Nothing has shared a video detailing the creation of a theoretical smartphone based on YouTuber MKBHD’s dream device.
The phone would feature a Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, a 6,000mAh battery, and the rear cameras from the Galaxy S24 Ultra.
Key Features and Specs
The phone would have a 6.1-inch OLED display (120Hz LTPO, QHD+), 1TB of storage, and 16GB of RAM. It would also include 65W wired and 15W wireless charging.
For cameras, MKBHD requested the Galaxy S24 Ultra’s rear cameras and the Pixel 9 Pro’s 50MP selfie camera.
Estimated Cost
The bill of materials (BOM) for this device totals $500. However, this figure doesn’t include other important costs like R&D, marketing, or profit margins.
The R&D process alone could cost around $20 million, according to Nothing. Additional costs such as staff for software updates and premium production expenses would also be significant.
No Glyph Lighting in the Design
The renders created by Concept Central show a sleek design, but interestingly, the phone lacks the Glyph lighting system that is a signature feature of Nothing’s existing phones.
Despite its thin profile, the phone includes a 6,000mAh battery and a quad rear camera system.
