Carl Pei’s Nothing launched its first two products amid a sea of controversy and heated debates. Some felt that the Nothing Ear (1) buds fell one step short of delivering a truly unique design to the wireless earbuds market, while the Nothing Phone (1) has split camps on whether its Glyph gimmick was really worth the hype. Regardless of which side you’re on, it’s not hard to argue that Nothing is good at stirring up discussions that put it in the spotlight one way or another. The latest debate the company seems to have stirred up is regarding the first major update to the Nothing Phone (1), which its CEO and founder just confirmed won’t be arriving this year in its final form.
Nothing was born from a desire to turn the mobile industry on its head, or at least that’s how the official spiel goes. It set out espousing transparency and minimalism, both in terms of design as well as in business strategies.
