Nothing

Leaker Mukul Sharma had spotted a trademark called 'CMF BY Nothing' earlier this year, however recently, the same wordmark was spotted attached to a product's certification listing with the model number 'D395,' reports Android Authority. This product is expected to be a smartwatch.

Known for its unique designs and distinctive features, Nothing recently revealed that Phone (2) will feature a premium-tier powerhouse Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset. The Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 features an 18-bit Image Signal Processor (ISP) capable of capturing over 4,000 times more camera data than the ISP used on the Phone (1).

"Nothing smartphones are known for their iconic transparent design. These designs require hi-tech manufacturing processes and precision engineering which have led to the enhancement of smartphone manufacturing capabilities in India," Manu Sharma, VP and GM of Nothing India, said in a statement.

In a tweet, Pei said that it initial tests show that app opening speed on Phone (2) is twice as fast compared to Phone (1), "with an impressive 80 per cent overall performance improvement". "There has been a lot of discussion ever since we announced that Phone (2) will have a Snapdragon 8 Series chipset. Well here's some news - it's going to be the premium-tier powerhouse Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1," he posted.

Moreover, it added that the second smartphone will also be available to purchase in the US for the first time. Earlier, Manu Sharma, Vice President and General Manager, Nothing India, told IANS that they have learnt their lessons with the first smartphone and when they launch their second offering in India soon, it will be an industry-leading device.

Digital content creator Ranveer Allabadia and music composer-singer Jasleen Royal have also come on board, Nothing said in a statement. "The market is overdue for a new player to bring passion back to the field of consumer tech. We are excited that our new strategic and private investors from India feel the same and believe in our vision and mission," said Manu Sharma, VP and General Manager, Nothing India.

Priced at Rs 5,999 and available on Flipkart from August 17, the affordable Nothing ear (1) comes after months of teases, concept images and even a presale, in which Nothing auctioned off 100 pairs of the earbuds before the official launch. The demands for affordable true wireless stereo (TWS) earbuds have increased tremendously in the last few years in India.
