Product Information

Photo and video pixels of different camera and shooting modes may vary according to the specific situation. The Phone (1) may not be life-changing, or the radical break from industry norms that founder Carl Pei would like you to think it is, but this is a well-specified, affordable phone that offers excellent value for money.

Fast-forward to October 2022 and the company revealed that it's now in direct talks with US carriers to bring a device to the region, although the Phone 1 isn't explicitly the device mentioned (suggesting Nothing's next phone might instead be US compatible). Advanced vibration motors for life-like touch responses and an aluminium frame with symmetrical bezels for elegance, lightness and durability, making it a joy to hold and behold.As you turn the phone in your hand, the shifting specular highlights and shadows that appear over and under the layers of differently-textured components, screws and ribbon cables beneath the Phone 1's back glass make it a far more interesting rectangle of electronics to look at than most other phones on the market; not to mention it has Teenage Engineering's (a trendy Swedish consumer electronics company, who collaborate with Nothing on its industrial design) fingerprints all over it. Set it to maximum brightness to illuminate close-up subjects with soft and natural light, allowing you to capture every detail in any environment without the harshness of flash.

With a design that goes beyond the norm, it features Dual-side Gorilla Glass for unrivalled strength, creating a durable and tough surface. You can experience exceptional ruggedness and carry your phone with you on all of your excursions owing to the Dual-side Gorilla Glass featured in this smartphone. General Product Type Smartphone Form Factor Touch Protection Water-resistant, splash-resistant, dust-resistant Width 75. Despite the promise of transparency you can’t see any chips or circuitry here, but instead there’s a central circle marking the phone’s wireless charging coil, a winding strip for a connector, and visible screws that hint at the phone’s construction. Product Description Nothing Phone (1) - white - 5G smartphone - 256 GB - GSM Product Type 5G smartphone Display OLED display - 2400 x 1080 pixels - 6.It's worth mentioning that since the launch of the Phone (1) we have also tested and reviewed the Nothing flagship, the Phone (2). Selected lines only, determined by size, weight or whether delivered direct from one of our suppliers. Nothing's own quick-pair functionality makes connecting select buds – such as the company's own Nothing Ear 1 and Ear Stick – instant (although a full list of supported products hasn't been shared).

Samsung has recently been dipping its toes into mid-range waters as well, with the five-star Galaxy A53 5G. Infuse your personality with bespoke apps, fonts, sounds and wallpapers, and with seamless integration for third-party products, you"ll never be limited. That said, it still serves its purpose, with a nice wide 114-degree field of view that gives you more opportunities to be creative. The brand's debut earphones shared the same approach, too — and the upgraded Nothing Ear (2) earbuds are some of our favourite AirPods Pro alternatives. It's a phone designed to grab attention and the brand positions it as the antithesis of all the other copycat models out there.Customise and adapt features to suit your needs with the Glyph Interface on the back and the new Nothing OS 1. The Nothing Phone (1) uses Live HDR for true-to-life highlights and shoadows that make every detail pop with rich contrast. It is fully functional and has been professionally refurbished, tested, inspected and cleaned to excellent condition by qualified sellers.

I was sent the model with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage for review, but the Nothing Phone (1) also comes in 8GB/128GB and 12GB/256GB flavours. Primarily appealing to tech enthusiasts, it will be interesting to see whether the Phone (1) achieves a wider reach, including those less informed about the newest releases who simply want a new phone without having to pay too much. You'll not be so enthu about the glyphs after some time, but what you'll notice and appreciate in this phone is easiness, design, handiness and good battery life (even with gps and bluetooth on for longer duration). The portrait mode could be improved – the background is efficiently blurred, but I did notice the occasional jagged line around my subject.Notification lights dim for less disruption, and you can check the battery status and see when reverse charging is active.
