If we tell you that the creator of the Nothing Phone (1) project is Carl Pei, it is relatively likely that you will remain as you were, since he is not as much a media figure as other names, much more common in the conversation about technology. However, things will change quite a bit if I tell you that was one of the creators of OnePlusa brand that revolutionized the market with its first terminals, and that even today continues to offer excellent devices, although it is true that its prices are quite far from those of the brand’s first devices.
Aware of this and dissatisfied for this reason, Pei decided to leave OnePlus and, as usually happens with this type of person, decided to launch a new project, with which he affirms that he once again intends to revolutionize the smartphone market. For that end, has been sharing details (just details, there’s still a lot we don’t know about the device) about the Nothing Phone for some time now (1). A device that will be the second of the brand, Nothing, the first is the Nothing Ear headphones (1) that we were already able to test at the end of last year and that left us with a very good taste in our mouths.
If we take these headphones as a business card of the future Nothing Phone (1), there is no doubt that we can have good prospects in this regard, and Pei’s resume serves to add a point in this regard. Now, his approach is ambitious enough for us to be cautious, because from his statements we can understand that he is aiming for the top, and from the leaks we can expect a knockdown price. And combining both seems very, very complicated. Even more so if we take into account that the proposal is for hardware and software.
And it is that Nothing Phone (1) will feature NothingOS, its own operating system (which we can actually imagine will be Android with a layer of customization on top). It doesn’t seem likely that it would have opted for AOSP as a base instead, and thus dispensed with Google services, but even in these terms, we are talking about a good extra workload for a still very young company and, we can imagine , not especially big.
And as for the device itself, Pei says that the Nothing (1) will come to revolutionize the Android smartphone market, with the aim of offering a response from the Android ecosystem to the almighty iPhone. Do you remember that a moment ago I said that I was aiming high? Well, this is what I was referring to.
Be that as it may, great expectations have already been generated in part of the Android community, which hopes that the Nothing Phone (1) will be something as revolutionary as OnePlus was at the time. And the good news for them is that, as we can read in Gizchina, we may not have to wait long to see it, it could be presented next Julythat is, at most in just two months.
In that case, rumors and new leaks can be expected in the coming weeks In this regard, although it is true that until now the company has been able to maintain a lot of discretion with respect to the Nothing Phone (1), so we should not rule out the possibility of reaching that moment without knowing practically anything about the smartphone.
