Apple has recently released the second beta version of iOS 17, available for developers and beta testers. Building upon the initial Beta 1 release, iOS 17 Beta 2 brings forth several notable changes and enhancements.

Here are the following changes and enhancements you can expect:

Redesigned Update Screen and Enhanced Features

One of the noticeable changes in iOS 17 Beta 2 is the redesigned update screen, offering users more comprehensive information about the beta software. This provides developers and testers with a clearer understanding of the updates and improvements being implemented.

Tap to AirDrop and MicroLocation Enhancements

Among the significant additions to iOS 17 Beta 2 is the introduction of the “tap to AirDrop” feature. This functionality enables users to initiate file transfers simply by touching their devices together, streamlining the sharing process.

The Location Settings page within the System Settings menu now includes a new MicroLocation option. When enabled, this feature enhances location data accuracy for apps and location sharing, providing users with more detailed and precise location information.

Message Check-In and StandBy Mode Enhancements

iOS 17 Beta 2 introduces the Message Check-In feature to the Messages app. Users can now automatically send full or limited location data to their contacts when they reach a specific destination.

In StandBy mode, users now have the option to disable all notifications while still receiving critical notifications. This feature provides a more focused and uninterrupted experience for users who desire temporary relief from non-essential alerts.

This suggests that vivo aims to cater to users with varying storage needs.

Refreshed Variant with Enhanced Storage

The vivo X90s is expected to be a refreshed version of the vivo X90, featuring notable upgrades. Unlike its predecessor, which offered an 8GB RAM with a 128GB storage option, the X90s exclusively offers UFS 4.0 storage across all configurations.

Nothing Phone (2) price leaked ahead of launch

As the much-anticipated launch date of the Nothing Phone (2) approaches, leaks regarding its pricing have surfaced online, providing early insights into the device’s cost.

The leaks suggest that the Nothing 5G phone will come in two models, with the base variant offering 256GB of storage. While the prices in Europe appear to be higher, the Indian market might see a more competitive price range.

Image Source: Dealabs
Higher Price in Europe

According to leaked information from Dealabs, the Nothing Phone (2) could see a 50% price hike in the European market. The starting price for the device is rumored to be EUR 729. This roughly translates to around Rs 65,590 in India. However, it’s worth noting that smartphone prices often vary across regions, and Indian models tend to be priced lower compared to their European counterparts. Therefore, we can expect the Nothing Phone (2) to be priced under Rs 50,000 in India. Consumers can also expert a target range of less than Rs 45,000 to cater to the market’s preferences.

Storage Options and Pricing

The leaked information suggests that the Nothing Phone (2) base variant will offer 256GB of storage. It also indicates a price of EUR 729 for this model. Additionally, there is a mention of a 512GB storage variant priced at EUR 849 (approximately Rs 76,380). While the leaked prices may seem steep considering the features offered, it is crucial to consider the device’s overall performance and capabilities before drawing final conclusions.

Nothing‘s CEO, Carl Pei, has previously indicated that the Nothing Phone (2) aims to compete with top-end flagship phones. However, whether this refers solely to performance or includes pricing remains unclear. So far, the company has revealed only a few key features. Detailed specifications are yet to be unveiled, which will provide a better understanding of the device’s value proposition.

While the leaked prices pertain to the European market, the Nothing Phone (2) cost in other regions is yet to be disclosed. The official price will also be revealed on July 11, while the device will be available for purchase via Flipkart.

Stay tuned for updates as more information becomes available closer to the launch date.
