OnePlus founder Carl Pei’s new consumer technology brand named ‘Nothing’ has entered the Android market with the launch of its first smartphone named Nothing Phone (1).
Pei started OnePlus in 2013 along with Pete Lau and left in 2020 to start Nothing.
The first product of the company was Nothing Ear (1) earbuds.
It has a unique look compared to others with a LED-lighting transparent back panel along with a clean software experience.
However the transparency isn’t quite real, since the device actually comes with a casing inside the glass rear panel that mimics the look of a transparent phone.
The device has a glass body design with Corning Gorilla Glass 5 on both front and back along with an aluminium frame.
It features a 6.55-inch flexible OLED display with 2400×1080-pixel resolution at 402 ppi.
There’s HDR10+ support along with 60Hz -120Hz adaptive refresh rate.
There’s a USB Type-C port for charging along with dual-SIM card slots and support for 5G.
There’s no headphone jack.
It features IP53 splash and dust resistance which helps ensure dust doesn’t accumulate under the transparent rear panel.
This is where the device shines.
The back panel flaunts an LED light strip pattern powered by the Glyph Interface made up of 900 LEDs.
The lights indicate who’s calling and signals app notifications, charging status and more.
Another use for the light is as a soft light instead of the harsh Flash LED while taking pictures.
There’s a dual-camera setup at the back with a 50 MP Sony IMX766 sensor, ƒ/1.88 aperture, OIS and EIS image stabilisation, HDR and Slo-Mo (120 fps).
Then there’s a 50 MP ultra wide Samsung JN1 sensor with ƒ/2.2 aperture, EIS image stabilisation, Macro (4 cm) and HDR.
On the front is a 16 MP Sony IMX471 sensor with ƒ/2.45 aperture and support for 1080p video recording at 30 fps.
It is powered by a Qualcomm SnapdragonTM 778G+ (6nm TSMC process) chipset clocked at 1.8GHz with Adreno 642L GPU, LDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage.
Android 12-based Nothing OS handles software on the Nothing Phone (1).
There is thankfully no bloatware.
The device will get 3 years of Android updates and 4 years of security patches every 2 months.
The device contains a 4500 mAhbattery with 33W PD3.0 wired charging, 15W Qi wireless charging with dual charging support and 5W reverse charging.
The device has no microSD card slot for storage expansion.
It does not come with any charging adapter or protection case.
It will be available in India starting 7 PM on 21 July 2022 on Flipkart.
Preorder benefit includes a Rs 1,000 discount.
Pre-order customers can avail an introductory price for a limited period (-Rs 1000) :
It is offered with three RAM and storage options and in two colours– Black and White.
The 45W charging adapter costs Rs 2,499.
The original clear case for protection comes at Rs 1,499.
Nothing is also selling a tempered glass at Rs 999.
