- Nothing founder Carl Pei has claimed that foldable phones aren’t enough to make Android beat iOS.
- He also acknowledged that Nothing’s resources were a factor in the decision not to offer foldables yet.
Nothing recently launched the Phone 2, and it looks like a very capable upper mid-range smartphone. However, company founder Carl Pei made some very questionable remarks at the time about foldable phones, claiming that they were a “forced innovation” that manufacturers were “pushing” onto consumers.
We were very skeptical of these claims, feeling that Pei was simply criticizing foldable phones because the company didn’t have any to offer. Now, Pei has expanded on his opinion of foldable phones in an interview with The Verge.
