Nothing Phone 2 will launch in July globally, Nothing Co-Founder and CEO Carl Pei confirmed in a media interview on Thursday. It is also confirmed to house a slightly larger battery than the 4,500mAh cell in the Nothing Phone 1. The former OnePlus Co-Founder earlier revealed that the Nothing Phone 2 will be powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC. Unlike the Phone 1, the second-generation handset will make its way to the US simultaneously with the rest of the world. The new offering by the UK brand could be identical in design to the original Nothing Phone 1.

In an interview with Forbes, Carl Pei revealed that Nothing's next smartphone, the Phone 2, will launch in July. He also confirmed that the phone will pack a 4,700mAh battery, a 200mAh increase compared to the 4,500mAh unit in the Nothing Phone 1.

The second-generation Nothing handset is also confirmed to make its way to the US alongside the global release. The Nothing Phone 1 didn't get a US release, but American buyers were given a chance to test out the handset through a special beta programme. They had to pay $299 (roughly Rs. 24,400) to participate in the programme and would get access to a black version of the Nothing Phone 1 with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of onboard storage.
