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.

humain and nvidia partner to build saudi ai factories of the future

HUMAIN, the AI-focused subsidiary of Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, has announced a strategic partnership with NVIDIA to build the infrastructure powering Saudi Arabia’s next industrial revolution: AI factories capable of driving massive-scale innovation and digital transformation.

The partnership reflects HUMAIN’s plans to turn the Kingdom into a global AI powerhouse by building new infrastructure, real-world applications, and investing in talent. Through the alliance, HUMAIN and NVIDIA will construct hyperscale AI data centers, digital twins, and launch national upskilling programs.

At the heart of the partnership is HUMAIN’s plan to deploy AI factories with a capacity of up to 500 megawatts, fueled by hundreds of thousands of NVIDIA GPUs over the next five years. Phase one includes the installation of 18,000 NVIDIA GB300 Grace Blackwell superchips and InfiniBand networking, creating one of the world’s most powerful AI supercomputing environments.

These centers will provide the scale and security needed to support innovation across Saudi Arabia’s industries — from energy and logistics to healthcare and finance.

“AI, like electricity and the internet, is essential infrastructure for every nation,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “Together with HUMAIN, we are building AI infrastructure for the people and companies of Saudi Arabia to realize the bold vision of the Kingdom”.

HUMAIN will also leverage NVIDIA Omniverse to drive the next phase of industrial transformation — physical AI. By simulating and optimizing complex environments in digital twin form, sectors like manufacturing, utilities, and logistics can operate more efficiently, safely, and sustainably.

“Our partnership with NVIDIA is a bold step forward in realizing the Kingdom’s ambitions to lead in AI and advanced digital infrastructure,” said Tareq Amin, CEO of HUMAIN. “Together, we are building the capacity, capability, and a new globally enabled community to shape a future powered by intelligent technology and empowered people”.

In tandem with infrastructure development, HUMAIN and NVIDIA will also launch large-scale AI education and training initiatives, designed to upskill thousands of Saudi professionals in advanced AI, robotics, and digital twin technologies.

These efforts will contribute to building a self-sustaining AI ecosystem and support Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 ambitions for economic diversification and digital leadership.
