Uswitch comments on Nothing phone (2) launch

Ru Bhikha, mobiles expert at Uswitch.com comments:

“Nothing has returned with the second iteration of its hotly anticipated flagship smartphone, the Nothing phone (2). Like its predecessor, the device hopes to shake up the smartphone market - currently dominated by just two manufacturers - with several features that are quite unlike anything else out there. “Founder Carl Pei developed the first Nothing phone to stand out in what he calls a ‘boring sea of sameness’. And with a subsequent string of awards and a dedicated cult following, all eyes have been on today’s launch. “What really stands out again is the phone’s updated design, which combines a transparent back cover with Nothing’s unique Glyph Interface. Additional LED lights on the back of the screen not only have real practical value, informing the user of various notifications, but they also help inject some much-needed fun back into technology.” “Users will get access to solid camera performance, a large battery and a powerful Snapdragon processor starting from a very reasonable £579. However, Nothing has really dialled up its investment in software of late. “Nothing OS 2.0 is the company’s bespoke take on Android and it really delivers on Pei’s ambition to create a truly personalised mobile experience – from a highly versatile home screen that avoids the usual barrage of branded apps, to a bespoke ringtone creator developed in collaboration with Swedish House Mafia.”
