Hello Nothing team,
Hello Carl Pei,
I’m writing this not as a spec-obsessed tech enthusiast, but as a real everyday user who genuinely struggles with big phones.
I hate big phones. Not dislike — hate.
Over the last few years, my journey has been painful and confusing:
I used Unihertz Jelly Star for almost a year
Then shifted to a Moto — practical, but too big and uncomfortable
I came back to Jelly Star again for the last couple of months
And yes… I made the biggest mistake of my phone life:
👉 I sold my iPhone 12 mini after barely 2 weeks
I regret that decision every single day.
The problem is this:
Big phones are tiring, awkward, and not one-hand friendly
Jelly Star is amazing, but a little too compact for daily life
The iPhone 12 mini was the perfect balance — and now it’s gone
There is a huge silent group of users like me:
People with normal-sized hands
People who want true one-hand usability
People who don’t want a “small toy” or a “giant slab”
People who just want a sane, thoughtfully designed compact phone
Nothing feels like the only brand today that could understand this emotionally — not just statistically.
A compact Nothing / CMF phone (5.4 inch max, narrow body, flat sides, clean design) wouldn’t be a niche experiment.
It would be a statement.
Please don’t let compact phones disappear quietly.
Some of us are literally begging for one.
If Nothing builds it, I promise — we will show up.
With hope,
A tired big-phone hater who just wants a phone that fits his hand 🤍
