Right now, the Nothing Phone 2 has dropped from €682 all the way down to €272 at Fnac, which amounts to a jaw-dropping 60% discount. If you’ve been eyeing the mid-range Phone (3a) or waiting for the premium Phone (3), this deal on the Phone 2 makes both look like second fiddle. Plus, Fnac’s trade-in program can knock even more off the sticker price when you send in your old handset.
To sweeten the deal further, Fnac throws in a free pair of Nothing Ear Stick earbuds when you add them to your cart along with the Phone 2. That means you’ll get a solid smartphone and wireless earphones for the price you’d normally pay for a decent mid-range phone.

Distinctive Design and Glyph Interface
The Nothing Phone 2 stands out in a sea of lookalike slabs with its transparent back panel that gives you a peek at the inner components. It’s reminiscent of classic handheld gaming consoles but done with modern flair, thanks to a subtly curved glass finish. The build feels premium without being bulky, measuring 162 x 76 x 8.55 mm and weighing in at 201.2 g—substantial enough for a sturdy grip, yet comfortable to slide into your pocket.
But the real showstopper is the Glyph interface. A series of LEDs embedded on the rear light up in unique patterns to relay notifications, incoming calls, charging status, and more. You can customize each light sequence to match apps or contacts, so you get a glanceable, heads-up display without looking at the screen. It’s quirky, it’s useful, and it’s one of the signature touches that sets Nothing apart.
A Display That Shines
Nothing upgraded the Phone 2’s screen to a 6.7-inch LTPO OLED panel, cruising between a smooth 10 Hz and a buttery 120 Hz depending on what you’re doing. Whether you’re scrolling through social media or smashing high-FPS shooters, the display adjusts to save battery without sacrificing visual performance. Colors are punchy, blacks are deep, and overall clarity is excellent for both daylight and dim environments.
One minor quibble: peak brightness maxes out around 994 nits in HDR, which is slightly below some flagship rivals. But in real-world use, it’s more than enough to keep content vibrant even under bright sun. The centered punch-hole for the selfie cam is minimally intrusive, and the nearly invisible bezels help the Phone 2 feel more expansive than its size suggests.
Powerful Performance and Solid Battery Life
Under the hood, the Phone 2 packs a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset paired with either 8 GB or 12 GB of RAM, depending on the model—here we’re looking at the 8 GB variant. This combo remains zippy for multitasking, gaming, and streaming, and in our tests, heating was remarkably contained even during extended play sessions. It’s proof that a well-tuned thermal setup can keep performance high without turning the phone into a hand warmer.
The 4,700 mAh battery comfortably powers you through a full day of heavy use, spanning video calls, navigation, music streaming, and a few rounds of your favorite mobile games. With 45 W fast charging support, you can juice back up in no time—just note that the fast-charger isn’t included in the box. For photography enthusiasts, dual 50 MP rear cameras handle low-light scenes and daylight shots with equal poise, while the 32 MP front shooter delivers crisp, social-media-ready selfies.
Why This Deal Beats the Mid-Range Competition
When you stack the Phone 2’s premium design, customizable Glyph lights, high-refresh display, and powerful internals against a €299 mid-range model like the Phone (3a), the math is simple: You’re getting flagship-grade features at bargain prices that mid-rangesters can’t match. Even the approaching Phone (3) flagship won’t feel like a steal when you can grab the Phone 2 and earbuds for under €300.
It’s rare to find a phone with such a compelling combination of style, smarts, and savings in one package. Unless you absolutely need the very latest chipset or multi-camera arrays, the Phone 2’s capabilities will satisfy most power users and tech enthusiasts. With Fnac’s limited stock and time-sensitive pricing, you’ll want to move fast before this crazy deal vanishes.
