Nothing (company)

Nothing is a London-based consumer technology company founded in 2020 by Carl Pei, previously a co-founder of OnePlus. The company aims to create technology products that are simple to use, aesthetically pleasing, and seamlessly integrated into people's lives. Nothing's core philosophy revolves around removing unnecessary complexities and focusing on essential features.

The company gained initial traction through its crowdfunding rounds and subsequent launch of its first product, the Ear (1) wireless earbuds. These earbuds featured a distinctive transparent design, highlighting the internal components and reflecting Nothing's design-centric approach. Since then, Nothing has expanded its product line to include smartphones, such as the Phone (1) and Phone (2), as well as other audio products.

Nothing differentiates itself through its industrial design, often employing transparent materials and a minimalist aesthetic. The company also develops its own operating system, Nothing OS, designed to provide a clean and bloat-free Android experience.

Nothing is backed by prominent investors and has received significant media attention for its disruptive approach to the consumer electronics market. The company continues to develop new products and expand its global reach.
