As we all anticipated, Nothing confirmed the existence of its first-ever smartphone at its much-anticipated “Truth” virtual event. As a result of no brainstorming sessions, the Carl Pei-owned company calls it the Nothing phone (1), much like the ear (1). Carl Pei has also revealed a few details about Nothing’s first smartphone. So, keep on reading for all the details we know so far.
The Nothing phone (1) will be powered by a Snapdragon chipset (presently unknown) as part of the company’s collaboration with Qualcomm. This is something we all knew before.
Nothing, via an official blog post, explains that its first phone “is designed to deliver a fast, smooth, and personal experience. A coherent interface, the hardware seamlessly integrates with software through bespoke fonts, colors, graphical elements, and sounds.“
Other than this, the smartphone will follow the design footprint of the Nothing ear (1), hence, we can expect a similar transparent design. Nothing has showcased a sort of blueprint of the device, which appears like a mouse! Do let us know what’s the first thing you get in your head when you see it. Have a look at the Nothing phone (1) teaser right here:
From what we can tell, it hints at the placement of hardware components like the camera and the wireless charging coil, which we hope will support Apple’s MagSafe tech in the name of an open ecosystem that Nothing wants to build to rival Apple’s closed garden. On stage at the event, Carl Pei asserted that his company, Nothing, is building an open ecosystem to challenge Apple and its closed ecosystem as opposed to its other Android peers.
