Nothing, the corporate behind the Nothing Cellphone (1), has one thing up its sleeve. In line with the newest leaks circulating the web airwaves, there’s a Nothing speaker coming down the pipeline.

91Mobiles revealed what seems like a promotional render by way of tipster Kuba Wojciechowski, who has been on the mark with gadget leaks earlier than. The Nothing speaker seems designed to be boxy like its Android smartphone sibling. It additionally has buttons for quantity and energy controls and a “red-accented” button on the facet—I wouldn’t be stunned if that had been some motion button to activate a digital assistant for sensible house instructions. Or maybe it’s a fast mute button.

The render additionally exhibits speaker cutouts on the entrance. 91Mobiles says they’re stand-ins for tweeters and sub-woofers. It’s not not like different sensible audio system in the marketplace, just like the Apple HomePod, although Nothing’s model seems just a little extra like an amplifier than a speaker. There additionally seems to be a scrolling LED window, which could possibly be a enjoyable aesthetic addition to the purported Nothing speaker. Since there aren’t any technical specs accessible, we will solely assume.

Nothing has definitely been teasing one thing on its Twitter feed this week. The first tweet exhibits what seems like a high quality assurance employee testing the circuits on a tool—when you have a look at the monitor within the background, you’ll see an x-ray transferring round on the display. I feel I see elements.

One thing mighty is on the horizon.

The 2 tweets that adopted activated my excessive aversion to insect our bodies. The first tweet includes a beetle—my colleague, Andrew Liszewski, believes it to be a three-horned rhinoceros beetle—accompanied by a cryptic emoji message (your browser might not have the ability to present them): “🐞 out, 🪲 in.” The second is a 10-second clip of the identical rhino beetle crawling round. Gross!

It’s doubtless these tweets aren’t even speaking about this leaked speaker. Carl Pei, founding father of Nothing and former co-founder of OnePlus, did say final yr in an interview with CNBC that the corporate plans to tackle Apple with its smartphone launch. Maybe a brilliant cool speaker integrating with the tremendous cool smartphone is a part of that plan. We gained’t know something till there’s an official announcement.
