TL;DR
- Nothing turned an influencer idea into a full-blown phone concept, complete with a 3D model and real-world cost estimates.
- The design features a unique trifold form with three separate displays, allowing a streamer to view chat, gameplay, and metrics simultaneously.
- While the bill of materials is ~$1,838, the total R&D to bring it to life is estimated at a staggering $55 million.
Imagine if a phone company really paid attention to its wildest customer ideas. That’s exactly what Nothing did. In a recent video, it took a suggestion from popular streamer IShowSpeed (like it recently did with YouTuber MrWhoseTheBoss) and turned it into a full phone concept, complete with a 3D model and a surprisingly high estimated price.
The video presents the project as a fun challenge rather than a product launch. And while you can’t buy this phone, the engineering behind it offers an interesting glimpse of what highly specialized smartphones could be like in the future.
