Nothing Phone (1) now in India, price starts from Rs 31,999

The 6.55-inch device offers 50MP dual camera at the rear, a refined Nothing operating system (OS), 120Hz OLED display with HDR10+

After months of speculations, London-based emerging consumer electronics company Nothing launched the much-awaited Phone(1).

The programme was an online-only event and the company’s founder Carl Pei unveiled the new product with a unique design language.

Like the Ear(1) earbuds, Phone(1) too flaunts a see-through shell. The whole exterior part of the device is fully made of glass and metal. It features Gorilla Glass 5 shield front and back. And, the frame is made of recycled aluminium.

The company has incorporated multiple LED lights on the rear side. There is a reason for it. They will be used to notify users of the calls and messages. The Phone(1) will run Android 12-based Nothing OS and come with a creative Glyph interface. It offers personalised light notifications in sync with 10 different ring tones and notification options.

It also comes with HDR10+ certification, 10-bit colour (support one billion colours), and offers up peak brightness of 1,200 nits. Also, it features an in-display fingerprint sensor and dual-SIM slots.
