The former co-founder of OnePlus claimed that in addition to improved speed, the new processor also has a significant positive impact on the camera, network connectivity, and battery life. ()

Advanced capabilities like Raw HDR and 4K video recording at 30 frames per second will be available since the Image Signal Processor on the chipset can collect more than 4,000 times the amount of data that the Nothing Phone (1) could.

Carl Pei additionally affirmed that the Nothing Phone (2) will enable satellite connectivity during Mobile World Congress 2023.
