Nothing will launch its first smartphone dubbed the Nothing Phone (1) on 12 July. The smartphone will be
available in India from the same date and customers can place pre-orders for the smartphone on
Flipkart.
Ahead of its launch, the company has teased multiple features of the Phone (1) like its 120Hz refresh rate, in-display fingerprint sensor, and Snapdragon 778+ SoC. Now, the brand has partnered with popular Indian Youtuber Technical Guruji giving us the first look at the phone’s packaging.
The video has confirmed the rumors that the Nothing Phone (1) packaging will not have a charger in
the box. Additionally, the video also confirms that the Phone (1) is made of recycled plastic and the frame of the device is made of recycled aluminum.
The video also states that the packaging box of the device is made out of recycled materials and uses zero plastic as the company aims toward a sustainable future.
It appears that Noting has taken the same route as brands like Apple and Samsung who don’t ship a charger with their premium mid-range and flagship devices citing environmental reasons. The brands usually argue that their customers already have a charger from the brand lying around so they don’t need another one. However, Nothing being new to the smartphone market can’t make this claim. The Phone (1) has been spotted on certification sites supporting 33W fast charging, but the charger made for the device offers up to 45W fast charging support.
This move is likely a cost-cutting measure as the brand is rumored to price its debut smartphone quite aggressively. It will be interesting to see if the brand chooses to sell the charger separately and if yes, then for how much. Stay tuned for more.
