TL; DR
- Don’t miss the design choices of current Android phones, including April Fool’s Day jokes.
- It promises that the Nothing Phone 1 will be “different from anything else.”
During the launch of OnePlus 10 Pro yesterday, Carl Pei’s Nothing teased a smartphone that was scheduled for April 1. Sure, it was an April Fool’s prank, and thank God we didn’t fall for it.
However, nothing was taken on Twitter to release a generic smartphone with an edge-to-edge display and a simple design. It’s ridiculed for its monotonous smartphone design, which has been described as “completely unorthodox” and “the same as everything else.”
Just say hello to another (1).
You’ve seen a phone like this before.
Experience monotony from edge to edge. It’s inspiring. Absolutely absurd. And just like everything else.
The company is certainly raising expectations for its own upcoming smartphone – the Nothing Phone 1 – which will launch later this summer. It is possible that nothing will stick to the same design language as its true wireless earbuds, which have a transparent shell.
However, if you click on the link to Nothing’s April Fools’ Tweet, you’ll be taken to its website with the Buy Now button. Taping it will take you to another page where the company says it won’t follow everyone else (other Android OEMs). “It’s not who we are,” boasts nothing.
