Nothing has been revealed before that the smartphone will carry a Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset and will run on an exclusive Nothing OS, which is made as a modified version of Android that “captures the best features” and distills it “only in the basics”. You will also find “custom” fonts, colors, designs and sounds. Little else is known at the moment about the product itself, but given Carl Pei’s genealogy as co-founder of OnePlus before leaving the tech company to create Nothing after its merger with Oppo, it is possible that the phone (1) will prove to be an attractive choice between a gradually homogenizing industry. For those interested, Nothing will reveal its phone number (1) on July 12 at 4:00 p.m. BST (11:00 a.m. EDT). You can follow the announcement on the company website. Elsewhere in technology, new legislation in Europe will force Apple to build iPhones with USB-C ports by 2024.
