As of now, the details surrounding the Nothing smartphone remain unknown. All we know is that Nothing’s upcoming smartphone will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor and will boot Android.
To those unaware, Nothing bought Essential smartphone company, which was founded by Andy Rubin. So, Essential’s trademarks, logos, etc. now belong to Carl Pei’s Nothing. Also, a few months back, Qualcomm had invested $50 million in Nothing to strengthen its tech ecosystem.
Apart from the smartphone, Carl Pel’s Nothing is also rumoured to launch a power bank – Nothing Power (1). Nothing had earlier said that it plans to create an array of smart and connected consumer technology products.
The company recently brought Adam Bates on board as the Design Director. To those unaware, Bates was earlier heading the Head of Design & Product Experience team at Dyson.
Though nothing much is known about Nothing’s upcoming handset, we can expect it to offer a good price to performance ratio and probably a different design language compared to the competition.
