Nothing phone (1) is finally fully official

Nothing has teased its first smartphone a lot over the past few weeks, and we also saw a pretty comprehensive array of leaks, but today's the day when all of that is finally over. The Nothing phone (1) is now fully official.

The handset comes with a recycled aluminum frame, a 6.55-inch 1080x2400 120 Hz OLED touchscreen with 1,200 nits peak brightness, 240 Hz touch sampling rate, Gorilla Glass 5 on top and symmetrical bezels on all four sides, the Snapdragon 778G+ chipset at the helm, and a dual rear camera system comprising of a 50 MP f/1.88 Sony IMX766 1/1.56" main sensor with OIS and a 50 MP f/2.2 Samsung JN1 1/2.76" ultrawide sensor with a 114-degree field-of-view. On the other side, embedded in the hole-punch within the display, sits a 16 MP Sony IMX471 selfie shooter.

Speaking of things embedded in the screen, the fingerprint sensor is one of those too, and since Nothing hasn't mentioned anything about it being ultrasonic, we're assuming it's of the optical variety. The Nothing phone (1) runs Nothing OS (1) based on Android 12. The key with the software is reliability, so it's not a heavy skin, and it's promised to not have any bloatware. Nothing also promises three years of Android updates and four years of security patches every two months.

The software does come with a few small additions on top of stock Android, like a Quick Settings control for Nothing's ear (1) TWS earbuds, and another one for Tesla cars, allowing you to turn on the EV's lights, or AC before you enter it, that sort of thing. Nothing promises you'll only get default Android apps, and a fast and smooth experience. If you're into NFTs, you have a home screen widget built-in which will display your NFT collection.

The 4,500 mAh battery has support for 33W wired charging (achieving a full charge in 70 minutes), 15W wireless charging (full charge in 120 minutes) as well as 5W reverse wireless charging. The Nothing phone (1) is IP53 rated for splash resistance. If you want a charging brick, one isn't included in the box, but Nothing is selling a 45W model separately for €35 / £35 / INR 2,499.

Probably the main unique selling points of this device will be the transparency on the back, as well as the "Glyph interface" LEDs which are also over there, and these are placed next to functional areas of the phone, so they can show you relevant information. For example, when you're charging you get a progress indicator, when you're reverse wireless charging something you also get an indicator of that, and camera lights too. The LEDs also sync with the built-in ringtones.

The Nothing phone (1) will be priced at €469 / £399 / INR 32,999 with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, €499 / £449 / INR 35,999 with 8/256GB, and €549 / £499 / INR 38,999 with 12/256GB. This last version will arrive later than the other two.

Speaking of arrival, the first opportunity to buy the device will be for five days starting on July 16 at 10 AM local time at a Nothing pop-up kiosk in Covent Garden in London. Then, on July 18, there will be "limited drops with partner retailers", followed by the first official sale on July 21 on the Nothing website and at partner operators.

Aside from the UK, the Nothing phone (1) will be offered in Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Hungary, India, Israel, Italy, Macau, Malaysia, the Netherlands, Norway, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Singapore, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, and UAE.

Carl Pei - the man behind the Nothing brand made some important announcements today. Nothing is not an audio company as previously thought and it aims to be an ecosystem rival to the likes of Apple. Pei even went as far as claiming that Nothing aims to be “the most compelling alternative to Apple” with products that connect and function seamlessly. The company is in fact readying an entry in the smartphone market which will be dubbed Nothing phone (1) and will run a custom user interface on top of Android dubbed Nothing OS.

As described by Pei, Nothing phone (1) will “be a breath of fresh air to the sleepy smartphone industry” bringing better value to users with a one-of-a-kind design. No actual specifications were provided but we got a clear indication that Nothing is partnering with Qualcomm which is the likely chipset provider as well as Samsung, Sony and Visionox which will also be key component suppliers.

Pei confirmed more information will be shared later this summer signaling a likely launch for the Nothing phone (1) and guaranteed 3 OS updates and 4 years of Android security updates. We also got a cryptic schematic of what’s believed to be the phone (1)’s back design which may feature notification lights and a transparent back design expected to expose some of its key components.

Nothing OS will be the custom Android skin power the Nothing phone (1) and the Nothing OS launcher will be available to download and use for select Android smartphones in April. The premise behind the skin is a smooth and fast user experience without any bloatware or heavy system apps. The interface features a dot matrix design with font, icons and widgets throughout the operating system having a unified look.

Pei also talked about dynamic RAM caching which will help your most-used apps launch faster. The UI has gentle changing animations and a uniform design. First-party apps like the voice recorder come with a minimalist design and a cool rewind feature. Speaking of rewind, you can re-watch today’s Nothing event here.

