So, Nothing has released its second generation of the Nothing Phone, with double the price of the first one. Let's take a look how the two compare and what that new price brings along.
Mostly, the differences you can spot between the Nothing Phone and Nothing Phone if you look at their spec sheets are quite small with one very obvious exception, the processor. Likely the most responsible upgrade for the increase in price, the new Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 Qualcomm chipset included in Nothing's latest phone should offer a much higher level of performance and better power efficiency.
Of course, there are other notable improvements like the jump to 45W charging speeds, a slightly larger display and battery, and a third option with 512GB of internal storage .The Nothing Phone was already a great mid-range device, especially given the fact that it came with a price tag that perfectly matched what it offered. The Nothing Phone , however, is a bit of a tougher sell when you factor in its starting price is double that of last year's model.
Truth be told, most of what's improved with the Phone has to do with the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1. Now, yes, it is a far superior chipset that is capable of much more than the Snapdragon 778G+ in the Phone , but it acts more as a futureproofing. The Nothing Phone , apart from a few hiccups here and there, was still perfectly capable of most tasks and scenarios.
So, it all boils down to how much you need that extra horsepower. There is a feel for diminishing returns when it comes to the price-to-performance ratio, so make sure you really need that if you decide to upgrade to the Nothing Phone . Yeah, besides the faster processor, you also get some other minor upgrades, but that's just what they are — minor. Nothing has promised 3 years of OS updates, so you can at least wait and see what the company comes up with next year if you want to stick to Nothing phones. Hopefully, the price remains the same as this year, but there would be even more meaningful changes to justify it.
