Nothing Phone 2 officially launched in India: Specs and Pricing

The Nothing Phone 2 has officially launched in India kickstarting the second-term of Nothing’s phone business. The Phone (1) debuted around the same time, last year and stood out of the common smartphone crowd with its transparent back, Glyph design and price-to-value ratio. Within the first 20 days, the Phone 1 clocked in over 100,000 shipments in India which was quite a feat for a new brand. “We’re building the most compelling alternative to Apple”, Founder Carl Pei once said of Nothing. But when the Phone 1 was unveiled it had mid-range specs, where many expected a flagship. Today, Nothing delivered its first flagship phone, the Nothing Phone 2 and here’s everything you need to know about it.

Nothing Phone 2 Pricing

The Nothing Phone (2) is priced starting at INR 44,999 for the base 8GB+128GB variant, INR 49,999 for the 12GB+256GB variant and INR 54,999 for the 12GB+512GB storage option.

The Nothing Phone (2) goes on sale from July 21 on Flipkart. Nothing is also organising a Nothing Pop-Up event where you can get your hands on the Phone 2 on July 14 in Bengaluru.

The Nothing Phone 2 takes after the Phone 1 with a refined design and packs in a top-of-the-line flagship chipset. The frame is made out of aluminium and the transparent back is covered with 3D glass. It is also a bit slimmer and lighter than the Phone 1 measuring 8.3mm and weighing 193 grams.

The Phone 2 features a larger 6.7-inch OLED display over the 6.5-inch screen on the Phone 1.
