All about Carl Pei’s brainchild Nothing Phone 1

It’s been a year when smartphones have largely remained boring. There have been a few winners. Samsung has done brilliantly well with its folding phones. Apple moved to the next level with the Dynamic Island on its iPhone 14 Pro, showing how differently hardware and software can interact. Google gave us plenty to talk about when it comes to software driving a product. And there is one more phone — Nothing Phone 1. It’s funky, it’s a delight and it’s nothing like we have seen before.

Nothing is Carl Pei’s brainchild. Based out of London, Nothing is just two years old and it has already delivered a few great products — first it was Ear 1 wireless earbuds, then came the first smartphone called Phone 1 and also Ear Stick. Pei and his team are not looking at delivering 50 smartphones every year. It’s about putting across meaningful tech which simply works as soon as you take it out of the box — nothing complicated, yet everything is oh-so-cool.
