This might be your first blurry look at the Nothing phone
As rumors of Carl Pei’s Nothing phone continue to swirl and build ahead of apossible unveiling this month, wemayhave just caught our first glimpse of the device, though it doesn’t tell us much about it. Leaker Evan Blass has tweeted a photo of Nothing founder Carl Pei and Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon fondling an unfamiliar device, splattered with the sort of stickers you sometimes see on engineering verification tests ahead of release.
The photo — possibly taken at MWC — isn’t as sharp as it could be, and the phone itself is shoved up in one corner, but it isn’t a model we immediately recognize. Given the context of who is holding it, our lack of recognition, and a few stickers on the back that would indicate a preproduction or engineering verification test device, there’s a possibility this is our very first blurry glimpse of the Nothing phone.
Closer, sharpened crops of the photo.
There aren’t enough details visible to come to any real judgments, but the phone does seem on the bigger side (that, or Pei has small hands). It’s tough to tell which details are noise or actually in the photo when looking closely, but a camera module seems just barely visible under his thumb, and there doesn’t appear to be a rear-mounted capacitive fingerprint sensor. The sides also look hard and squared off, which would match both Nothing’s industrial design for its earbuds and recent trends in smartphones from competitors, but that could just be blur and sharpening as well.
Qualcomm’s interest in Carl Pei’s phone is more than just academic; the company isa partner of Nothing’s future hardware endeavors, an indication that the upcoming phone may use a Qualcomm chipset.
We probably won’t have long to wait to hear more or confirm the few blurry details we’ve seen.Recent leaks(andNothing’s own teasing) indicate more information could land this month.
