Nothing Phone (2) has been launched in India and other markets. The second Nothing smartphone launches as a successor to the Phone (1) with upgraded specifications and an improved design. The Phone (2) continues to sport a semi-transparent design on the back. Also, there is the new Glyph interface, which lets users create their own sequences via the Glyph Composer. Nothing has gone the flagship-space route with its latest smartphone and launched the device with a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC under the hood.

Nothing Phone (2): Specifications and Features
In terms of design, the Phone (2) claims to offer a premium feel with its curved pillowed glass back and a thinner midframe made of 100% recycled aluminium. The Glyph lights on the back have been redesigned to offer better functionality while looking slightly different compared to the predecessor. As mentioned above, users, with the help of Glyph Composer, can tap each pad to trigger a different light and sound combination and record them to create their own sequence.
Also, Glyph Interface can be integrated with third-party apps for various use cases, such as tracking your ride’s location or delivery services.
Nothing’s new smartphone boots the latest Nothing OS 2.0, which claims to offer multiple personalisation and customisation options, including adjusting app labels, grid design, widget size and themes.
