Two years after Carl Pei left OnePlus, the buzzy smartphone brand he co-founded with Pete Lau in Shenzhen in 2013, the entrepreneur is set to launch a new smartphone with his new company Nothing, all from a new location.
“London is a great location because there’s so much talent here, especially in the financial services sector,” Pei said in a video call with the South China Morning Post on June 29. “I mean, we need funding also to grow this company when it comes to design talent, marketing talent, branding talent.”
