure their Nothing Phone 2 by making an initial payment of Rs 2,000, with the remainder due upon final purchase. Those who pre-order the device will enjoy instant discounts with leading banks, along with exclusive offers on accessories such as a Phone 2 case, screen protector, Nothing Stick, and Nothing Power 45W charger.

Nothing has already confirmed several key specifications for the Phone 2. It will feature a flagship Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset, Spectra 570 image signal processor (ISP), and a transparent Type-C cable. Rumored specifications for the upcoming launch include a 6.7-inch 120Hz AMOLED display with FHD+ resolution, options for 8GB or 12GB of RAM, and 128GB or 256GB of storage.
