Nothing could bring Apple-like ‘ecosystem’ features to its phones – Times of India

Carl Pei‘s Nothing is coming up with its second phone, the Phone (2), later this month. Now, having a couple of earbuds, two phones, and a rumoured smartwatch coming sometime later this year, Nothing seems to be working on some features that would only work between Nothing owners. Think of something similar to AirDrop, which works just between Apple devices.
On Twitter, Pei asked if the company should create features specifically for its users. He asked users about how many people have more than one Nothing smartphone user in their network.

“Nothing Phone users: we’re thinking of developing features that only work between Nothing users. Do you have friends or family on our phones that you could potentially use this with?” reads the tweet.
As per Pei’s tweet, Nothing might be developing exclusive features that function solely between Nothing phones and other devices. It is not clear what specific features are being referred to or how they would work.
Last year, before the introduction of Phone (1), Pei took to Twitter, to announce that Nothing’s approach to its product ecosystem would be different, and open. Pei said that the company will build a product ecosystem consisting of Nothing products and third-party products, which will effortlessly integrate with each other.
Nothing plans look similar to Apple’s Continuity approach. Although Pei hasn’t revealed the specific features, users have requested an AirDrop-like sharing feature, among other things.
Nothing will launch Nothing Phone (2) and unveil the new Nothing OS 2.0 on July 11.
The Nothing Phone (2) will have top-notch hardware such as the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chipset and a 4,700mAh battery, which is slightly larger than its predecessor.
Furthermore, Nothing OS 2.0 will be available to Nothing Phone (1) users next month, possibly introducing new features that are exclusive to both Nothing Phone (1) and Nothing Phone (2) users.
