London-based consumer tech brand Nothing is collaborating with Qualcomm Technologies Inc., and its Snapdragon platform to power future tech products. Nothing also announced that it has completed a Series A extension of $50M from strategic and private investors.

“The successful launch of our first product, ear (1), proved that there is room for a new challenger brand to emerge and disrupt today’s sea of sameness. Users deserve better products that are simpler to use, accessible, yet look amazing,” said Carl Pei, CEO and Co-founder of Nothing. Pei was one of the founders of OnePlus brand.
