This is the day when all the rumors and leaks about Nothing’s first smartphone finally come to an end, and we’ll be able to get our hands on it. There are no more rumors about the Nothing phone (1).
An aluminum frame, a 6.55-inch 1080×2400 120 Hz OLED touchscreen with 1,200 nits peak brightness and 1,200 nits touch sampling rate; a Gorilla Glass 5 on top, Gorilla Glass 5 on all four sides, and the Snapdragon 778G+ chipset are all included. The dual rear camera system is composed of an ultrawide sensor (Samsung JN1) with 114-degree field of view and a 50-megapixel Sony IMX766 with OIS, and an ultra-wide sensor (Samsung JN1 1/2.76″). A 16MP Sony IMX471 selfie camera is placed in the hole-punch in the display on the opposite side.
Nothing has stated anything about the fingerprint sensor being ultrasonic or optical, therefore we’re presuming that it is of the optical sort. Nothing OS (1) is based on Android 12 and is installed on the Nothing phone (1). The most important aspect of the software is its dependability, which is why it has been promised to be free of bloatware and not have a thick skin. The same cannot be said for the three-year Android upgrade cycle or the four-year security patch cycle.
Things like Quick Settings controls for Nothing’s TWS earphones and Tesla automobiles, which let you to switch on the car’s lights or air conditioning before you get in, are included in the software. It doesn’t guarantee a quick and seamless experience, or even that you’ll only receive the stock Android applications you expect. If you’re a fan of NFTs, you’ll see a widget on your home screen that displays your collection.
Reverse wireless charging is also supported by the 4,500 mAh battery, allowing for a complete charge in little over an hour using a 33W wired charger. There is a splash-proof rating of IP53 on the Nothing phone. A charging brick isn’t included in the package, but Nothing sells a 45W unit for €35 / £35 / INR 2,499 if you choose to buy it separately.
There are a number of unique selling factors to this phone, including its transparent back and “Glyph interface” LEDs, which are positioned near functional sections of the phone to provide pertinent information. This includes progress indicators for wireless charging and reverse wireless charging, as well as camera flashes for taking photos. Also, the LEDs sync with the pre-installed ringtones.
If you want 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, you’ll pay €469 / £399 / INR 32,999. If you want 8/256GB, you’ll have to shell out €499 / £449 / INR 35,999. The release date for the final iteration has not yet been announced.
The item will be available for purchase in London’s Covent Garden at a Nothing pop-up kiosk beginning on July 16 at 10 a.m. local time for a five-day period. Initial, there would be “limited drops with partner merchants” on July 18, followed by the Nothing website and at partner operators’ first public sale on July 21.
There are a number of countries that will sell the Nothing phone (1), in addition to the United Kingdom: the Danish and Finnish markets; France; Germany; Hong Kong; Hungary; India; Israel; Italy; Macau; Malaysia; the Netherlands; Norway; the Philippines; Poland; Portugal; Romania; Saudi Arabia; Spain; Singapore; Sweden; Switzerland; Taiwan; Thailand; and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
