Nothing

The smartphone market has, for years now, been dominated by Samsung, Apple, and a mix of a handful of other major brands. That’s led to startups usually competing for a sliver of the market, and often turning the page on their original fanbase after reaching a bigger market. This week, two startup Android brands, Nothing and OSOM, both pulled some controversial moves – are you still interested in either of them?

Yesterday, Nothing announced its upcoming Nothing Phone (1) would not launch in the United States. There were plenty of people in the tech community that were outraged that Nothing had been marketing their device so much in the United States to just turn around and ignore it on their first major device launch. While it might feel like a betrayal or that Nothing is ignoring millions of tech enthusiasts in the US, it makes sense for them to not launch the Phone (1) here. Let me explain. 

Carl Pei’s Nothing Phone has built up quite a bit of hype, but if you’re in the US, you shouldn’t get too excited.

There’s a lot of hype behind Carl Pei’s return to smartphones in the Nothing Phone (1), but it remains to be seen if the device will actually live up to expectations. Ahead of its launch, though, we’re getting a first look at the Nothing Phone (1) and its signature trick, “glyph” lights.

After a year of hints, teasers, and the odd leak, the Nothing phone (1) is officially set to launch on July 12 in a live-streamed keynote.

In typical Carl Pei fashion, details on the Nothing Phone (1) have slowly been drip-fed over the past few months to help build hype. The latest such snippets on the Nothing Phone (1) include the potential launch date, pricing, and confirmation that the phone will come with a transparent design.

The Android marketplace is a tough nut to crack, but since 2020, one-time OnePlus cofounder Carl Pei has created hype around his latest startup. Nothing is set to launch its first device — Phone (1) — later this summer, and here’s what to expect.

Despite having only launched a single product, during Nothing Technologies’ “The Truth” live stream CEO Carl Pei confirmed plans to launch an Android-powered phone called “phone (1)” in Summer 2022.

After hitting the scene last year with its well-received Ear 1 earbuds, Nothing seems to be moving quickly to its next product, an Android smartphone.

With a huge hype train comes the expectation that a product will deliver. There’s no denying that Carl Pei’s latest venture will have to live up to a lot of scrutiny over the coming months (and potentially years), but with the launch of the first product — the ear (1) earbuds — we now have a fairly good idea of what Nothing is all about.

After teasers and tidbits, Carl Pei’s Nothing has finally launched the ear (1) Bluetooth earbuds with some competitive features given the $99 entry price.

After a series of launch teasers and little information on upcoming product lines, Carl Pei’s flegling technology brand Nothing is now the sole owner of the one-time smartphone brand Essential.
