Carl Pei's consumer tech brand Nothing on Tuesday launched Phone (2), its flagship smartphone and a successor to last year's Nothing Phone (1). The Nothing Phone (2) brings some notable changes, such as the new Glyph Interface at the back, which aims to let users minimise screen interactions by accessing key information at a glance, revamped Nothing OS 2.0, and top-tier Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC, among others. This is the first premium device from Nothing that comes with a 50MP dual rear camera.
