Nothing Phone (2) camera: Mighty main sensor to challenge Apple, Samsung

The long-awaited sequel to the Nothing saga is finally here! Nothing officially revealed its Nothing Phone (2) models, and among all the upgrades, one is poised to make a huge impact. The camera. This time around, Nothing is aiming for the big boys, trying to bite a chunk from that sweet, sweet flagship pie. But enough chit-chat; let's see what's so special about the Nothing Phone's new camera.

Nothing Phone (2) camera upgrades: What's new?

The big upgrade comes in the form of a brand new image sensor, namely the Sony IMX890. It's a 50MP 1/1.56" sensor with a 1 μm pixel size that sits under a 24mm wide lens with an f/1.88 aperture. On paper, this looks like a substantial upgrade compared to the first Nothing Phone, which featured a Sony IMX766 sensor under its main camera lens.

There's no upgrade on the ultrawide camera; it's the same 50 MP ultrawide with a Samsung JN1 sensor and F2.2 lens aperture. The selfie camera, on the other hand, is brand new, upgraded from the 16MP IMX471 on the Nothing Phone (1) to a 32MP Sony IMX615 sensor with a f/2.45 aperture and a 1/2.74” sensor size.

How many cameras does the new Nothing Phone (2) have?

The Nothing Phone (2) retains the classic wide-ultrawide formula for its main camera system, consisting of the aforementioned 50MP wide camera and 50MP ultrawide one. There's a hole-punch selfie placed in the top center of the phone, just like with the first iteration of the phone. It has upgraded hardware though, and you can check out the quality below.
