Nothing CEO, Carl Pei Statement
The company doesn’t have any plan to launch the foldable phone. Here’s what he said,
“Not anytime soon. I don’t think consumers walk around saying, ‘Hey, I wish my phone could fold.’ I think it’s an innovation that the manufacturers are pushing on to the consumer,” the Nothing CEO was quoted as saying. It is good that some brands are building it. However, he mentioned, “If you look at how the foldable are evolving, they are all the same again.”
The CEO’s thoughts on foldable smartphones likely confirmed that we may see a new design of foldable phones.
