In recent days, Carl Pei in person confirmed that this will be the year of the new one NothingPhone (2) and that the brand's next terminal will be more premium (we also have some nice ones concept render).

At MWC 2023 the company confirmed the presence of a Snapdragon 8 series (therefore 8 January 1, 8+ Jan 1 or 8 January 2), however a Qualcomm executive teased something more. The Senior VP and General Manager Alex Katouzian published a post, promptly removed, in which he congratulated Carl Pei for the collaboration with Qualcomm, also revealing the chipset. Nothing Phone (2) will be part of the medium-high range and will have on its side lo Snapdragon 8+ Gen1. Memory side we will find at least 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB storage, with support for Virtual RAM.

As for the battery there will be a step forward with a unit from 5.000 mAh (compared to the 4.500 mAh of the first chapter). The display will again be a unit AMOLED a 120 Hz, but details on the diagonal and resolution are missing. The debut should take place during the second half of the year, presumably during Q3 2023 (i.e. between July and September).
