Nothing in Nepal: Brand Overview

Nothing is a very young brand founded in 2021 by (ex) OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei. It sprung into the limelight overnight because of its unique transparent aesthetic and design-centric products. The brand has unveiled three phones so far, alongside a few accessories and wearables under the CMF tag. Its offerings are mainly targeted at Gen Z and Gen Alpha who seek innovation in technology. A striking design paired with fluid software to make smartphones fun again! The brand made its first entry into Nepal in April 2023.

Initially, Phone (1) was sold in Nepal through Tech Life Studios. Now, Chaudhary Group is the official distributor of Nothing Products in Nepal. They’ve recently introduced the Phone (2) to the market and are bringing the more affordable (2a) very soon.

The CMF Phone (1) is the very first phone from the Nothing offshoot brand. Continuing the unique design approach, this smartphone stands out in the crowd with a removable back cover and a rotating dial. It is available in two shades in Nepal: Black and Green. Likewise, the phone boots on Nothing OS 2.6, offering a smooth and optimized software experience.
