Commenting on the launch, Carl Pei, CEO of Nothing, said:
Tech has become boring; every phone looks the same, feels the same, does the same. That’s why we took our time. After two years of focused development, Phone (3) is our answer: a flagship built to make tech feel personal again. To spark creativity, reflect identity, and give people more control over how they connect and create. At Nothing, we don’t follow trends, we build with intention, and we build with our community.
