Nothing Phone 1

The Nothing Phone 1’s unique design includes lights on the back panel that illuminate in combinations called glyphs. Otherwise, it’s a perfectly good, perfectly normal midrange Android phone with a 6.5-inch screen, 50-megapixel camera with OIS, and fast wired charging.

At first blush, the appeal of the Nothing Phone 1 rests on its standout design and the strength of its story. The company clearly learnt lessons from its first product and the level of polish applied to the Phone 1 surpasses expectations, while unique features like its transparent back and glyph lighting marry novelty and functionality in a way that's absent from most other phones.

The Phone 1 is a remarkably well-executed first attempt at a smartphone from Nothing.
