Nothing has confirmed a few things about its upcoming smartphones already. The British company has said that the phone will feature a transparent design just like its first pair of wireless earbuds, Nothing Ear 1. These earbuds were also the company’s first-ever product.

The phone will have a see-through rear panel, letting you peek into the phone’s internal components from the back.

The company also teased details of its Nothing OS launcher which will run on top of Android 11. The launcher was released in beta last month for public testing. Here is what it looks like.

There is not much known about the phone’s specifications, but Nothing has confirmed that we will get a Snapdragon processor. Given the presence of a wireless charging coil, the phone is likely an upper mid-range or a flagship device.

Now that the launch date has been announced, we expect the teaser campaign to start soon.
