There is just under two weeks left to go until the Nothing Phone (2) is unveiled, and many are eager to see what the brand have been working on. We already know a fair amount about the device, though.

Earlier information provided by the brand confirmed that the device would be a little larger than the Nothing Phone (1). We also know that it will be powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1. That's a slightly older chipset, but should still provide a welcome upgrade over the original device.

It's not the first time we've caught a glimpse of the new handset. We saw details of a ringtone upgrade coming to the device recently. That video was shared by Nothing, and showed the new feature in use on the handset.

We've also seen screenshots taken on the new device. Those, shared by Nothing CEO Carl Pei, showed off the new Nothing OS 2.0 software. They also gave away the position of the front-facing camera. That's going to be centre-mounted on the Phone (2), where the Phone (1) had it placed in the upper left-hand corner.

It's shaping up to be a fantastic device. While it's definitely not a flagship level spec sheet, it does look like a decent improvement over the initial offering. The device should offer a more premium feel for users who need a little more power.

We'll know more in just a couple of weeks. The Nothing Phone (2) will be unveiled on the 11th of July.
