Phone (1) London event expectations

I’m on the train right now, heading to London for the first time since before Covid and it got me thinking about the recently announced Phone (1) launch even...

It is exciting that we are finding ways to navigate through this pandemic and get back to a place of normalcy.

I’ve missed in person events. They are so much fun! The best part is meeting up with your friends that you’ve made in the forums and realizing that these friendships and relationships are real, and not just something you made up typing on your computer or your phone lol.

I’d like to see pictures of all the community members hanging out, having fun, and of course using the phone lol. Since I’m in the US and can’t make the event, I’d love for as many people as possible to share their experiences on social media so I can feel like I’m there with you all!

I’ll give it a try when I have this long-awaited object in my hands and can finally play with the keyboard, take pictures, play, tweet etc…

Sib64 those sound like cool events you attended! I definitely have high hopes for the Nothing event.

Yeah I definitely agree with you there, getting the chance to meet up with people face to face that you’ve been talking with for months or even years online is a super fun experience. As I said I hope some of us get the opportunity to do so at this event!

Man! I wish I could attend a Nothing Live event sometime soon here in India. Can’t wait to the picture of the London launch event 😁.

I attended a OnePlus event at the launch of 7T it was just a hands-on experience event at their CP store here in Delhi had a pretty good time there talking with fellow geeks.

adbo Great thread! Super excited about the event and as you’ve all mentioned: fingers crossed some of us can be there in person! 🤞

The last device launch I attended was for the OnePlus 7 Series, in London. I loved it, lots of great merch, a few tech influencers were there and getting hands-on time with a new device … perfection!

I’m sure Nothing has some exciting ideas about how to make a phone launch unique; they’re clearly very good at challenging convention!

To know that we are all watching together, around the world, at the same time, will be a special feeling - I’m sure we’ll have an event chat on the Discord nearer the time, so we can react together too!

Can’t wait 🚀

adbo Ya, the experience of attending a physical event is totally another level. Hope they will plan a similar event in India in future.

Last I attended OnePlus 7T and first OnePlus TV launch in Delhi, India. It was massive and that community feel was special. Experiencing live stage event and then real life experience of device post the launch is always great.

Your post Adam made me dig pics of that 7T event:

Btw for the unaware, that’s Carl on stage 😛

arpan2308 That’s great! I bet the atmosphere was amazing and I love the goodies you picked up too. I’ve never been able to attend a tech event as they’re always somewhere too far for me like London. But I might be able to make an exception for Nothing 😁

Looks like something else is planned for this week too! Perhaps this will shape some part of the London event next month.

arpan2308 very true, offline events were fun. Had attended many oneplus events and also the excitement of getting freebies was a different feeling.

Got these oneplus branded glasses from one of the event

adbo they will most probably reveal the back design fully, as sometime ago they teased the right side of the phone

I love attending events in person! I hope Nothing eventually can do an event in the US or hold a contest for some of us to fly over to the UK 😆 The OnePlus 6T event is the last event I’ve gotten to go to in person. I was there on behalf of OnePlus helping set up the phone displays and to show attendees the phones and answer questions. OnePlus also treated us to a fun ride on a OnePlus boat to go see the Statue of Liberty 😃

harsh Branded? Or rebranded?😂

Rob ⚡️

Just had a wild thought…will the London event involve parrots? 😂 I hope so! 🦜

I hope you will be able to make a video about the event for those who can’t make it…🦜🦜🦜

I’m still angry that I can’t be there 🤬🤬

What do you think will be the “biggest surprise”?

I think they will launch 2 colors for the phone, white and black. Both with 2 specs for RAM/ROM.
