According to a recent report by Reverse, Carl Pei’s new company Nothing is aggressively attacking the former OnePlus staff and as of today 70% of the software team comes from there, along with 30% of the hardware team. But while this report isn’t exactly official information, Carl Pei himself has welcomed on board Kyle Kiang, who was a former Chief Marketing Officer of OnePlus.

Kyle Kiang will serve as Vice President of Nothing in North America, spearheading the launch of the highly anticipated Nothing Phone (2). Unlike last year, the new Phone (2) is expected to be a flagship phone with Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 and will also arrive on US soil. Given Kyle’s success with the OnePlus and T-Mobile deal in the past, it’s no wonder Carl Pei wanted him in his company.
Maybe Nothing wants to please tech enthusiasts like OnePlus did in the beginning. After all, old die-hard fans of OnePlus mostly agree that the company has lost its mojo in recent years and has made room for other companies like Nothing to lure tech enthusiasts.
