The customizable LED system on the back of the Phone (1) called the Glyph interface is also expected to make a comeback in the Phone (2). The phone’s anticipated to release by the end of 2023.

Pei has also confirmed that the US market will be its focus this time around. The Nothing Phone (1) was not released in the US as it did not have the necessary cellular bands for the market.
“When you make a smartphone for the U.S. you need to work with the carriers on certification and adapting some of their features into your OS. We didn't have the resources for that before and now we do,” Pei said.
Pei also talked about the success of The Nothing store experiment saying that a physical store to experience the phone was a much better idea than billboards in big cities. This time around, Pei expects to open more stores worldwide and expand the company's physical presence.
Pei is also optimistic about the economic downturn, saying that it can be a good opportunity for Nothing to scoop up valuable properties around the world at bargain prices.
The Nothing Phone (1) is the first device from the company Nothing, and it brings a unique design. It has a 6.55-inch Super AMOLED touchscreen with HDR10+ support and a 120 Hz refresh rate, as well as a dual stereo speaker system. The phone is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 778+ octa-core processor and is priced at Rs 35,999 for the 128 GB storage/8 GB RAM version.
