Nothing, the UK-based smartphone company, is set to launch its first Community Edition smartphone on October 30. The Nothing Phone (2a) Community Edition is the result of a six-month collaboration with the company’s fan community, who contributed to the device's hardware, wallpaper, packaging design and marketing campaign.
The final design showcases a unique “Phosphorescence” concept, featuring a striking green finish that glows in the dark.
The first stage of development, which commenced in March, finalized the hardware design, showcasing a glowing radium pattern on the rear. The launch teaser for the new device even highlights a luminous firefly design on the back. Stage 2 which started in May was centered on wallpaper design. The winning concept, titled “Connected Collection,” will be pre-installed on the Phone (2a) Community Edition.
Furthermore, Stage 3 in June focused on Packaging Design, which connected the hardware and wallpaper designs from stages 1 and 2. “Less is More” with a green theme was picked as the winner among all entries.
Lastly, Stage 4 in July this year focused on the marketing campaign which included a creative concept to market the Phone (2a) Community Edition. “Find your light. Capture Your Light” was chosen as the winner.
