Who are we?
Here at Nothing, we're building a world where tech is fun again. Remember a time where every new product made you excited? We're bringing that back.
To get there we're gathering the creative and the curious. Those that are passionate enough to question the old and embrace the new. In return, you'll be part of a movement. Contributing to a global ecosystem of products that bring joy to people's lives.
In four years, we’ve sold over 5 million products worldwide including Phone (1), which was listed on Time Magazine's Best Inventions of 2022 for Innovative Smartphone Design. In 2024, we launched our third and fourth smartphones, as well as a new audio lineup, including our debut in Open Sound Technology: Ear (open).
Alongside our core product range, we also have CMF by Nothing. A sub-brand dedicated to making great design more accessible without compromising on quality and innovation.
Everyday at Nothing we share an optimism that we’re making a difference to the world. If that sounds like something you'd like to be part of, read on...
