I’m all for this, once folding technology has improved a lot more. Would be interesting to see a Glyph background on a folding device
Nothing Fold (1)

It would definitely be a good product to pursue for Nothing as there are not too many options out there for foldable. And Nothing could gain some market share fast with a foldable phone IMO.

There are literally a few foldable out there, and tech is already at a more than decent quality.
If we filter out how many are available in Europe or USA. There are literally 5 foldable phones for each market.
As Chinese brands are mostly sold only in Asia.
I was thinking of getting the Oppo Find N2, but it’s just too complicated to import it, and with all the fees, vat, customs and shipping I end up almost doubling the original price.

Completely agree @peterrafael, importing makes it less worthwhile, now seems like the time for Nothing to capitalize.
I’m all up for a Glyph interface on a foldable @Louis !
Unfortunately, for those wanting the ‘Nothing Fold’ it looks like we may be in a long wait. Nothing just dropped this:
Carl states it’ll be at least 2 years before we see one.
In 2 years I’m pretty sure Apple will also release its first foldable iPhone. As you know Apple is last when implementing new tech, as they always wait until it’s perfect. And foldable phones as Carl just said in that video are getting already very good, including software and hardware too.
The popularity of foldable phones is increasing and most companies are picking up on this trend. I know that foldable phones are quite expensive but imagine if nothing made their version. It would be amazing
Post what you think and if you would be interested in such a device.
Thanks
As an avid Galaxy Fold user, I’d sure love seeing Nothing’s take on a foldable phone. However I can fully understand they are skipping this technology for now:
It is expensive and we’ve already seen sort of a negative outrage with the pricing of the Phone (2), now imagine there’d be a Nothing Fold which costs twice as much. Next materials still don’t seem to be reliable enough, even though it seems Samsung made decent progress with their Fold 5, long term reliability keeps being my biggest concern with foldable devices.
ryanjesmith i don’t think that we will see Fold phone from Nothing in a few upcoming years.
vovan-v Exactly, the amount of Money required for the R & D for building a Fold Phone from scratch is a Huge Task to take. Instead the same money could be used for the development of UI and Camera.
Personally I don’t prefer foldable as it is a worse Phone and even worse tablet better buy a great phone and tablet separately for the same price.
Rajesh_Kannan i agree with you, fold phones not comfortable to use and for now they weight a lot.

Did any of you notice the slit line separating the top and bottom parts of the Phone (3a)? Could that separation be a hint toward foldable phone designs? If so, kudos to them! Our NOTHING has already started paving the way for future innovations.
This might not be the actual reason behind it, but if it is—imagine a Nothing Fold (1). Sounds awesome to me!
