Nothing is widely expected to announce plans for their first smartphone at the event, which has been rumoured for a while. The company has not announced any official plans to enter the smartphone space, but CEO Carl Pei has teased the possibility in a series of tweets, cryptically saying that he was ‘back on Android’. The official Twitter accounts for Android, and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon chipsets, replied to the tweet.

The company has also announced a $70M Series B fundraise. The new funding will go towards scaling its product ecosystem and establishing its London Design Hub. The new investment brings the total raised by Nothing to $144M to date.

After Carl Pei left OnePlus to found Nothing, the company debuted with the Nothing ear(1) TWS earbuds which launched in 2021. The earbuds featured a transparent design, active noise cancellation, and wireless charging support.
