Direct answer: Nothing Phone (2) screen replacement is £259.95 fitted, a battery is £74.95, a charging-port repair is £74.95 and back glass is £89.95 — reflecting the OLED panel and the Glyph flex connector complexity on this model.

The Nothing Phone (2) is the 2023 flagship and, now that early units are two-plus years old, screens and batteries are a real demand. This model-level page gives the exact price for every common Phone (2) repair, explains what makes the handset cost what it does to fix, and helps you tell a Phone (2) from the budget Phone (2a) if you are unsure which you own.

Nothing Phone (2) screen replacement
The Phone (2) uses a large, high-refresh-rate OLED display, and genuine Nothing-sourced panels are scarce outside official channels — the main reason the screen sits at £259.95. We fit an OEM-grade panel that preserves the colour, brightness and touch response the display is known for, laminated with OCA adhesive. (Confirm exact size and refresh figures against Nothing's spec sheet rather than trusting memory; the point is the panel quality, not the numbers.) See our Nothing Phone screen replacement page for the full range.
Nothing Phone (2) battery replacement
The Phone (2) supports fast wired and wireless charging, and like every lithium-ion cell its capacity falls with age and charge cycles — shorter life and the odd shutdown are the typical signs. Reaching the cell means removing the glued back glass with controlled heat, which is part of the £74.95 price. We fit an OEM-grade, cycle-rated cell. See our Nothing Phone battery replacement page.
Nothing Phone (2) charging port repair
The USB-C port is typically board-mounted and needs micro-soldering to replace. Because the Phone (2) supports wireless charging, that is a useful stop-gap while the port is assessed. The 9-month connector-tier guarantee applies. See our charging port repair page.
Back glass & Glyph panel
The transparent back glass houses the Glyph LED matrix, and back-glass replacement requires careful management of the Glyph flex connector — the part of the job most generic shops get wrong. The £89.95 price reflects that added care, not just the glass.
Phone (2) vs Phone (2a) — which model do you have?
Worth checking before you book, because the two are priced differently. The Phone (2) is the 2023 flagship; the Phone (2a) is a 2024 budget model with different hardware and a lower repair cost (screen £179.95, battery £59.95). If you own the (2a) rather than the (2), the prices on this page do not apply — see the hub for the (2a) figures.
Repair by post
Book at /repair/phone/nothing, post your Phone (2) tracked and insured via Royal Mail Special Delivery, and we diagnose free, confirm the price, repair, and return it tracked and insured. Full detail in our repair by post guide. For how the Phone (2) compares with other brands, see our Android and Samsung screen guides.
The transparent rear panel and Glyph LEDs are fragile — extra corner padding keeps the back glass intact in transit.
What the common Phone (2) repairs involve
The Phone (2) has a couple of design characteristics that shape its repair economics — the OLED front panel and the Glyph LED matrix behind a transparent glued back — and the bench process for each common job is worth understanding.
Screen replacement — the scarce OLED
The Phone (2) front assembly is warmed on a controlled heated platen to release the factory perimeter adhesive, then separated with precision picks working the edges inward to protect the display flex. Nothing-sourced OLED panels are genuinely scarce outside official channels, which is the core reason the screen sits at £259.95 rather than the budget-phone norm. An OEM-grade panel preserves the colour, brightness and high refresh the display is known for, laminated on fresh optically clear adhesive, with the optical fingerprint sensor re-paired to the new panel. An aftermarket copy would dim and shift colour on a screen you look at all day — which is why we will not fit one. The full range is on our Nothing Phone screen replacement page.
Battery replacement — and the Glyph-aware rear entry
Reaching the Phone (2) cell means opening the glued transparent back, which is warmed and lifted evenly with controlled heat. The wrinkle a Nothing-specific tech handles that a generalist misses is the Glyph flex connector that lives just inside that back panel — it has to be managed throughout so the LED matrix keeps working. The old cell is disconnected and lifted with heat rather than force, an OEM-grade cycle-rated replacement is seated, and the back is resealed. The cell-grade reasoning is on our OEM vs aftermarket vs genuine parts page.
Charging port — board-mounted micro-soldering
The Phone (2) USB-C port is typically board-mounted, so a genuine replacement is a micro-solder job — desolder the failed port, reflow a new one — rather than a swap. That is why it carries the 9-month connector tier rather than the 27 months the screen and battery earn. The useful wrinkle is that the Phone (2) supports wireless charging, so if your port fails you can keep the phone powered by a pad while the repair is booked and assessed. See our Nothing Phone charging port repair page.
How the Phone (2) compares with other Android flagships
The Phone (2) is a single flagship-tier handset, so its repair pricing clusters at the upper-middle of the Android range — there is no budget tier to pull the floor down, as there is with Xiaomi.
- Against OnePlus. The OnePlus 12/13 flagships sit in the same OLED-flagship band, with curved-panel complexity on top. See our OnePlus screen replacement page.
- Against Xiaomi. Xiaomi's flagship 13/14 compare on panel cost, but Xiaomi's wider family brings its floor far lower. See our Xiaomi screen replacement page.
- Against Samsung. Samsung's Galaxy S flagships push higher still on curved panels and the S Pen digitiser. See our Samsung screen repair cost guide.
The honest read: the Phone (2) is a distinctive handset worth repairing, and the scarce-OLED factor is the main reason its screen costs what it does. The cross-brand picture is on our Android screen replacement cost hub.
Repair, replace, or claim on insurance?
The Phone (2) remains a strong, characterful handset, and a £259.95 screen or a £74.95 battery is a fraction of a replacement device — underwritten by the 27-month guarantee, more than double the 12 months most independent UK repairers offer. Across the common jobs, repair wins.
If you carry phone insurance with accidental-damage cover, a claim is another route, but weigh the excess, the effect on next year's premium, and the fact that many insurers fit aftermarket panels rather than OEM-grade — our repair vs insurance claim comparison lays out the trade-offs. The exception is a Phone (2) with a separate board or liquid fault alongside the visible damage; there the maths changes, and we will diagnose it free and tell you plainly if it has crossed the beyond-economical-repair line before you commit.
What we test before your Phone (2) ships back
Every Phone (2) repair finishes with a full function pass tailored to the work done: display uniformity and edge-to-edge touch on a screen, clean sealing and accurate charge reporting on a battery, a stable debris-free connection on a port. Because the Glyph matrix sits behind the rear panel, we also confirm the LEDs still fire the correct pattern after any repair that routes past that flex — the step that lets us return your handset, not a swap, with the full guarantee intact.
