Nothing Phone (1)

 

Have you heard all the hype? Now consider our review of the Nothing Phone (1) to see what we made of the phone.

A design that stands out ; Really nice 120Hz OLED display ; Plenty of phone for the money

Glyph Interface is more of a gimmick than a useful feature ; Odd performance issues, especally with the camera

The Nothing Phone (1) is a good mid-range Android phone that fails to really stand out from the crowded market unless you’re a big fan of the transparent look.

Nothing Phone (1) review

 

Is this new “flagship killer” Nothing special?

120Hz OLED display ; Unique build ; Great value

Weak sound from speakers ; Up against tough competition

Nothing's first phone offers a truly unique user experience and feature set and, despite tough competition, shouldn't be out of the running for your next smartphone

Nothing Phone 1 review: all or nothing?

 

The most hyped Android phone of a generation is here, but is it really revolutionary?

Really interesting design concept ; Decent cameras without gimmicks ; Well priced proposition ; Glyph lighting is fun

Battery life struggles to get through a day ; Do you really need Glyph lighting anyway? ; The default sounds/ringtones are grating ; Pretty chunky build

The Nothing Phone 1 may have succeeded in delivering the hype ahead of launch, but having used this Android phone extensively I find its fun-factor Glyph notification lights can't outshine the fundamental lack of battery life per charge. It's still a...

Nothing phone (1) review: Much ado about Nothing

 

Nothing wants to change the status quo and make tech interesting again. The Nothing phone (1) is essential to these plans, but how does it perform in

Quality design ; Glyph Interface is interesting ; Great display ; Value for money ; Bloat free

No track record on updates ; Little difference to any other mid-range device ; Auto-brightness not great ; No 3.5mm or microSD

The Nothing phone (1) is a competitive mid-range device with the price and performance to make it of interest. The camera only really offers one lens worth getting excited about, and, while the Glyph Interface is unique and a talking point, we haven't...

Nothing Phone 1 review: see-through star

 

Unique styling and clever lighting help the Nothing Phone 1 put a refreshing twist on the affordable phone formula

Glyphs and transparent design refreshingly different ; Capable rear cameras for the cash ; Wireless charging a nice bonus at this price

Battery life a bit disappointing ; Rivals pack more performance ; NothingOS skin a bit bare-bones right now

A funky new take on the affordable phone formula. It doesn’t get everything right, but the design alone will be enough to push it to the top of many budget shoppers’ lists.

Nothing Phone (1) review

 

Nothing's first phone boasts a bold design and loads of LEDs, but beneath the distractions this is an excellent, affordable Android

Unique, eye-catching design ; Impressive dual rear camera ; Wireless charging

Average performance ; Below average battery life ; A little buggy

The Nothing Phone (1) isn’t the smartphone revolution we were promised, but it is an impressive, affordable Android phone with respectable specs. The incandescent design won’t be to everyone’s taste, but you can’t call it boring.

Nothing Phone (1)

  (Rating Hidden)

The Nothing Phone (1) has been designed to stand out from the crowd with a transparent back that shows its innards. The manufacturer says it will be “a wake-up call for the industry as it aims to make tech fun again”. But can it live up to the hype?...
