The mysterious Nothing Phone (1) will be launched on July 12 in an event called “Return to instinct”. The smartphone’s pre-order details are already out and we know that it will be sold in India exclusively through Flipkart. However, according to a new report, Nothing is also considering selling its debut phone offline through Reliance Digital stores.
91mobiles in association with tipster Yogesh Brar, has revealed that Nothing is in conversation with Reliance Digital to sell the Nothing Phone (1) in offline stores. For those who don’t know, Reliance Digital is an Indian consumer electronics store. It is a subsidiary of Reliance Retail, owned by Reliance Industries.
