Opinion

The Nothing Phone 1 isn’t a high-end headset. Despite the excitement, it is a mid-range smartphone with a premium price. However, for the time being, this smartphone remains in the mid-range.

Screen: OLED 120 Hz Panel

When it comes to the screen, Nothing Phone 1 sports a 6.55-inch OLED display with a Full HD resolution of 2900X1080P. There is also a touch rate of 240 Hz with a refresh rate of 120 Hz. HOR 10+ compatibility and a maximum brightness of 1200 nits are also provided.

The Nothing Phone 1’s OLED screen is within our price range. I’m a little too pleased with the Alive Duller mode, which is enabled by default. Before I can inform you about the color, we need to go over everything again.

By default, this new rate is not force optimized. In some instances, it can transition from 60 to 120 Hz instantly and without latency. But I’ll have to put the Nothing Phone 1 through its paces again. However, I think the 240 Hz touch sampling rate is a little low. Particularly for gaming.

Opinion

When it comes to the display, some individuals say that when they open a black backdrop on their smartphone, they receive a green tint in it; this problem is sometimes found in phones.

Battery Life: Wireless and Reverse Wireless Charging

The battery in the Nothing Phone 1 is 4500 mAh. Which supports wired fast charging at 33W, Qi wireless charging at 15W, and reverse wireless charging at 5W. Nothing Phone 1’s battery capacity is 4500 mAh. It appears to be sufficient for daily use.

Its USB, on the other hand, is available separately. Fortunately, the manufacturer does not provide any exclusive features on the charging technology. Anyone who is compatible with the USV PD 3.0 standard will be able to benefit from 33-watt fast charging in wire mode.

Nothing Phone 1 has found a winning formula. Which is compatible with its earbuds. Wireless and Reverse Wireless Charging are available at various pricing points.

Opinion

If you have an opinion about the battery of this phone, then this phone has more light, so its 4500 mAh battery is insufficient, but it can still provide a one-day battery backup.

Design: A mix of novelty and boring

The translucent bank glass on one of the Noting Phone 1’s designs makes it stand out. This displays some components as well as the visible LED in the light. The bank glass, on the other hand, does not interact with it.

If you hold Noting Phone 1, it will seem like you’re holding an iPhone 13. It has a straight aluminum frame with rounded corners.

A smartphone with dimensions of 159.2X75.8X8.3mm and a weight of 193.5 grams. Because it isn’t too heavy. whereas the intriguing aspect is the well-known Glide interface.

Photo: No fuss with two lenses

The Nothing Phone 1 features a dual camera module with a 50 MP wide angle lens and Sony IMX 766 sensor, as well as a 50 MP ultra-wide angle lens.

The selfie camera features a shooter with a resolution of 16 MP.  When it comes to the camera on the Nothing Phone 1, it resembles that of the iPhone 12.

It does not appear to have a 2MP depth or macro sensor. Second, we outperform Sony. The IMX766 sensor should produce good wide-angle results. Which is already present in other devices.

Opinion

I’m less convinced by the ultra-wide-angle lens and its Samsung Isocell JNI sensor, which limits video recording to 4K at 30 frames per second with the main lens.

Performance

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G+ SoC in the Nothing Phone 1 is made utilizing a 6 mm process. And F is rendered in conjunction with the Adreno 642 GPU. All have 8 or 12GB of RAM and 128 or 256GB of storage.

The Snapdragon 778G+ is a mid-tier processor. This is the crucial point. This has led to considerable dissatisfaction among those who expected the Nothing Phone 1 to be an ultra-premium flagship.

However, Qualcomm has had time to adjust to this platform, and it consumes significantly less energy than its higher-end equivalents, and it has far fewer problems with overheating.

Pros

  • It will get updates every 2 months
  • It is made of aluminum

Cons

  • A 4,500 mAh battery is not enough for this phone
  • It does not have an SD card slot or headphone jack

Conclusion

Nothing Phone 1 was heavily promoted prior to its release. However, all of the features, quality, and so on specified for this phone are inadequate, as it will acquire better phones than nothing phone 1 in the job price. If you wish to purchase this phone, you can do so. However, we believe that this is a poor phone.

Nothing Phone 1 was oversold. Personally, I am unconcerned. The Nothing Phone 1 has the latest Snapdragon SoC and is not a €1,000 flagship. To be sure, I’ll come back to you as soon as possible with a complete evaluation of Nothing Phone 1.
