The Nothing brand has publicly confirmed that its second smartphone, the Nothing Phone (2), will be launched this summer of 2023, without specifying the date. She takes the opportunity to increase the excitement about the novelties of her next model.

Before and after its release, the Nothing phone (1) caused a lot of conversation between mystery, innovation and originality. As the first year of its existence approached, we knew Nothing would launch a Nothing phone (2) without knowing exactly when. That’s not really the case anymore: this smartphone will be presented this summer.

On Twitter we can read that the Nothing phone (2) will arrive in summer 2023 and will be “Premium”. That’s all the ad says, at least explicitly. In fact, this tweet is accompanied by a three-second video in which we see metal or white plastic parts and a flashing red diode.
Bonus.

While the Nothing phone (1) boasted its famous glyph, its system of white LEDs that can be used to highlight notifications or battery level, we don’t know what its successor has in store. This red diode can give us clues. It could also indicate the arrival of notifications. But everything leads us to believe that it is another form of the glowing record witness found on the Nothing Phone (1). By comparing the blinking frequency of the two diodes, we find that that of the phone (2) is faster than its predecessor.

On the page of the Nothing site dedicated to the launch, we can learn more by opening the image that appears in a new tab, since the image is larger. In particular, we see a kind of two-position switch.

It could be a working button, but the chances are very low. In fact, the first Nothing phone of the name also had an element reminiscent of a slider of the same kind, but located at the bottom and not usable. If the red recording indicator that we see has the same position as last year, the part represented is actually the upper left corner of the smartphone. A theory also believed by specialist influencer Ben Geskin, who posted a GIF overlaying this image on the phone (1).

It would be very strange to put a button there. Additionally, the Nothing phone (1) has glass on the back that covers the entire face, and this might be the case with the phone (2) elsewhere.

There is a slight circular void on the grainy part, top left of the Nothing video, without being able to see its usefulness. The same goes for the various parts, which we suspect are made of plastic.
