Nothing is one of the latest arrivals on the smartphone market. The brand created by Carl Pei, the co-founder of OnePlus, also presented its first device, the Phone (1), during a conference on March 23, 2022. Well, it should be noted, however, that we had seen better as a conference, the fault of a relatively empty content.

Indeed, and for reasons still unknown, the young manufacturer has been careful not to show the smartphone and or to discuss its technical characteristics in detail. Add to this the multiple technical problems that occur before the stream, shifting the start of the online presentation by several tens of minutes. Nevertheless, the CEO Carl Pei had however taken the opportunity to reveal the existence of NothingOSits in-house overlay, which notably incorporates the brand’s visual identity.
