Nothing Phone (1) Expected to Launch in 2022; Power Bank Coming Soon
Oct. 16, 2021Merely days after Nothing announced its$50 million round of funding and partnership with Qualcomm, a newreportfrom91Mobilesreveals some early details about Nothing’s next product. According to the report, Nothing is working behind the scenes tolaunch a smartphone sometime next yearand a power bank by the end of the year.
Nothing Phone and Power Bank Tipped
If Nothing is planning to stick to the naming conventions of its earbuds, we could expect the company’s first phone to be called something along the lines of Nothing Phone (1). Or, it could be Nothing Ph(1), right?
Another speculation about Nothing’s first phone is with respect to its design. Just like Nothing ear (1),a transparent design is likelyto be the highlight of the device. If that’s something Nothing is planning to implement, it will be interesting to see if it will merely be a sticker like what we saw inRed Magic 6 Pro Transparent Editionor a truly transparent one.
Moreover, we could expect Nothing to put thetrademarks it acquired from Essentialto good use. Does that mean Nothing will launch devices with crazy form-factors like theEssential Phone 2? That’s something we will have to wait and find out. As of now, we don’t have the exact details about Nothing’s first phone.
The report further hints that Nothing is working on a power bank. Dubbed Nothing Power (1), the power bank may launch before the Nothing Phone. The power bank is said to be unveiled in the coming weeks or before the end of the year.
