exclusive nothing phone (2) launch edition announced

On July 11, UK-based smartphone developer, Nothing launched its hotly anticipated flagship device, the “Phone (2)” with devices set to hit the market around July 17 (depending upon the region).

However, if you’re quick, it might be possible to grab an exclusive limited edition version of the handset, known as the Nothing Launch Edition, which drops in Dubai a few days before, on Saturday, July 15.

The Nothing Launch Edition bundle — priced at Dh2,799 — will contain the phone itself, plus a set of Nothing Ear (Stick) headphones, a case and a 45W charger. In addition, Nothing will also bundle in a canvas bag, hat, t-shirt and stickers with the limited edition smartphone.

To grab the early-bird version of this sort-after device, you’ll need to queue outside Sharaf DG in the Dubai Mall before 5pm. At that time, @NothingArabia will select 10 lucky winners.

In the rest of the GCC countries, pre-orders for the Nothing Phone (2) will be open between July 16 and July 20, with devices hitting stores from July 21.

Here are some of the standout features of the new handset:

Glyph Interface

The array of LEDs on the back of the Phone (2) can now be used for more functions than on the Phone (1). Brightness can be adjusted automatically, with glyphs showing a visual countdown timer, charge status and even activity progress in third-party apps.

Nothing OS 2.0

Nothing’s latest operating system is a welcome bloat and clutter-free version of Android, with a monochrome layout and plenty of customization options to make your Nothing Phone (2) truly unique.

Performance Upgrades

Phone (2) boasts a powerful Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset with a decently sized 4700 mAh battery that can be charged to 50% in under 20 minutes. Meanwhile, the 6.7-inch edge-to-edge OLED display can refresh at variable rates, allowing for decent battery life without sacrificing quality.

Camera Specs

Nothing has chosen a pair of 50 MP rear cameras for the Phone (2), paired with an upgraded Sony IMX890 sensor that can film at 4K 60fps. An Action Mode allows for silky-smooth filming, while Motion Capture 2.0 allows precise focus on moving subjects.

uae prepares to launch two satellites thuraya-2 and mbz-sat

HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Deputy Prime Minister of the UAE, chaired the first meeting of the Supreme Space Council in Dubai on December 16, 2024. The session highlighted the UAE’s ambitious space plans and took stock of the sector’s economic progress.

The council emphasized the growing role of private companies in advancing space technologies, noting that their contributions are now equal to that of the public sector. Members also praised initiatives like the Space Economic Zones Programme, which are designed to fuel innovation and investment in the space industry.

Discussing the UAE’s space journey, HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum remarked, “The national space sector continues to grow and advance, and we take immense pride in the remarkable achievements we have accomplished over the years”.

Sheikh Hamdan also received updates on two upcoming satellite projects: Thuraya-2 and MBZ-SAT. Thuraya-2, developed by Space42, is slated for launch this December. Meanwhile, the MBZ-SAT, created by the Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre (MBRSC), will soon follow. MBRSC, a major driver of the UAE National Space Programme, continues to lead the nation’s space-related developments.

Space42 took the opportunity to showcase its advancements, including ongoing collaborations between public and private entities. The company also outlined strategies to promote innovation, boost revenue streams, and create new opportunities for growth in the sector.

The UAE’s current projects build on a growing legacy of space exploration. Back in 2020, the nation made headlines with its Mars mission, successfully sending a probe into the planet’s orbit in 2021. This mission, which is now in its second phase as of June 2024, has been collecting critical data to develop a comprehensive diurnal image of Mars.

The UAE also ventured into lunar exploration with an unmanned mission aimed at studying untouched regions of the Moon’s surface. While the probe ultimately crashed during its landing attempt after communication was lost seconds before touchdown, the effort represented a significant step in the country’s exploration ambitions.
