Nothing is currently working on a second smartphone, and the latter could be released this year. In an interview, Carl Pei, the CEO of Nothing, gave some details about his next device.
In an interview with Inverse, Carl Pei spoke about one of Nothing’s current projects for 2023. After a very successful first smartphone Phone (1), since the latter has succeeded in breaking market codes in terms of design while being competitivethe manufacturer would now like to do it again with a second device.
The CEO of Nothing has therefore officially confirmed the existence of the Phone (2). The latter would not really be a direct successor to the current Phone (1), because according to Carl Pei, it will be a device ” more premium “. In addition to a new smartphone, new Ear 2 headphones are also expected soon, the design of which was leaked a few months ago.
What do we know about the Nothing Phone (2)?
In his interview, Carl Pei expressed renewed interest in competing in the US market with his upcoming second-generation Phone (2). ” We have decided to make the United States our number 1 priority in terms of markets said Pei. The CEO insists the company is now on “stronger footing” and can move on to the next phase of its business.
Nothing’s squad would now count about 400 people, double what it was in 2021. ” We had our hands tied building the team like we were building the products. Now that we have a stronger base, we can take a step forward “says Pei.
Regarding the Phone (2), the latter should this time be a high-end smartphone, rather than a mid-range as was the Phone (2). ” We are developing a higher-end smartphone than the Nothing Phone (1) and the software will be a priority for us he says. ” Our team has nearly 100 people on the software, and I’ve brought in many people I used to work with before in my previous life. “. What must be understood is the number of Nothing had to accommodate many people who had previously worked on OxygenOSwhich at the time was considered one of the best overlays on Android.
