Nothing Has Officially Launched its Phone, and It's Too Bad It's Not ... (Gizmodo)

I still don't get the point of the LEDs on the back, but they do look cool.

The Phone (1) is available in white and black variants. The Nothing Phone (1) runs Android OS with its own Nothing launcher. Nothing confirmed that the Phone (1) would work on AT&T’s 4G network, though it doesn’t have access to 5G or VoLTE/VoWiFi. The Phone (1) will also work on T-Mobile’s 4G/5G network, though coverage is “unpredictable.” As for Verizon users, there is no available compatibility, which isn’t a surprise. The Nothing Phone (1) screen is a 6.55-inch flexible OLED display with a 2400 x 1080 pixel resolution and a maximum peak brightness of 1,200 nits for super sunny situations. The Nothing Phone (1) is an Android device with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G+ chipset, which Qualcomm introduced over a year ago. If you’re living in the U.S. and want to get your hands on this phone, you will have to find a way to import it. Other specs of note on the Phone (1) include its in-display fingerprint sensor, dual stereo speakers, IP53 water resistance, and Face ID-like unlocking capabilities. Nothing revealed to Gizmodo in a briefing that Qualcomm customized the chip to enable the Phone (1) for wireless and reverse charging. There are 900 LEDs creatively positioned across the backside of the Nothing Phone (1). They are customizable and can help notify you when a particular contact rings or messages your phone. It’s a bit of a bummer if you were looking for another Android phone option for the nearly $600 (£400) price range, especially since the Phone (1) has an impressive range of specifications. There is no expansion slot, though those have been going out of style in the Android world. The leaked and much-hyped Nothing Phone (1) has finally launched, and as expected, it’s not officially available in the states.

OnePlus co-founder makes smartphone comeback with a quirky ... (CNBC)

Nothing, the hardware venture of OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei, officially pulled the wraps off its first smartphone Tuesday.

Another quirk to the phone is that it lights up — literally — when you receive a call or app notification. Together, Apple and Samsung command a 40% share of the smartphone market. Some have even submitted bids north of $3,000 for the first 100 units on e-commerce platform StockX. Phone 1 starts at £399 ($473) for a basic model with 128GB of internal memory, making it cheaper than Apple and Samsung's latest flagship phones. And smaller Chinese phone manufacturers like Xiaomi and Oppo have gained considerable ground in Europe. Called Phone 1, it's the second product launch from the company to date.

Nothing's Android smartphone, the Phone (1), debuts without U.S. ... (Mashable)

Nothing, Carl Pei's tech startup, officially launched its debut Android smartphone. And while the Phone (1) looks cool, it's not coming to the U.S. right ...

Aside from that, it uses a proprietary version of Android called Nothing OS. It has its own widgets with dot matrix fonts and promises a lack of bloatware apps, which will be good news for Android enthusiasts who are tired of deleting apps every time they get a new phone. There are a series of lights in this back panel called the “Glyph” interface which can be customized to light up differently for calls, notifications, and charging status. Still, with a transparent back case featuring a unique light-based notification system, and white and black models, it’s one of the more stylish phones on the market.

5 Nothing Phone(1) features that should scare Apple (Creative Bloq)

A few weeks ago, the news broke loose that there was a brand new smartphone on the block looking to make an impact. With an Android operating system and a ...

The Nothing Phone boasts a 50mp camera, with dual lenses and a wide-angle sensor that gives it a 140-degree field of view. And while there has always been a lot of controversy surrounding the Apple vs Android cameras, I can safely say that I am impressed by Phone(1)'s cam. Pei goes on to explain that the Nothing team worked hard to ensure that its OLED display didn't affect the shape of the phone. The Nothing Phone (1) (opens in new tab) is being launched on 21 July 2022 from Convent Garden, London, starting from just £399. We've rounded up some of the Nothing Phone(1)'s most intriguing features that have got me excited about the phone, and may give Apple a run for its money. With an Android operating system and a unique design, the Nothing Phone(1) gathered a lot of attention and has piqued our interest. The Glyph Interface is a series of lights that correspond to the phone's functions.

All about the new Nothing Phone 1 – Techjaja (Techjaja)

When Carl Pei left OnePlus, he started a new venture after his 2020 departure from the company he co-founded. The Nothing Phone 1 has finally.

The Nothing Phone 1 gives the retro-tech vibes through to the OS, with a dot-matrix font sprinkled throughout menu screens and used in a couple of the preloaded clock and weather widgets. It’s paired with a 50-megapixel ultrawide, and around the front, there’s a 16-megapixel selfie camera. The phone’s 6.55-inch OLED is pleasant to use and offers smooth scrolling with a 120Hz screen. Glyphs are each paired with their own signature sound, a combination of old-school-tech-inspired pings and chirps with quirky names like “squiggle” and “isolator.” One begs to wonder if these are features or gimmicks. This is a phone that is not suitable for a case. The Nothing Phone 1 has finally been launched and has thus far existed in a cloud of Nothing-generated hype — no doubt a carryover from OnePlus. It is no true flagship, as there is no Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor, telephoto camera, or IP68 water resistance.

Is the Nothing Phone (1) waterproof? (PhoneArena)

What does IP53 mean? The ingress protection rating (i.e. IP rating) refers to the internal protection of the device from external elements - namely liquids and ...

The rating of 3 indicates that Nothing Phone (1) can survive being sprayed with water over a period of time. In the case of the Nothing Phone (1) that number is 5, which translates to “dust protected”. This means that ingress of dust is not entirely impossible, but it is very difficult for a sufficient amount of it to enter into the device and interfere with its internal functioning. However, in short, the Nothing Phone (1) is only water resistant and to a limited extent at that.
