Hey Nothing peeps! Appreciate you all having me here 🙂 I’m Sam and I’m from the UK working in the Nothing Content Team.

Before joining, I used to work for Fnatic as their Videographer & Editor and prior to that I was here there and everywhere making branded video content.

I’m so hyped by the Nothing journey and hearing about their future plans for the tech space. As a bit of a tech fan & nerd it just all sounded super cool and refreshing. I’ve been inspired by everyone I’ve met so far working here and I feel so lucky to be part of the team. 

Okay so my most memorable piece of tech has to be the Oculus Quest 2. I’ve not experienced tech in a long time that’s made me feel like a kid again, but VR just adds a whole other level to the games that I already love. Something about using lightsabers to hit flying boxes in time to music just does it for me y’know?

    Hi there and welcome to our fam, Sam! 🍾

    Ha! Just the team am looking forward to join, 🤩.

      SamC Welcome to the community! It’s always lovely to hear from the people that are bringing Nothing to life!

      Very cool! I think the OnePlus partnership with Fnatic exposed many of us to the brand for the first time - what was the best project you worked on there?

      The Quest 2 is great! I picked one up for my dad last Christmas, and it’s become his go-to method for entertaining guests 😆 I love setting up a boundary before playing, and seeing the B&W camera feed of the outside world - it makes you feel like The Terminator!

      Thanks for the reminder that this masterpiece exists! I will have to re-watch this weekend 😁

              SamC Hey Sam, welcome to the Community side of Nothing. Always nice to hear from the great team behind the scenes. Hopefully, we’ll see you around a bit more, would be great to see some of your videography too.

              SamC Okay so my most memorable piece of tech has to be the Oculus Quest 2

              Believe it or not, I’ve still yet to experience VR on this level. The Oculus always grabbed my attention from the early inception days of the device. I could just imagine the state of my living room after playing an FPS on one of these 😆

                  Hey guys, name is Shayantan and I am from Mumbai, India. I came up with the username “Starcommander” in 2014. Here is the story behind this name:

                  Back when I was in school, my geography teacher once told me that I was blessed with a star birthday. Don’t know what it means but it felt special . In my childhood, I was addicted to commando games like “return to the castle of Wolfestein”. These two events were the main inspiration behind my username. In 2014, I created a Google play profile with the username “Starcommander”. Little did I know, after 7 years, more than half of my friends would know me as Starcommander 😛.

                  On personal front, I am an iOS developer and have extreme interest in DIY and photography.

                  I knew about nothing from the day it was announced. Like many other folks, I was an active member of another community and I am very excited to be a part of nothing community. I can see a lot of known faces here. Looking forward to the future 🥂

                  Writing this when I am half asleep. Forgive me for any mistakes

                    Howdy everyone! SO excited to be here. Let’s do this.

                    1. Whereabouts in the world are you? - I am currently in Chicago, IL. Well, technically a little suburb from Chicago but Chicago is “cooler” and more recognizable than Skokie lol

                    2. Let us know why you’re interested in Nothing! - Who doesn’t love being part of a community? I’ve been interested ever since I saw the ear (1). But I would love to see what this nothing ecosystem turns into. I want to be part of that, grow with it.

                    3. Name a piece of technology that dropped your jaw. - The HTC One (M7). I owned a few Android devices prior to this but this one blew me away. It was fast, reliable and ALL METAL 🤘 ! But the speakers, my God did I love them. Loud but crisp. Loved showing it off.

                    4. What’s your favourite movie quote, or lyric from a song? - If you know me, I’m a huge Metallica fan. No Leaf Clover- "Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel
                      Was just a freight train coming your way"

                    5. Post a picture of your spirit gadget. It’s like a spirit animal, but with batteries. - Right now it’s my Pixel 6 Pro.

                      Eek! Not sure why it posted the same picture twice.

                        JayAnyWay Great introduction - Welcome! That Pixel skin is awesome, is it a DBrand one? Looking forward to seeing you around our threads! 🙏

                            JayAnyWay Welcome and must say I’m LOVING your Pixel skin 👏.

                            jdinger03 Welcome to the community. I’d love to know how a New Zealander finds themselves living in Germany, not the combination I’d ever guess 😊 I also had a few Nexus devices, thought they were so unique at the time.
