The purported Nothing phone has popped up on the internet in the form of a leaked live image ahead of its rumored April unveiling. If rumors making the rounds online are anything to go by, the consumer technology brand is gearing up for an imminent debut of its maiden mobile phone. Furthermore, the word on the street is that the Nothing phone will go official in April 2022. In the meantime, the brand founded by ex co-founder of OnePlus, Carl Pei, is still riding high on the success of the Nothing Ear 1.
To recall, the company launched the
Nothing ear (1) Black Edition in India, accepting crypto as payments in December
2021. The TWS earbuds have garnered skyrocketing popularity among users due to
aggressive pricing, unique design, and superior performance. Now, Nothing is
prepping to take the wraps off its second product, a smartphone. Last month,
Carl Pei teased took to Twitter to tease the first-ever Nothing smartphone,
stating that “Android 12 is nice.” Regrettably, he did not divulge any other
details in his tweet.
Now, the top executive has been spotted
holding what could be the purported Nothing phone in his hands. The alleged
Nothing phone image has been shared by noted leaker Evan Blass (@evleaks).
Furthermore, it looks like the photo was captured at the recently concluded MWC
2022 show. In the image, Pei is showing off the phone. Also, this is probably
the same image TechCrunch claims to have seen earlier this month.
However, the alleged Nothing phone isn’t
clearly visible in the image. Nevertheless, we can still see the black-tinted
rear panel that houses a circular camera module. This rear camera setup seems
to feature an LED flash as well. Moreover, considering that there are stickers
on the rear panel, it is likely to be a prototype model. Also, the device seems
to follow in the footsteps of newfangled handsets and adopt a boxy design. This
is a huge sign that Nothing is actually working on its first-ever mobile phone.
