Nothing has a true flagship phone due for release soon, but we don’t have a confirmed date. Carl Pei and company have been keeping things guarded closely. When it does drop, the Nothing Phone 3 will be missing the glyph interface that the British consumer electronics manufacturer has been possessive about in the past iterations. It will, however, have a triple camera array including a telephoto lens, a bigger battery, and for the first time, a price tag tipping past the $1,000 mark.
How that’s going to fair in Nothing’s favor is only for time to tell. But before that, here is a chance to gawk at a dream phone that a design studio has brought out in anticipation. And it could perhaps be one of the most durable, non-rugged phones of all, at least if it ever goes into production.
Designer: Tektura Studio
Nothing is known for its bold marketing antics. Just recently, the company released a video titled “We made MKBHD’s Dream Phone,“ in collaboration with a famous tech influencer, Marques Brownlee (MKBHD). The video is about MKBHD’s idea of a conceptual “dream phone,” which Nothing rolls out with a detailed cost breakdown of building such a smartphone.
In continuation, the Tektura Studio idealized another phone in the Dream Phone Series for Nothing. This time, conceptualizing what JerryRigEverything would want as a phone. For the unaware, Zach, better known as JerryRigEverything, has this video channel with over 9 million subscribers. He is known for his mesmerizing videos wherein he rips phones apart to review them inside and out. Most reviewers are restricted by companies from taking the review units apart, running durability tests on them, or breaking the phones. But Zach does it all, sometimes on review units generously sent from companies like Nothing and OnePlus, and sometimes by buying his own devices and opening them up to see their durability and repairability.
The animations of a Nothing Dream Phone Series x JerryRigEverything reveal a personalized device with functional features that the YouTuber values the most. The phone stays true to Nothing’s clean, futuristic aesthetic while being filled with hidden elements in the construction that put the repairability and durability of the phone in the top tier. The render images by Tektura Studio depict a raw, lab-like environment you can find in JRE’s videos, including a picture with his iconic scratch tool that he runs over the body of each device under his scanner.
The detailed imagery of the JRE dream phone depicts the idea of how it will go under the tools and undergo immensely stringent durability tests to prove its mettle of being worthy of Zach. The innards are compactly positioned in the top half of the phone, with the camera array running down its middle like the spine. The lower half of the device is occupied by the removable Li-ion battery.
