Hey Community!
Welcome to another edition of the Nothing Newsletter recapping June and the first week of July!
With the unveiling of Phone (3) and Headphone (1) , even more Pokémon codenames being teased, and the Community Edition Project for Phone (3a) now fully underway, we’re in for an exciting update.
Phone (3) and Headphone (1) - They’re Here!
In case you missed it, we hosted a big launch event in East London to reveal our latest products; bringing together community, media and friends of the Nothing brand, it was an awesome night. Before the celebrations began, we streamed a video so Carl could share details about our first true flagship and our first product in the over ear headphone segment with the rest of the world:
Our Community Board Observer @adbo also captured a video from the event which you can check out below! With DJ sets from Lexi London, Tiffany Calver, Interplanetary Criminal, a live set by AJ Tracey and sets from our very own Nothing DJs: Luke, Laura, Tom and Ryan, plus games and immersive experience zones, the night was one to remember!
Phone (3) and Headphone (1) pre-orders are now live in select regions on nothing.tech and Drops events are planned in a few locations with Bengaluru and London offering some exciting perks!

Co-Creation is Underway: Community Edition 2025
It’s been over a month since we revealed the winners of the Community Edition Project for 2025! Five winners are currently working with the Nothing Team to co-create the ultimate version of Phone (3a).
Emre, the winner of the hardware design stage, has been collaborating with the Industrial Design teams from both London and Shenzhen to perfect the design of his concept: Translucent Memories. The team ordered a dozen samples of varying shades and colours, from the textured back panel to different button colours to put together a customised design. The design is 95% locked, with one more round of samples to arrive before the CMF of this year’s Community Edition Phone (3a) is finalised!
We were also joined in London this month by Louis and Ambrogio, our accessory winners who, now that they have seen the (almost!) final hardware design, have redesigned their original dice design to compliment the hardware. We’re now in the process of getting samples made by our suppliers - so stay tuned for news!
Jad is also hard at work with the software team to nail down the Variable Watch Face design and create wallpapers for Phone (3a) Community Edition. And Sushruta, our marketing campaign winner, is adapting his campaign plan now that all the winners have been revealed.
We can’t wait to keep working with everybody over the summer to bring their ideas to life!
