Nothing Phone 2 will be powered by Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC and not the latest Snapdragon. Carl has his reasons.
Nothing Phone 2 design is unlikely to deviate a lot from the original.
Here’s everything we know about the Nothing Phone 2 specs.
Nothing Phone 2 could be semi-transparent or at least have a translucent charging cable. It won’t be a small phone either. Here’s everything we have learned about the phone from Carl Pei as well as leaks and rumours.
Starting with what Carl Pei has hinted at in bits and pieces so far.
Official Nothing Phone 2 hints and teasers
1. Semi-transparent USB-C cable
— Carl Pei (@getpeid) June 19, 2023
So, the top portion of USB-C connector of Nothing Phone 2 sports the signature "transparent design language" of the brand. You can see the Nothing brandng through the transparent part.
Carl calls it "nice" and we agree. It does look nice but we are concerned whether it will be discoloured in time.
2. Not a small phone
Contrary to what we may believe living in the echo chamber, very few people buy small phones https://t.co/aVolitAzN3

Carl says not many people buy small phones. Generally, people prefer big displays for media consumption. More display for the money one pays.
A smaller variant requires virtually the same resource investment as developing a "brand new" product, each of which will have a fixed cost in the mid-$xx millions USD range https://t.co/khvYAd9XoX

He also reveals it takes about the same amount of investment for developing a small device and a new device.
3. An eco-friendly design

The Phone 2 will be SGA_SA certified. It will have a carbon footprint of 53.45 kg thanks to a plastic-free build and a use of 3x more recycled materials compared to its precursor. Even the assembly process is said to be using 100% renewable energy.
