Community Edition

edit

This is a project by Nothing to collaborate with their growing community. In this variation of the phone, the community is allowed to be a part of creating the phone in four sectors: hardware design, wallpaper design, packaging design and marketing. Each part of development includes submissions from participants, which are then viewed by the community and then they vote for their favourites. The winning design's makers get to work with the actual team at Nothing which is involved in the creation of the phone and all other aspects of production.[5]
