- Nothing is reportedly preparing to launch a smartphone in early 2022.
- This would likely be powered by a Snapdragon chipset based on the firm’s new partnership with Qualcomm.
OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei formed a startup called Nothing in late 2020, eventually dropping its first product in the form of true wireless earbuds earlier this year. The company also acquired Essential’s branding, suggesting that a phone could be in the works.
Now, frequent tipster Mukul Sharma and 91mobiles have reported that Nothing will indeed launch a smartphone in early 2022. The duo didn’t dish out any more details regarding the apparent phone, but Nothing’s previous announcements may have given us a few clues to go on.
