While Samsung and Apple may be leading the market with some of the most recognised and powerful phones on the planet, British startup Nothing made waves in the tech industry last year with its reasonably priced, but highly stylised device the Nothing Phone (1).
The Nothing Phone (1) managed to stand out in a brimming phone market by disrupting the mid-range phone scene with its snazzy high-tech design and decent specs, all for a very reasonable £399.
The only real criticism levied at this budget call maker was its modest processor for not being the newest or most powerful on the market. However, Nothing is addressing that concern.
The firm's CEO, Carl Pei announced at Mobile World Congress last month that their new device - aptly named the Nothing Phone (2) - will use the dramatically more powerful Snapdragon 8 Series giving the brain of this phone a massive upgrade.
This is the same chip powering the best the brightest flagship Android devices that are coming out this year including the Samsung Galaxy S23 and OnePlus 11.
To boost its power without hurting pockets, Nothing could also keep costs low by using the slightly older 8+ Gen 1 chip, a still impressive brain that was used by rivals, OnePlus’s 10T and the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 and Fold 4.
