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

    SamC I used to work for Fnatic as their Videographer & Editor

    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?

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

    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!

    SamC “Dodge, duck, dip, dive and dodge”

    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.

                                Hey Guys! I am Muzammil from Lahore, Pakistan. I am 19 years old tech enthusiast.

                                I am a huge fan of Carl since his journey with the OnePlus. Now, if he has introduced Nothing then there must be some super plans ahead that attracted my attention towards Nothing.

                                My device Mi 10 Youth which I am currently using shocked me. It is a mid-range smartphone that helps me in everyday life.

                                My favorite lyric is from the song Believer by Imagine Dragons " Pain!
                                You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
                                Pain!
                                You break me down, you build me up, believer, believer"

                                Hope I will be of benefit to Nothing

                                Bonjour à tous ! Surprisingly, it seems like I am the first french man to introduce myself to the community, so I would like to send everyone greetings from all of us in France 😃. Currently I’m based in Lyon where I just moved in from Lisbon in Portugal, and I study IT.

                                I originally followed the birth of Nothing as Carl Pei left OnePlus, and was thrilled to discover what he would accomplish without the restrictions and strings pulled by its previous company. I hoped nothing’s products could differentiate themselves from other companies which honestly all kind of do the same nowadays, and while the ears 1 were a beautiful and very fonctional product (bought them for my sister and my mother ), it didn’t quite change something about how we use or behave with our tech products. I hope in the future, Nothing achieves to build products that both are coherent and work together. I see the community as a tool for Nothing to both take ideas and have an early feedback on in-house ideas, so that we can create hand in hand great products.

                                The piece of technology I loved so much, and the first one I owned, must be my nintendo DS first gen, which was my entry into the tech world and a truly awesome piece of tech. Nowadays though, my airpods pro are the item I could not leave without, I was amazed by the whole experience they can provide (sorry, I know ear 1’s are competitors !)

                                Two quotes : a spiritual one

                                courage is the ability to go from one defeat to another without losing enthusiasm"- Churchill

                                , and a more practical one, quite funny if you ask me :

                                “buy nice or buy twice” which I heard first on MKBHD’s channel.

                                I don’t actually have one, but my spiritual gadget would be an electric scooter or bike, because I am speed (hope you get that one) and I love going out and rolling while always trying to be faster than the bigger players (the cars)

                                I hope we will do great things together, see you soon 😁

                                Great to meet everyone and so happy to be here! Just some quick info about me below.

                                1. I reside in the pacific northwest, USA.

                                2. I’m interested in Nothing because of the simplicity, affordability, functionality and beauty of the Ear (1). I’m excited for the future of the company and products as it aligns closely with my own tech mantras.

                                3. the Game Boy Pocket made my jaw drop as a kid - I vividly remember getting this for Christmas along with Mega Man. It would ignite my never ending passion for gaming.

                                4. Favorite quote of recent memory is “I’m not comfortable with comfort. I’m only comfortable when I’m in a place where I’m constantly learning and growing” - Ye (fka Kanye West)


                                WELCOME WELCOME everyone! Great introductions!
                                @SamC Nice to see you here. Lot of Fnatics joining the Nothing team eh?

                                Hello again to @Starcommander @JayAnyWay @jdinger03 @muzammil_hussain @Stachmou @swish! Excited to have you on board!

                                personal note: I love dbrand too! Even skinned my laptop recently to give it the teardown look, that’s like 4-5 devices skinned now! gosh, they take too much of my money! 😰

                                Hello everyone, I am Nipun and i am from Kerala, India.

                                I came to know about Nothing from the tweets of Carl and was so excited for the reveal of his new venture. The vison of Nothing on revolutionising the tech industry and blending the tech into our daily life was the idea that made me interested towards the brand

                                The piece of tech that first made me go wow was the Iphone 1. It was a masterpiece that redefined the concept of smartphones and it was a pleasure using the device till the battery finally gave up.

                                My favourite lyrics are from the song Let it Go from Frozen

                                "It’s funny how some distance makes everything seem small

                                And the fears that once controlled me can’t get to me at all

                                It’s time to see what I can do

                                To test the limits and break through

                                No right, no wrong, no rules for me

                                I’m free"

                                  TheINZPIRED Welcome to the Community! Never did I ever think I’d find someone that would quote Frozen lyrics, but reading them out loud they are actually pretty powerful, nice choice 👍️

                                    Hey there, Anuj from India.

                                    Was a fan of the pure and minimalist experience that OnePlus brought with its introduction, with simple design and minimalist software (Cyanogen and then oxygen). That was a time when likes of Pete and Carl showed that even the best (Vanilla android experience which was limited to the Google Nexus’s and a handful of devices) can be improved even further without defying its sanity. But I believe that doesn’t seem to be the way forward.

                                    So when Carl introduced us to Nothing, there was a sense of happiness (as a tech and gadget enthusiast) that we may be able to get somethings similar that we so loved and enjoyed. And this is what defines my hopes for and from NOTHING.

                                    As for the piece of tech, as shared earlier also, its surely was my iPod Classic. That was my first gadget I bought post being professional employed. The spin wheel experience at that time was something like “never experienced before” and just that changed the way and feel of listening to your music.

                                    As for the favorite movie quote, or lyric from a song, its for sure would be

                                    "And I ain’t gonna be just a face in the crowd
                                    You’re gonna hear my voice when I shout it out loud

                                    It’s my life
                                    It’s now or never
                                    I ain’t gonna live forever
                                    I just wanna live while I’m alive"

                                    And here is a picture of my spirit gadget (Credit: Google as I would need to go on a search heist to get a pic of my actual Spirit Gadget)