Nothing releases beta launcher on the Play Store

Nothing today announced that it is releasing its Nothing Launcher for other Android devices on the Google Play Store.

The Nothing Launcher, currently in beta, is very similar to a no-nonsense stock Android launcher. It features a set of standard circular app icons and a single custom wallpaper.

For those who like to use widgets, the launcher comes with two, a clock and a weather widget. Both feature the same dot matrix typography as Nothing's branding and both can be had with a clear or black background.

The launcher also includes an interesting feature called Max Icons and Max Folders. You can press and hold on any icon or app folder on the homescreen and click a button to supersize it. This makes the icon or folder go from a 1x1 size to 3x3.

Nothing says the launcher will be available on Samsung Galaxy S21 and S22 series, Google Pixel 5, and Google Pixel 6 series, with OnePlus support coming later. However, we were able to install and run the launcher on a OnePlus 10 Pro just fine.

You can download the launcher from the link below. Additional wallpapers and ringtones by Teenage Engineering can be downloaded here.

Nothing phone (1) will have a transparent back and wireless charging

Nothing is a company founded by Carl Pei, who pioneered the extensive teaser campaign for a new product while at OnePlus. Unsurprisingly then, the upcoming Nothing phone (1) is getting an extended teaser campaign of its own. We've already learned about some carrier partnerships, and today it's time for a new nugget of information.

The Nothing phone (1) will have a transparent back. This was revealed today by Pei and Tom Howard, Nothing's head of design. Howard says they really "wanted to bring the inside out", which understandably created some hurdles, as there are over 400 components in a smartphone.

Furthermore, the Nothing team wanted to celebrate those which they think are really interesting to emphasize. That means things like the camera and wireless charging coil. "From an industry perspective, you're looking at components that the end user normally never sees, so you almost have to overhaul the entire manufacturing proces in order to highlight them", Howard says.

Pei says Nothing wants to have its own, very recognizable, iconic design language right from the start, so that when you look at all its products, you can immediately see a coherent vision. "Phone (1) and Ear (1) will clearly be from the same family, and as we fill in the rest of our product portfolio, we will maintain the same philosophy", Pei said. He thinks no other tech company aside from Apple has such a consistent way of designing products, and so Nothing should be able to stand out.

In fact, one of the unique selling points of his company would be the intrinsic beauty and intricacy of consumer electronics. "I think a really strong principle that we have is that design is not just ornament but that there needs to be marriage between form and function", says Howard. The Nothing phone (1)'s frame will be made from recycled aluminum to reduce its initial carbon footprint.
 
Agora é esperar pelo dia da apresentação para ver o hardware e preço.
E claro ver o Carl Pei que tem para oferecer a nível de software, já que prometeu ser o concorrente do iPhone.
 
Acho que a unica coisa que vai ser concorrente do iPhone é mesmo no preço! Lol
😂 No preço não acredito, isso seria a morte no telefone mal saísse.
Carl Pei tem uma boa reputação que ganhou na oneplus, ele deve querer mantê-la e não deve querer ver a empresa dele a desaparecer rapidamente.
 
Já falaram em 500€, ou seja, é daí pra cima.
também não acredito que irá ser muito superior a esse preço, pelos boatos que correm na net, as specs do telemóvel coloca-o numa gama média/alta e não para fazer frente aos topos de gama.
O que tenho mesmo curiosidade é no software, uma vez que na primeira apresentação, Carl Pei referiu várias vezes o iPhone e que tem como objetivo ser um concorrente direto dentro do android, dizendo mesmo que não existe nada no mercado que se compare ao iPhone a nivel de software (conectividade com outros produtos, etc).
E mesmo dentro do preço de 500€, ou lá perto, já existem várias opções bem interessantes em várias marcas.
 
Se vier com o Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 não acredito que venha por 500€, se vier com o 7 Gen 1 acredito, e se vier com o 778G (também vi esse leak) não pode ser nem perto de 500€.
 
bonito está, tem aspeto de iphone, mas fizessem o que fizessem ia ser sempre parecido a alguma marca, agora falta saber o que tem de especial para o pessoal comprar, que se não tiver nada de especial, quando reformar o meu huawei mate 20 pro vou para o pixel ou Samsung ultra.
 
Gosto da pinta do bicho, mas o facto de só ter 2 cameras indicia que, quase de certeza, vai ser um mid-range, com specs a condizer.

Por isso não tenho grande interesse nesta versão, talvez para o ano haja uma versão Pro.
