ย The most hyped smartphone in recent times. It is launched for โน32,999/- for the base variant in India. Since its launch, the feedback of the users was not good at all. Display issues, software issues, and battery problems.
ย After all, Nothing started giving software updates to resolve these issues. Till now, Nothing Phone (1) received more than five updates.
Recently, a popular review site named Android Authority mentioned in an article that Nothing Phone (1)โs hardware supports 1200 nits brightness but actually, software supports up to 700 nits brightness only. Nothing respondโWe will solve this issue in an updateโ.

It has a 6.55-inch 10-bit FHD+ OLED display, 120Hz refresh rate, in-display fingerprint sensor, 1200 nits brightness, 2400ร1080 resolution, HDR10+ support, 402PPI.
The display is not bright in the sunlight, even 700 nits brightness also proved wrong. Only 500 nits brightness coming. Having pretty narrow edges is a good one. 120Hz refresh rate is also not an issue here.
The overhyped 1200 nits brightness is only for HDR content. Even, HDR reproduction is very poor on this device.
In-hand feel is similar to an iPhone. The design and frame were actually good. The first thing youโll like back design on this smartphone. The device weighs 193g. The display size is also large. The size is exactly the same as iPhone 13 Pro Max.
Stereo speakers are just average overall compared to other devices. Nearly 70% of the sound comes from the bottom and rest of them comes from the earpiece.

It is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G+ processor with 642L GPU. It performs very well while browsing and the 120Hz refresh rate is also one major plus point for the performance.
When it comes to gaming, Iโll suggest better to go with the smartphone having Qualcomm Snapdragon 870.
It is handling normal games very well.ย

Nothing Phone (1) has dual rear cameras. 50-megapixel main rear camera with f/1.8 aperture, and Sony IMX766 sensor. Another camera is also 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens with f/2.2 aperture, and Samsung JN1 sensor. 16 megapixel front-facing camera with f/2.45 aperture, and Sony IMX471 sensor.
The Ultra wide-angle lens is not as great as the main camera. No need to compare this camera with flagships like iPhone 13 Pro Max and Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra.
The front camera also gives decent pictures. We can expect much better pictures because Nothing giving time to updates. Video recording is the major issue in the camera department.
In the video department, Google Pixel 6a is far better than this device.

It has 4500mAh battery with 33W fast charging support and 15W wireless charging support and there is no adapter in the retail box. The screen-on time is about 7 hours. Sometimes is about 8 hours also.
When you charge the smartphone getting heat a lot compared to other devices. It takes more than one hour to full charge. 50% charges in 30 minutes.

RAM management is quite good enough. Compared to Google Pixel 6a and other compared, not good. It is equipped with LPDDR5 RAM which is the faster RAM and UFS 3.1 ROM which is the faster ROM.
No Micro SD slot, you should think about this before purchasing. After receiving too much of OTA updates, youโll notice some bugs in the UI. There is heating issues on the rear side.
The proximity sensor has an issue. This smartphone gets three years of Android version updates and four years of Android security patch updates.

Firstly, the pricing. Base variantย launched for โน32,999/- and now โน1,000/- has been increased. For these specs, above โน30,000/- is expensive. The people will expect Snapdragon 870 processor above 30k budget.
The accessories prices are also a bit expensive. For making a transparent case it wonโt cost more than โน200 and the best price for this one is โน300 or โน400.

If you want a premium in-hand feel, you should purchase this smartphone. Apart from that, I wonโt recommend this smartphone.
I hope upcoming Nothing phones will not come with these problems. You should excuse Nothing because itโs their first ever smartphone.
