Nothing launches its first smartphone globally

Nothing has launched its first smartphone in India and other regions. The Nothing phone (1) comes with a Snapdragon 778G+ chipset, a 6.55-inch OLED screen and multiple storage.

There is a dual-camera setup on the back of the phone comprising two 50MP sensors, one main sensor and one ultrawide sensor. It also features a 4,500mAh battery with 33W wired charging support and 15W wireless charging support. However, the charger doesn’t come in the box.

The Nothing Phone (1) flaunts a glass body design with Corning Gorilla Glass 5 on both front and back along with an aluminium frame. The device mimics the looks of a transparent phone and comes in White and Black colour options.

There’s a USB Type-C port for charging along with dual-SIM card slots and support for 5G. There’s no headphone jack and the device comes with IP53 splash and dust resistance which may ensure that dust doesn’t accumulate under the transparent rear panel.

The back panel of the phone flaunts an LED light strip pattern powered by the Glyph Interface, indicating who’s calling and signals app notifications, charging status and more. Users can also use the light as a soft light instead of the harsh Flash LED while taking pictures.

The Nothing Phone (1) will get 3 years of Android updates and 4 years of security patches every 2 months. The device supports Face and Finger Unlock and works with face coverings too. It is backed by a 4500 mAh battery with 33W PD3.0 wired charging, 15W Qi wireless charging with dual charging support and 5W reverse charging.

Nothing has an inaugural discount on all three variants. With the discount, the phone (1) is priced at Rs 29,999 for the 8GB/128GB variant, Rs 32,999 for the 8GB/256GB variant and Rs 35,999 for the 12GB/256GB variant (including the additional HDFC bank offer). Users who pre-ordered the phone (1) will be able to buy the device right away, but an open sale for others will begin on July 21.
