After months of teasing, Nothing has finally launched its first smartphone called the Nothing Phone (1). So let’s take a look at all of its specifications and features in detail.

Design & display

Starting off with the design, the Phone (1) is quite unique from other smartphones on the market. The company has made this device with a transparent back cover that reveals the grooves and outlines of the hardware inside the smartphone.

A clean-looking camera bump is tucked away in the top left corner of the device, which is outlined by one of the most unique features of the smartphone, the LED lights. The Nothing Phone (1) comes with a Glyph interface made up of over 900 LEDs. This is basically a multi-purpose notification light that can do more than just let you know that you got a notification.

It can act as a progress bar for when you are charging the phone, indicate when a device is being wirelessly reverse charged, and can also let you know who’s calling you when your phone is silent and faced down. Additionally, it also has custom notification light patterns to go with different apps. Other than that, the device features flat aluminum edges that give it a premium feel.

Up front, the Phone (1) comes with a 6.55-inch OLED Full HD+ AMOLED display that offers a 120Hz refresh rate. It has 500 nits typical brightness, 1,200 nits peak brightness, HDR10+ support, and 10-bit color. The display has a punch-hole located at the top left for the front camera and features Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection and an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor. The display has even bezels going around it giving the screen a premium look.

Specs

Coming to what’s under the hood, the device houses a Snapdragon 778G+ chipset paired with the Adreno 642L GPU. It comes configured with up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. It uses a 4,500mAh battery to keep the lights on and pairs it with 33W fast charging support. The company states that the Phone (1) can be charged to full in about an hour. The device also has 15W wireless charging and 5W reverse wireless charging.

Software-wise, the Phone (1) comes with the Nothing OS which is pretty close to stock Android 12 and doesn’t have any bloatware. The brand is currently working on making the phone compatible with their devices (Nothing Ear 1) along with third-party devices like Tesla cars. Nothing promises 3 years of Android updates and 4 years of security patches every 2 months for the Phone (1).

Cameras

For optics, the Nothing Phone (1) brings a dual camera on the back consisting of a 50-megapixel Sony IMX766 sensor with f/1.8 aperture and a 1/1.56 inch sensor size. The primary sensor has support for both optical image stabilization and electronic image stabilization. The primary camera is accompanied by a 50-megapixel Samsung JN1 ultra-wide sensor with 114 degrees field of view. Up front, the smartphone gets a 16-megapixel Sony IMX471 sensor for snapping selfies and video calls.

8GB + 256GB – £449
