The Nothing Phone (2) wants to fight against an ugly truth about today's smartphones. With the exception of the best foldable phones, today’s smartphone designs are fairly predictable. Phones are slabs, fashioned together with glass and metal trim bezels. Gone are the days when people in public would stop me and ask what phone I was using.
But Nothing, the company started up by OnePlus founder Carl Pei and the maker of the new Nothing Phone (2), is making design an integral focus with its devices. The Nothing Phone (1) that came out last year was a budget-minded smartphone highlighted by a refreshing design language that stood out with its eye-catching Glyph Interface lighting system. And the Nothing Phone (2) looks to continue that.
