What is nothing? Is it a brand? Or is it a phone? Is it real? How the nothing become something.
In this modern tech world where almost every tech brand and company, "not gonna lie, look the same". One brand decided to think outside of the metaphorical box and that brand is "Nothing" sounds a bit like a joke but no it "Nothing". To spell it out, that's the name of the company/Brand, that makes devices like smartphones and earphones. The brand has made something quite interesting, to say the least in the tech world right now. The name aside, the nothing quickly went from "What's that ?" to " I want one !" in just a few short years, however there is some mixed reviews on the devices, but every brand has it's pros and cons.
So, what is Nothing ?
A tech company founded in 2020 but officially launched in January 2021 by Carl Pei, the co-founder of OnePlus. Nothing set out to break the mold of today’s tech industry. While most brands focus on spec sheets and marketing jargon, Nothing is more focused on making tech fun through it's design. Based in London, the brand collaborated with Teenage engineers to give their products that signature look.
The Nothing evolution
Their very first product, the Ear (1) ear buds, launched in 2021. But the real interest picked up when they introduced the Nothing Phone (1). Fast forward to today, the nothing phone 3 will be launched. Their first real flagship phone, but is it good enough is the real question ? Pre-order for the device started on July 4 2025 with general availability on July 15 2025.
