Nothing launched its first-ever smartphone in Nothing Phone (1) in 2022 and recently the brand confirmed that it would come up with the 2nd generation device Nothing Phone (2) in late 2023. Nothing Phone (2) has the model number AIN065 and has not been spotted on the Bureau of Indian Standards Certification Website.

Earlier it was indicated that Nothing Phone (2) will have the model number A065 so this one might be the India-specific model of Nothing Phone (2) as it has the initials ‘IN’ in the model number.

Nothing Phone (2): What is known so far

Nothing Phone (2) being spotted on the BIS website hints towards an imminent India launch. However, tipster Abhishek Yadav claims that Nothing Phone (2) has only cleared stage 1 of the BIS certification and stage 2 approval is yet to be given. Any product has to clear 2 stages of approval before launching in India, so Nothing Phone (2) might just arrive in H2 2023.

Carl Pei’s Nothing has already confirmed that Nothing Phone (2) will be a much more premium device than its predecessor and will be powered by a flagship Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 series chipset. Although it is not confirmed if the chipset will be Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 or Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, the possibility of it being the latter is higher.

Other expected specs include up to 12GB RAM, up to 256GB storage, an FHD+ AMOLED display, a 120Hz refresh rate, a 5000mAh battery, and a glyph LED interface.  

Details about the other specs are still kept well under wraps, so we’ll have to wait some more to know them. Meanwhile, let’s have a look at the specs of Nothing Phone 1 to get an idea about what Nothing Phone (2) might entail.
