Almost a year to the day, Nothing replaces its debut handset, the Nothing Phone (1) with – unsurprisingly – the Nothing Phone (2). We get hands-on with this evolution of the esoteric company’s latest device, noting its key features and the ways in which it diverges from the smartphone standard.

Phone (2) is more of the same: once you’ve torn into the plastic-free packaging (which also tells us that 53 of the phone’s parts are made from sustainable materials) and shunned the hollow unboxing ritual, you’re greeted with a ‘naked’ device, with layered elements delineated by Nothing’s ‘Glyph’ interface.
