Nothing!! Yes, NOTHING Phone is on its way to hit Market places

           Nothing Phone Launch Event      

Carl Pei - the man behind the Nothing brand made some important announcements today. Nothing is not an audio company as previously thought and it aims to be an ecosystem rival to the likes of Apple. Pei even went as far as claiming that Nothing aims to be “the most compelling alternative to Apple” with products that connect and function seamlessly. The company is in fact reading an entry in the smartphone market which will be dubbed Nothing phone (1) and will run a custom user interface on top of Android dubbed Nothing OS.

As described by Pei, Nothing phone (1) will “be a breath of fresh air to the sleepy smartphone industry” bringing better value to users with a one-of-a-kind design. No actual specifications were provided but we got a clear indication that Nothing is partnering with Qualcomm which is the likely chipset provider as well as Samsung, Sony, and Visionox which will also be key component suppliers.

Pei confirmed more information will be shared later this summer signaling a likely launch for the Nothing phone (1) and guaranteed 3 OS updates and 4 years of Android security updates. We also got a cryptic schematic of what’s believed to be the phone (1)’s back design which may feature notification lights and a transparent back design expected to expose some of its key components.

Nothing OS will be the custom Android skin power the Nothing phone (1) and the Nothing OS launcher will be available to download and use for select Android smartphones in April. The premise behind the skin is a smooth and fast user experience without any bloatware or heavy system apps. The interface features a dot matrix design with font, icons, and widgets throughout the operating system having a unified look.

Pei also talked about dynamic RAM caching which will help your most-used apps launch faster. The UI has gentle changing animations and a uniform design. First-party apps like the voice recorder come with a minimalist design and a cool rewind feature.

MORE ABOUT NOTHING: 

Nothing brand is hosting its global event on March 23, where the company is expected to reveal a slew of products for consumers. The launch event from Nothing will be live-streamed from 7:30 PM later today, where Carl Pei, Founder, Nothing will host the keynote and talk about his company’s plans for this year.

The company has so far launched its Nothing true wireless earbuds in the market. And now, it seems ready to enter the main arena with a Nothing smartphone launch expected at the event.

The Nothing launch event will be available via the Nothing YouTube page at 7:30 PM IST on March 23. The company is also offering the event live stream on its official website for viewers.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Carl Pei has used social media to tease multiple hints about what Nothing could launch in the market. He had recently shared an update about being back on Android, which suggests Carl has been testing the purported Nothing smartphone, likely to be powered by a Snapdragon chipset.

Adding further fuel to rumors, Carl was spotted at the Mobile World Congress 2022 (MWC 2022) in Barcelona, hanging out with Qualcomm executives, and even reportedly showing a prototype of the Nothing phone with the company’s engineers.

Nothing did talk about having five products lined up after its truly wireless earbuds for consumers in 2022. And it is expected that a smartphone could be among the lineup. In addition to the Nothing phone, reports have also talked about Nothing launching a power bank that could support fast charging for other devices.

The global launch event this week is going to put all those rumors to bed, and we are hoping that Nothing ‘truly’ lives up to the hype created by Carl and Co. in the past few months.
