Nothing has confirmed that the first smartphone by the company dubbed the Nothing Phone (1) will launch in India on July 12. Earlier this week, tipster Yogesh Brar stated that the Nothing Phone (1) will likely be manufactured in India. Now, this rumor has been confirmed.

Nothing India’s General Manager and Vice President Manu Sharma confirmed that the Phone (1) will be manufactured locally. The GM added that the company’s first smartphone will be manufactured in Tamil Nadu and sold via Flipkart. So what does this mean?

For starters, the device will be a lot cheaper to produce in India than if it were made overseas, which will help the company save costs. The company will also be able to avoid the heavy customs duties and tariffs that the Indian government imposes on goods manufactured outside India. This will help the company price the Phone (1) much more aggressively in the Indian market which is known for having tough competition in the mid-range segment.

Sharma did not reveal any other details regarding the upcoming smartphone in his interview with Economic Times, however, we have a good idea of what to expect thanks to the various leaks surrounding the smartphone.

The device will come with a transparent back, and on the front, it will likely have a 6.55-inch full HD+ OLED display with 1080 x 2400 pixels resolution and 90Hz refresh rate.

On the inside, the device is expected to come with Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 chipset paired with 8 GB of RAM, and 128 GB of storage. It may be powered by a 4500mAh battery and support wired and wireless fast charging.

Seeing that the smartphone is yet to enter the production stage, we can say that it’s still at least a month away from the launch. Nothing is yet to make an official announcement about the launch date of the smartphone. However, we can expect to get a confirmation very soon, probably by the end of this week.

So far, the company has officially confirmed that the smartphone will sport a transparent back, an aluminum mid-frame, wireless charging support, and a Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset under the hood. Moreover, it is also known that the smartphone will be available for purchase through Flipkart in India.

Furthermore, TechDroider has unofficially confirmed that the smartphone will come with a 6.55-inch full HD+ OLED panel offering a resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels. The smartphone will also have super-slim bottom bezels.

If we enter into the realm of expectations, the Nothing Phone (1) will likely feature the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 SoC paired with up to 8 GB of RAM, and up to 128 GB of storage. It may be powered by a 4500mAh battery and support wired and wireless fast charging.
