They are saying that imitation is one of the best type of flattery, and by that logic, Nothing clearly needs to be proud. It managed to create a singular design language due to a see-through aesthetic and intelligent use of LED lighting on the again, and it allowed telephones just like the Telephone 2, Telephone 2a, and soon-to-launch Telephone 3a and 3a Professional to face out amidst a sea of similar-looking units.
Different manufacturers are beginning to pay attention to this, and rolling out their very own iterations of the design. Infinix tried to emulate Nothing’s distinctive design with the GT 10 Professional, and rugged gadget maker Doogee is now getting in on the motion with the Blade GT Extremely at MWC 2025.
The Blade GT Extremely is touted to be the thinnest rugged cellphone round, however at 10.5mm and 260g, it’s bulkier and significantly heavier the Xiaomi 15 Extremely, S25 Extremely, and nearly another common cellphone. Doogee is clearly seeking to create the same aesthetic as Nothing’s telephones, and that is noticeable in the way in which the LED lighting is about up behind the cellphone.
You get a hoop LED mild that encircles the center portion on the again, and there are lighting zones subsequent to the digital camera island and beneath it. The lighting is configurable, and it may be triggered to activate with incoming notifications or music playback. Along with the lighting, Doogee is emulating the see-through design of Nothing telephones with seen screws and uncovered connectors.
I did not get to make use of the Blade GT Extremely because it was behind a glass enclosure, however the Nothing-inspired design clearly permits the gadget to face out towards the remainder of the rugged units in Doogee’s portfolio. The cellphone is powered by the Dimensity 7300 platform, and it has a 6.72-inch LCD panel with 120Hz refresh, 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, and a 5500mAh battery with 18W charging.
It runs Android 14 out of the field with no point out of when Android 15 will change into accessible, and it is evident that Doogee is positioning the rugged construct high quality and “distinctive” design because the differentiator. The cellphone is happening sale in choose areas beginning this month, and it prices $399.
