Everything you need to know about the "Nothing Phone"!

The Nothing Phone 1 is one of the most anticipated releases of the year. This might be because of the company's viral marketing strategy that worked so well. The Nothing company is carefully controlling what we get to know about the Phone 1, but as with any launch these days, it's inevitable that a few more details are leaked before the official launch.

In that sense, here is everything we know about the Nothing Phone 1, based both on leaks and the company's official communications.

The company revealed the back of the phone. As you can see in the image above, a transparent cover gives us a look at the internals of the phone, with metal plates held by screws shielding the individual parts of the phone.

A hands-on video exclusively published by MKBHD gave us further details, confirming that the transparent back is made from glass and that the white accents decorating it consist of LEDs. They offer unique light shows based on which notification sounds you're using. This is supposed to help you find out who is calling or texting you without ever turning the phone around.

MKBHD also offers a glimpse at the front of the phone. This confirms a flat display with a left-aligned punch-hole selfie camera and evenly sized bezels all around. As for the hardware specifications, the display is supposed to be a 6.55-inch OLED with a 120Hz refresh rate and a resolution of 1080 x 2400, though this isn't officially confirmed yet.

Overall, the Nothing Phone 1 looks quite similar to the iPhone 12, with the boxy shape and the dual-camera setup in the top left corner of the back. Nothing has confirmed that the Phone 1 will be powered by a Snapdragon 778G+, which is rumoured to be paired with 8GB or 12GB of RAM and 128GB or 256GB of storage.

There could be a 50MP primary and an unspecified 8MP secondary. A 32MP camera for selfies. When it comes to battery and charging, the Nothing Phone could have a 4,500mAh battery with 45W fast charging. It also supports wireless charging and reverse wireless charging.

The Phone 1 will run Android 12, but Nothing promises to bring a few different approaches to the table with its Nothing OS skin. Carl Pei claims that it will “effortlessly connect and integrate Nothing products and products from other world-leading brands.” He compares his vision to how seamlessly the Apple ecosystem works. .

The Phone 1 is also supposed to come pre-loaded with a selection of well-designed apps. Nothing promises three years of software updates and a total of four years of security patches for the Phone 1. A leak then claims that the phone's launch date will be July 21, which lines up with the official release event.

The Nothing Phone 1 should be among the more affordable budget smartphones according to pricing involuntarily leaked by Amazon Germany. The phone will be available in an 8/128GB and a 12/256GB variant. The entry-level model should start at €470 while the higher-end version goes for €550. A bundle of the Ear 1 and the Phone 1 will cost €567.

In conclusion, this “Nothing Phone” has a very unique concept and design and overall it’s quite an eye catching product. Stay tuned for the reviews compilation and overall guide on the nothing phone once it’s officially launched!
