As you might expect from company founder and CEO Carl Pei, Nothing is nothing like your average mobile device manufacturer. So far the company has released three products to its name including the Nothing ear (1) true wireless earbuds, the Nothing Phone (1), and the Nothing Ear (stick) which is a pair of true wireless earbuds housed in a cylinder-shaped carrying case.
Two members of Nothing’s design team weigh in on concepts created by the Nothing community
The first concept in the video is an over-ear headphone with an LED array that can alert the people around the user whether they can talk to the person wearing the headphones or if that person is listening to music. “That’s quite a good idea,” says one of the design team members.
Another concept sent to Nothing was for a Nothing Watch (1). This makes sense if the company has designs on building the Nothing ecosystem. This concept showed a 45mm size, a GPS feature, and a ceramic case. And like the Nothing Phone (1), the watch concept had a transparent back; the watch concept also had a see-through case. The design team employees were intrigued by the two buttons placed on the right side of the timepiece.
The next concept device in the video was the Nothing Book (1) laptop. Note how the letters on the QWERTY keyboard use the Nothing dot font. Nothing says Nothing more than little things like that. The next submission displayed was a Nothing smart speaker with a see-through case. A concept Nothing wireless charger also appeared on the video and the glyph interface would be used to notify the user how close the battery on the phone (or earbuds carrying case) is to achieving a fully charged status.
What will Nothing release next?
A Nothing Phone (2) concept follows and while it is different, we would bet that it would not be the look of the next Nothing phone. Would you agree?
So what product will Nothing release next? A Nothing Phone (2) might seem to be the most likely device. The first handset from Nothing is not a flagship-tier phone although it hardly could be considered a budget model. While it has the Snapdragon 778G+ chipset under the hood, the 6.55-inch AMOLED display does feature a 120Hz refresh rate. Configuration options include 8GB of RAM and 128GB/256GB of storage, and a 12GB model with 256GB of storage.
What a Nothing Phone (2) spec sheet will include depends on where the company sees its handsets. Are they quirky flagship phones? Off-beat mid-rangers? Carl Pei’s vision for the Nothing Phone will decide.
