Nothing reportedly prioritizing AI devices like its leaked smartwatch over smartphones
For a company that built its foundation on smartphones that promised to go against the grain, Nothing is reportedly putting heavy emphasis on AI, as sources leak upcoming devices and suggest the company wants to allocate fewer resources to Android phones.
Nothing, a company known for its unique smartphones, appears to be shifting focus towards AI devices, according to leaked information. Sources suggest that the company wants to allocate fewer resources to Android phones, with Nothing CEO Carl Pei supporting the decision. This shift comes after the company closed several hubs and implemented layoffs or reorganizations.
Despite rumors of shutting down global operations, Nothing plans to continue producing AI-centered products. The company has several devices in the pipeline, including the Nothing Smartwatch, CMF Ear Clip Buds, Nothing Headphones (Gen 2), CMF Speakers, and another unidentified wearable. These new products will emphasize AI more than any of Nothing's previous offerings.
The company also recently launched an AI OS called "Essential" for 2027, though its future remains uncertain. The new audio products and the Nothing Smartwatch are expected to launch within the next couple of months.
