NOTHING. Building on the success of its first product, Nothing has unveiled some information on its first smartphone, the Phone(1) to come this summer. The firm intends to compete with the giant Apple, in particular on the notion of ecosystem and the relationship between technology and users.
After a small conference of about twenty minutes, Nothing unveiled the first glimpses of its first smartphone: the Phone(1). If the latter is still surrounded by many mysteries, Nothing has nevertheless given several information about the operating system and ambitions to come with this first phone. Discover all the information relating to the Phone(1) while waiting for its official reveal this summer.
What are the characteristics of the Phone(1) from Nothing?
The first official keynote from Nothing called “The Truth” was an opportunity for the company to unveil its next product: the Phone(1). At the center of many rumors and leaks on the net for several months, the Phone(1) is particularly awaited by many Internet users as the firm’s promises point to a “mini revolution” in the world of smartphones. If the conference “The Truth” will not have directly shown the design of the Phone(1), it has nevertheless unveiled some basics from a very enigmatic logo.
Without giving further details, the Phone(1) should have a latest generation Snapdragon processor. The current most powerful chip from Qualcomm is the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. But the latter could well be replaced soon by an even more advanced processor in terms of performance.
Nothing’s Phone(1) will run on Android. No surprises so far, but Carl Pei, founder of the firm, also revealed that thee Phone(1) will have an overlay called “Nothing OS”. This in-house operating system is defined as open and homogeneous in order to seamlessly connect and integrate devices from other brands with ease. Nothing’s CEO cited Tesla cars and AirPods Pro headphones, among others. Nothing is therefore a serious competitor to Apple, known in particular for its powerful ecosystem capable of connecting its various products with disconcerting ease.
Nothing also claimed that its operating system for the Phone(1) will have 40% fewer pre-installed applications. This software, commonly called “bloatware”, is often little desired by consumers and more the result of partnerships made between the manufacturers and developers of the said applications.
What is the release date for Nothing’s Phone(1)?
If many Internet users were waiting for a release date for the Phone(1) during the last conference of the firm, it will still be necessary to wait a little. Nothing intends to continue to build enthusiasm around its brand and its first major product. For now, Nothing’s Phone(1) is scheduled for release in summer 2022 without further details.
At what price will the Phone(1) of Nothing be marketed?
At present, there is no official information on the sale price of the Phone(1). We will therefore have to wait a little longer to see if the Phone(1) is a top-of-the-range product, or if it poses as a real “flagship killer”, namely a product more accessible than the competition while offering performance equivalent. Carl Pei being the former One Plus co-founder, in particular thought at the base to be an aggressive competitor on the market of high-end smartphones, the Phone(1) could well surprise by its price.
What is Nothing?
If the name of Nothing means nothing to you, it may be normal. The company of Carl Pei (former founder of One Plus) is quite young, and has to its credit only one product launched in 2021: Ear headphones(1). Although it is a small success, the firm would like to point out that it is not a company specializing in audio products only.
