Nothing is a British consumer electronics company founded in 2020 by Carl Pei, co-founder of OnePlus. Headquartered in London, it focuses on developing design-centric smartphones, audio products, and software, positioning itself as an innovative challenger brand in the consumer tech space[1]. The company debuted with the *Ear (1)* wireless earbuds in 2021, followed by its first smartphone, the *Phone (1)*, in 2022, and has since launched subsequent models including *Phone (2)*, *Phone (3)*, *Ear (2)*, and *Ear (3)*, alongside a budget sub-brand called CMF, which was spun off into a separate entity in India in 2025[1]. Nothing’s smartphones run on Nothing OS, a customized Android version, noted for its distinctive transparent design and the *Glyph Interface*, an innovative LED lighting system on the phone’s back that enhances user interaction. The company distributes products globally across Europe, India, and North America[1]. Since its inception, Nothing has rapidly grown, shipping over 5 million units by 2025 and crossing $1 billion in total sales, with a 150% revenue growth in 2024. It employs around 800 to 900 people and has attracted significant venture capital investment, including a $200 million Series C round led by Tiger Global that valued the company at $1.3 billion[2][3][5]. This funding supports Nothing’s ambition to build an AI-native platform that integrates hardware and software into a cohesive intelligent system, aiming to launch AI-first devices starting in 2026[2][5].
