If you’ve kept up with Nothing‘s videos on their official YouTube channel, you’d know that Carl Pei isn’t exactly enthusiastic about making a foldable phone. But a fresh concept render has offered us a glimpse of what a Nothing Fold (1) might look like.
Nothing Foldable Envisioned with New Glyph Lighting & Hinge Display
Sarang Sheth, an industrial designer, created the latest concept renders. Some of his other work usually revolves around tech products such as Apple products like MacBooks with some changes in designs. But now, Sheth has created a foldable phone from Nothing, showcasing the unique spin the London based brand could bring to the foldable phone segment.
Right off the bat, we can see that the Nothing foldable phone is retaining its Glyph LED lighting on the back. However, this design now extends to the hinge as well. While companies put a lot of effort into improving the hinge mechanisms, these don’t add to the appeal of the design of a foldable phone. “Nothing Fold (1)” in this concept can be seen with a Glyph Light bar. In another render, there is even a slim display added to this hinge. The former seems more realistic and practical, while the latter is quite similar to the edge display from old Samsung flagships.
Sarang took things a step further and even mentioned the cutting edge specifications of the Nothing Phone (1). This foldable phone includes the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 SoC, which is paired with 16GB of RAM. The front has 32MP selfie shooter, while a large 5,500mAh battery pack powers this device. The fast charging rate is unclear, but the Fold (1) was conceptualized with support for 15W Qi2 wireless charging. The designer created this foldable phone with a £799 price tag, which is roughly around $1,018. This makes it quite affordable as well as the least realistic part of this concept.
