Smartphone · Nothing · 2023
The Nothing Phone (2) 256GB is Nothing's 2023 smartphone featuring a 6.7 inches, 108.0 cm2 (~87.2% screen-to-body ratio) display, the Qualcomm SM8475 Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 (4 nm) chipset. It comes with a 4700 mAh battery. At AED 1,450 in the UAE and ₹30,999 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The Nothing Phone (2) excels with its 1600-nit peak brightness LTPO OLED display, 1920Hz PWM for flicker-free viewing, and 45W wired charging that hits 100% in 55 minutes. Its 120Hz refresh rate and 1B-color depth deliver smooth, vibrant visuals unmatched in its price tier. This phone targets users who prioritize display quality and fast charging over camera versatility—especially those in bright climates like Dubai or Delhi who need legible screens outdoors. The weakness? Thermals throttle under sustained gaming; the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 hits 42°C after 20 minutes of Genshin Impact, causing frame drops. In UAE at AED 1450, it’s competitive because no other phone under AED 1600 offers 1600-nit HDR, 120Hz LTPO, and 45W charging. In India at ₹30999, it’s overpriced—same specs are available in Xiaomi 13T Pro for ₹29999 with better cooling and a 50MP main sensor. Choose only if display and charging are non-negotiable.
