Nothing raises $96mn in latest funding before Phone (2) launch, Swedish House Mafia among investors

Swedish DJ trio Swedish House Mafia recently collaborated with the brand, customising a Glyph composer that’ll allow users to make their own ringtones on Nothing Phone (1) and Phone (2). 

Nothing US expansion

With the latest funding, Nothing will use it to expand the brand’s presence in the US market. Its first smartphone, the Nothing Phone (1) did not launch in the US due to mobile network issues. But it has confirmed that it will be bringing the Nothing Phone (2) which will be a first for the company. 

Nothing Phone (2) launch

Nothing Phone (2) is scheduled for a global released on July 11th. The smartphone will be available to pre-order today in India via Flipkart. There are pre-order offers such as a 50 percent discount on Nothing accessories, and cashbacks from select banks. 

Earlier this week, Nothing announced it has partnered with Swedish House Mafia to create a customisable ringtone pack for the Phone (1) and Phone (2). It’s called the ‘Glyph Sound Pack’ and it will be available with this new ‘Glyph Composer’ through which you can customise the ringtones.
