Nothing Phone 2 price drops by
Rs 15,000
By Ankita Garg
The Nothing Phone 2 has received a big price drop of Rs 15,000 just a month before the launch of the Nothing Phone 3. This is a good deal for those who have been planning to buy this phone at a lower price.
The Nothing Phone (2) is currently selling with a massive discount offer. Amazo is offering the device at Rs 29,993 (white model).
The Nothing Phone 2 was originally launched in India for Rs 44,999, which means consumers are getting a flat discount of about
Rs 15,000.
There is also an extra Rs 1,000 coupon discount on Amazon, which you can tick mark on on the Phone 2 listing. The discounted amount is visible at the checkout, which will reduce the price to Rs 28,999.
It is currently unknown when this offer will expire. But, this deal won't likely go anywhere and those who can wait for the Nothing Phone 3 should do that to see what the new smartphone holds.
To recall, the Nothing Phone (2) comes packed with a 6.7-inch display with a resolution of 1080x2412 and up to 120Hz refresh rate.
The Nothing Phone (2) is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor.
The Nothing Phone (2) includes a dual camera setup including a 50-megapixel Sony IMX890 sensor + 50-megapixel Samsung JN1 sensor.
It is backed by a 4700mAh battery with support for 45W fast charging.
You can consider buying the Nothing Phone 2 if you can't wait for the Phone 3. It is still a good smartphone. But, it would be wise to wait for its successor as it is just a month away. Do keep in mind that the new model would be a tad expensive, something which Nothing has hinted.

Gold prices seen to face a big crash in just two months

Gold prices may have hit their peak and could decline by 12–15 per cent in dollar terms over the next two months, according to Quant Mutual Fund. 'However, our medium-term and long-term views are equally constructive and we reiterate that a meaningful percentage of your portfolio should be dedicated towards precious metals,' it added. A US-based Morningstar analyst has already forecasted a 38 per cent drop in the next few years. On Tuesday, retail gold prices hovered around Rs 96,960 per 10 gm. With a 3 per cent goods and services tax, the price of 10 gm of gold stood at Rs 99,868. Kavita Chacko, research head of India at World Gold Council, said stability in prices could prompt a resurgence in demand in the world's second-largest consumer of the yellow metal. The rise in gold prices is hurting retailers. Gold jewellery sales in India fell 30 per cent to 1,600 kg on average in the past fortnight, according to the India Bullion & Jewellers Association (IBJA), as prices shot up nearly 5 per cent . 'In the first fortnight of May, which was followed by Akshaya Tritiya, there was some momentum as prices started falling, touching Rs 92,365 per 10 gm on May 15. But since then, the price of the yellow metal has again started to move northwards, which has dampened the demand,' said Surendra Mehta, national secretary, IBJA. Gold's recent rally was fueled by economic uncertainty, inflation concerns, and geopolitical tensions. Investors turned to gold as a safe asset, particularly amid ongoing trade disputes initiated during former US President Donald Trump's tenure. However, multiple factors could now drive prices downward. US trade tensions influencing gold markets Trade tensions between the United States and China are keeping investors on edge. Market participants are now watching closely for a possible call this week between President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping. This comes just days after Trump accused China of violating an agreement to reduce tariffs and trade barriers. In Europe, the European Commission has pushed back, stating it will urge the U.S. to lower or eliminate tariffs. However, the U.S. is still moving ahead with plans to double steel and aluminum tariffs to 50 per cent . According to a draft letter seen by Reuters, Washington is also pressing countries to submit revised trade offers by Wednesday to speed up negotiations before a five-week deadline.

Rs 1 crore salary's reality in Mumbai: Big deal or just average? IIM graduate busts the myth

In India, earning Rs 1 crore annually has long been seen as a significant financial milestone—a symbol of success and comfort. However, in Mumbai, the story is more complicated. An alumnus of IIM Ahmedabad, Anurag Singal, recently shared insights on LinkedIn explaining why a Rs 1 crore salary means very different things depending on where you live in the city and the lifestyle you lead. The Rs 1 Crore Dream vs. Reality in Mumbai Singal points out that Rs 1 crore a year does place you among the top 0.1% of income earners in India, well above the Rs 50 lakh mark defining the top 1%. On paper, this is impressive, especially when compared to the median household income in Mumbai, which is roughly Rs 6–8 lakh annually according to a 2024 IIM study. That means a Rs 1 crore salary is about 12 to 15 times the average income. But the challenge is Mumbai's high cost of living. In upscale neighborhoods such as Worli or Bandra West, monthly rent can range from Rs 1.5 lakh to Rs 3 lakh. Add to that hefty tax bills—under the new tax regime, one might pay upwards of Rs 38 lakh annually—and the income starts to shrink quickly. Singal emphasizes that these costs chip away at what might initially appear to be a large salary. What Really Consumes Your Income? Singal breaks down common expenses that eat into a Rs 1 crore salary: Rent in expensive areas: Rs 1.5–3 lakh per month International school fees for children: around Rs 5 lakh annually Dining out, which can cost Rs 10,000 or more per meal Family vacations, often exceeding Rs 5 lakh yearly Factoring these in, Singal suggests that after taxes and expenses, one might only save between Rs 10 lakh and Rs 20 lakh a year. His candid assessment is that while Rs 1 crore is 'solid,' it's definitely not enough to 'buy a yacht.' Location Matters: Thane vs. South Mumbai Where you live in Mumbai makes a huge difference. In suburbs like Borivali or Thane, earning Rs 1 crore annually makes you stand out and provides a comfortable lifestyle. You can afford a larger home, personal vehicle, and save money while enjoying a good quality of life. However, in South Mumbai's boardrooms, filled with finance and tech executives earning between Rs 1 crore and Rs 5 crore or more, Rs 1 crore is considered just 'par for the course.' With over 20,000 ultra-high-net-worth individuals residing in the city, Singal notes that 'wealth, not income, is the real flex' here. Changing Perceptions of Wealth The IIM alumnus' observations highlight how earning Rs 1 crore can feel very different depending on your environment. While it is undoubtedly a financial achievement, it is no longer the ultimate sign of prosperity in Mumbai's elite circles. The key takeaway from Singal's post is that Rs 1 crore is 'nice,' but it should be seen more as a milestone on the journey rather than the finish line. The value of a Rs 1 crore salary in Mumbai depends on lifestyle choices, location, and expenses. For many, especially outside the city's priciest areas, it remains a mark of success. For others, it's simply the starting point in a highly competitive and costly urban landscape.
