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.

All-electric aircraft company Joby Aviation has secured three separate agreements with departments of Abu Dhabi’s government that lay the groundwork to develop and scale air taxi services in the Emirate and beyond.

The deal was signed at the recent DRIFTx thought-leadership and exhibition platform and gave Joby exclusive rights to not only operate air taxi services in Dubai but also unlock inter-emirate services between Abu Dhabi.

Joe Ben Bevirt, founder and CEO of Joby Aviation, said: “Today’s agreement demonstrates the incredible momentum behind the adoption of clean flight across the UAE. We’re looking forward to delivering a fantastic experience for our future customers in Abu Dhabi and we’re excited to be unlocking the potential for zero-emissions flight between Abu Dhabi and Dubai. We’re grateful for the support and collaboration of our governmental partners and the entire ecosystem in Abu Dhabi and we remain deeply impressed by their commitment to building out a world-class aviation ecosystem in the Emirate”.

Joby’s all-electric aircraft went on display for the first time in Abu Dhabi’s Yas Marina at the DRIFTx event. The air taxi is designed to carry a pilot and four passengers and can reach speeds of 200 miles per hour (321 km/h). The zero-emission craft is said to have an extremely low acoustic footprint and can travel a maximum of 100 miles (161 km) on a single charge.

Once operational, Joby’s air taxi fleet would enable fast, clean travel across the UAE, with journeys between Abu Dhabi to Dubai taking just 30 minutes compared with two hours by car during peak times.

Joby continues to work closely with the UAE’s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) to help the Emirates become a world leader in the introduction of air taxis. Additional testing and analysis will be required before inter-emirate travel becomes a reality, but the cutting-edge technology already appears to have great potential.
