Nothing Phone (2): what we know so far

24 June 2023
The company has already confirmed some key upgrades for its second smartphone and we have some unofficial info too (though the accuracy of that is up in the air).

Sort by:

justasmile, 26 Jun 2023the price can't be real. it should be way lower than that.Wasn't very far off. In Europe at least. For some reason it's 680 euros which translates to $757.60 in the US. But in the US it's $599. Still atrocious. It just went from being 2x what it should be to 50% more than it should be.

    " the chip was the best value for money, i.e. that the price premium is proportionally larger than the performance uptick"

    @ GSMA Staff: I think its a typo, you mean the performance uptick is proportionally larger than price premium.

                  So far so great.
                  It will be a lot better phone than the others for the same price but lets see.
                  Anyway pure android experience always is a win win over garbage ram hungry UI.

                      dexterouz, 25 Jun 2023Oh! This tweet. I think it is a deliberate leak. 😅 Sometime... moreRegardless. Even if it's $100 lower than what the leak says, it's still a horrendous deal if they're gonna cripple it with an outdated SoC. It simply cannot compete with any other half decent phone in its price range.

                        Thry will price it 699€ to make it cheaper than previously leaked price

                          i wonder if there are leds within the charging cable to suggest the charging status and whether it's full. explains the micro dots and translucent design

                          I personally think this will be a good phone, if there can resolve possible heat issues of s8 gen1 , shame it came too late, if it was last year, i would purchased it as my main phone, however, i did buy as my office phone, the build quality is top notch and it was great value, just not top tier cpu

Anyway, the 3 phones over 6.5" add up to only 5.9% while the 2 small phones in the top 5 alone add up to 6.6%

                              Anders, 26 Jun 2023Child, you are out of your depth. I never said people are n... moreThe other iPhones are doing well and half of them are still small. And the glaring implication of your repeated "No one buys small phones" and "There is no market for small phones" is you practically campaigning for companies to stop releasing one in the market, which would leave no choice for those who want small phones. So you may not be saying people should not want small phones but you basically don't want them to be given what they want. But anyway, you can always keep repeating yourself and it won't matter if phone manufacturers disagree with you and keep making small phones.

                                Anonymous, 26 Jun 2023If you're all using midrange phones, then yeah, no one... moreThe top 5 were
                                iPhone 13
                                iPhone 13 Pro Max
                                iPhone 14 Pro Max
                                Galaxy A13
                                iPhone 13 Pro

                                So 3 of the top 5 best sellers were over 6.5"

The "person" I was replying to always whines when people say "no headphone jack, no buy" yet they were in the comments doing the exact same thing but with telephoto instead of headphone jack

I never said people are not allowed to want a small phone. I said there is objectively no market for small phones. That is why Apple abandoned their Mini series, that is why Asus is not in 10 top sales. Phones under 6" are not in high demand, but of course the handful of people who want one are allowed to want one

                                      Anonymous, 25 Jun 2023Carl Pei says "very few people buy small phones" ... moreI prefer compact phone, while it may be easy to hold and use, most app designs are not supporting compact display.. there would be glitches. So I have to get common display size.

Top 10 selling phones are apparently mostly iPhones and more than half of them are 6.1" or smaller.
