Nothing, the consumer tech startup led by Oppo co-founder Carl Pei, is launching its second-generation smartphone in the U.S. in July. Pei
confirmed the details to Forbes, saying the Apple-dominated U.S. market
is a good opportunity for Nothing as there is a lack of iPhone
alternatives. - Pei said the Phone 2 will be a more premium version than its Phone 1, which launched last year.
- The
latest generation will be powered by a Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1, with a
larger 4,700mAh battery, and sold in Europe as well as the U.S.
- Its
predecessor, a rival to Apple's iPhone SE, has a Qualcomm Snapdragon
778G Plus, along with a 6.55-inch OLED display and 120Hz adaptive
refresh rate.
- Nothing released its first product, wireless earbuds, in 2021. About one-third of the earbud sales are from the U.S.
- The company has decided that the U.S. will be its No 1 priority market, Pei has said.
