Nothing Phone 2 could be semi-transparent or at least have a translucent charging cable. It won’t be a small phone either. Here’s everything we have learned about the phone from Carl Pei as well as leaks and rumours.

So, the top portion of USB-C connector of Nothing Phone 2 sports the signature "transparent design language" of the brand. You can see the Nothing brandng through the transparent part.
Carl calls it "nice" and we agree. It does look nice but we are concerned whether it will be discoloured in time.

Carl says not many people buy small phones. Generally, people prefer big displays for media consumption. More display for the money one pays.

He also reveals it takes about the same amount of investment for developing a small device and a new device.

The Phone 2 will be SGA_SA certified. It will have a carbon footprint of 53.45 kg thanks to a plastic-free build and a use of 3x more recycled materials compared to its precursor. Even the assembly process is said to be using 100% renewable energy.
