Nothing Thinks Pink
Fans of Nothing, the tech brand, know that they’re rooted in creating pieces that make a statement. Case in point their new phone, which just released yesterday. With all of the specs you’d want like the world’s first 140x ultra zoom, a 3 camera system with Sony sensor, and an operating system with Essential AI tools, they’re also well aware of other, more aesthetic details namely the colorways. New to their product portfolio comes a pink hue, an optimistic shade that touches on art, music, fashion, and pop — all key parts of their overall vibe. “Pink is actually just desaturated red. When we put the tint inside the transparency, because of how the light interacts with the resin underneath you get this incredible sense of depth which makes our products look really lively,” says Lucy Birley, Colour Material Finish Design Lead at Nothing, of the choice.
