Just launched: The Nothing Phone (1)
The Nothing Phone (1) features an innovative Glyph Interface, a 50 MP dual camera, refined Nothing OS, 120Hz OLED display and a co-engineered Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G+ chipset. Start up tech company, Nothing technology have introduced its first smartphone and the gateway to its future connected and open product ecosystem. Featuring the innovative Glyph Interface, a 50 MP dual camera, refined Nothing OS, 120Hz OLED display and a co-engineered Qualcomm Snapdragon™ 778G+ chipset, Nothing Phone (1) delivers speed and a smooth experience at an impressive price point (Not currently stated for NZ).
With a fresh take on the smartphone industry and plenty of hype, Nothing has stimulated quite a response to their new suite of products. There is a 200,000+ pre-order waitlist currently for the Nothing Phone (1), and bids online have reached over $3,000 USD for the first 100 serialised units. It's one of the most anticipated tech products in years.
Carl Pei, CEO and Co-founder of Nothing wanted to develop a phone as a product the start up would be proud to share with friends and family. "This simple principle helped us wander off the beaten path, tune into our instincts, and create an experience that hopefully marks the start of change in a stagnant industry." He said.
One of the key features is the Glyph interface which, Nothing say, is a new way of communicating and minimise screen time. Unique light patterns made up of 900 LEDs indicate who's calling and signals app notifications, charging status and more. Simply pair individual contacts to a ringtone, each with a unique Glyph pattern, to never miss what's truly important. For quieter focus, the Flip to Glyph feature triggers silent, lights-only notifications by placing Phone (1) with the Glyph Interface face up.
The design that goes beyond the surface. Nothing Phone (1) features a transparent back with a unique design composed of over 400 components. Its 100% recycled aluminium frame makes it light and robust, while over 50% of the phone's plastic components are made with bio-based or post-consumer recycled materials - an industry leading percentage.
Dual-side Gorilla Glass 5 provides toughness, whilst advanced vibration motors make touch responses life-like. The symmetrical bezels and aluminium frame adds elegance, lightness and durability.
Nothing OS delivers only the best of Android. No bloatware, just pure speed and a smooth user experience. Hardware and software speak a single visual language, with bespoke widgets, fonts, sounds and wallpapers, all designed in-house.
The Nothing Ecosystem is the home for all your favourite tech. No more separate apps. Control third party products from Phone (1)'s Quick Settings as easily as Nothing ones, starting with Tesla. Unlock doors, turn on AC, see miles left and more. More third party brand integrations to be announced soon.
Power is delivered where it's needed most with smart software that learns which apps are your favourite. Your most-used apps load super-fast, whilst the rest are frozen to save battery.
Nothing suggest it’s time to unlearn that more cameras mean better quality photos and videos. Phone (1) boasts just a dual camera setup. But with two advanced 50 MP sensors, with the main camera powered by the flagship Sony IMX766. The wide ƒ/1.8 aperture, dual image stabilisation and 10-bit colour videos gives you everything you need to shoot exceptionally stable, true-to-life and brilliantly detailed content. Intelligent features like Night Mode and Scene Detection tailor the perfect settings for every frame, doing the work for you.
Set the Glyph Interface to full brightness and illuminate close-up subjects with a gentle light. It's a portable ring-light, without the harshness of flash.
