The Nothing Phone (2)'s launch will be streamed on July 11, starting at 11 a.m. ET.

What We Know So Far: Thanks to teasers from the company, it has been confirmed that the Nothing Phone (2) will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chipset and a bigger 4,700mAh battery.

Nothing also retains the "glyph" notification lights first seen on last year's Phone (1). Apart from alerting about new notifications, these lights also add a dash of style to the phone, helping it stand out amongst its competitors.

Why It's Important: The Nothing Phone (2) will be the first smartphone from the company to reach the U.S. shores, largely dominated by Apple and Samsung. While the Phone (1) was a mid-ranger, the Phone (2) places itself in the flagship segment, thanks to the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chipset.

While Nothing managed to sell around 750,000 units of the Phone (1), it was not launched in the U.S. Carl Pei told Inverse that the U.S. is now Nothing's "No. 1 priority".
