Just before the first Nothing phone was released, a new TWS button design surfaced. However, the expected replacements of the Ear (1) did not launch alongside the phone. The company was waiting for the right moment to take an official look at the new design and that was at London Fashion Week.
Dubbed the Nothing Ear (stick), these were featured during Chet Lo’s catwalk show. The case has been completely redesigned, it is now shaped like a lipstick and should be more pocketable than the original plate design.
The case of Nothing Ear (stick) TWS buttons is a significant deviation from the original ear (1)
This was just a teaser though, so nothing keeps the exact details about the new TWS buttons a secret. In fact, we only get a glimpse of the buttons themselves through the transparent elements of their housing.
Unconfirmed information suggests that the buds drop the rubber tip of the ear (1), making them resemble the vanilla AirPods. Some may find this design more comfortable to wear, but it makes it harder to get a good seal.
Nothing also showed limited edition bags that can hold both the phone and the buttons
The Nothing Ear (stick) will launch later this year, but the company declined to provide more details.
By the way, Nothing took part in the fashion show with limited-edition bags that use sheer fabric (transparency is at the heart of the Nothing design), which makes the Glyph lights of the phone (1) shine through (check the image above for a better picture Look). The bags will be available early next year.
